They could have just made a Diablo or StarCraft universe MMO

It's really not that simple. An analogue in software would be "Ford could have just made a fully self-driving car."

MMOs are both technically hard and artistically hard, and even Blizzard has failed at making them in the past:

Maybe on release, but it's very difficult to make an MMO that people will keep paying for month after month.


Maybe nostalgic folks over 30.
