Yeah, I'm considering it. I still have original release with LOD expansion. It worked on Windows 7 so maybe it will continue to work on my Windows 10 machine today... but remake is tempting me occasionally, indeed.

That's pity, I was never much onto online diablo experience. I know this is experience that many people buy this game for.. but I liked my own solo rides much better. I saw some scene release of D4 with some fake server check.. but first I think I'm too old to rip games I'm suppose to like, secondly.. I wonder when they turn them down :)
