Blizzard acquires Diablo3.com

Posted May 1, 2008 at 10:02AM by QJ Staff Listed in: News, Titles, Genre Tags: Blizzard

Remember when Blizzard surprised the gaming community with StarCraft 2? Well, we at QJ.NET have learned our lesson and have been keeping tabs on all of Blizzard's movements to the best of our ability. The latest news is that Blizzard has acquired the Diablo3.com domain.

This news was announced by the former webmaster of Diablo3.com. He said that Blizzard was going to be taking over and that they are "being really cool about it." It makes one wonder how much cash Blizzard coughed up to get the domain name.

Were going to go out on a limb by saying that perhaps the company is gearing up for Diablo 3. Although knowing Blizzard, we might not see the game for another two years or so. Still, we're hoping that they've been developing the game under wraps and will pull another StarCraft 2 on us.

"Some gaming news sites are reporting that Blizzard "purchased" the diablo3.com domain from me. This is not the case. As I stated in the above post, if it was my intention to make a profit off of the domain, I could've sold it years ago, but I didn't. When Blizzard spoke to me about their interest in the domain, I was happy to give it to them since they had no problems with us moving the site to diablofans.com and will now be working more closely with us in the future. So yeah, I just wanted to clear that up... there is no monetary exchange taking place, I'm simply giving Blizzard the diablo3 domain."
