They announced that D3 was going console at GamesCom 2011.... Is it that surprising that they said they were going to release something then actually do it?????
Hoping console version has GAH/RMAH and that the console and PC worlds are linked.... Would be awesome... lol
Well after reading through the official press release.... Based on available play styles and features it's probably a safe assumption that the console and PC worlds are not going to be linked....
The Diablo 1/2 PC fan in me: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! YOU KILL IT!, YOU BASTARDS!
The Diablo 3 botter in me: If there is a linked RMAH I am back in business and will be excepting a much higher earnings reports for the following year.
or "MONEY MONEY MONEY, MONEY!!!"
EDIT:
If the RMAH isn't linked, there is always console botting =D
Sony would never allow a linked GAH/RMAH unless they can get a greater fee/tax cut from Blizzard's share. Imagine now Blizzard takes a complex (15% + 15%) tax/fee, Sony will be asking for at least more than that.
Most likely they will either have their own PS GAH/RMAH or none at all which is not cool. But who in the right mind will buy D3 for PS3/4?
