What's really terrifying about Diablo 3 is that it's the most in-piratable solo game yet. I think that most of the logic is server-side. So if Blizzard decides to pull the plug, you have no choice but to reimplement the whole server-side. Fortunately, Blizzard seems much more serious about the follow-up of their games than EA ever was (consider that Warcraft 3 patches are still being put out). Still, even Blizzard could not avoid server problems at launch.
