Then you had games like Red Alert 1 and 2 that gave you 2 discs for the purpose of sharing. Granted each faction disk is missing the other faction's campaign, but still.

- hibikir 11y agoThe spawn feature sold a lot of copies of the game in our computer lab: After hours, the few of us that had the game set up spawn copies for everyone else to play multiplayer. After a couple of sessions, people bought their own copies to play on battle.net and play the campaign. By the end of the semester, a few dozen people bought copies from trying it in the lab. Compare that to diablo 3: When it came out, my wife and I were going to do our traditional play of the campaign, but then we learned that we'd have to buy two copies: $120 quid for playing the campaign once just wasn't cost effective compared to many other games, so we just passed.
- navbaker 11y agoThe cost of Diablo 3 convinced me and my brother to get Torchlight 2 instead. Best $40 we ever spent!
- self_awareness 11y agoWe actually bought two copies, thinking that since they require us to pay that much, it has to be a great game, just like previous Diablo titles. After finishing it I can say that it was a waste of money, we were wrong, and you did the right thing.
