Diablo 4 game director believes it's 'normal' for most action RPGs to undergo major reworks: 'Friction points that we could never imagine suddenly rear their heads over the course of 10,000 hours'

Diablo 4 season 4 loot reborn key art of a barbarian rogue and sorceress on a bright background.

The story of Diablo 4 for the last three years is one of constant reworks and reinventions of its basic systems. Loot was "reborn" in its second season, then changed yet again last year. Even the max level you could reach was knocked down from 100 to 60 when the first expansion came out.

For anyone not logging into every season, it probably looks like Blizzard can't figure out what it wants Diablo 4 to be. And while I think there might've been some merit to that early on given the reports about its rocky development, it seems like things have settled now that we're three years out from when it was released.
