D3 has had a strange life. I think it's still a great casual Diablo game, but it totally lacks the depth that other titles in the genre (Path of Exile, Last Epoch, even Grim Dawn) offer, and has some very degenerate systems like paragon points and legendary effect scaling that make the game unbelievably boring for more serious/committed players. You basically get all of your endgame gear within 8 hours of starting a new season, and then there's nothing to do but push slight stat increases on the same items or with paragon points or gems. The game totally plays itself. There was a time around the Reaper of Souls prepatch where the game could have been reworked into something actually quite good, and that just never came. Coupled with a multi-year content drought up against massive PoE leagues every 3 months, it's just a tough sell.
