The launch of Blizzard's hotly anticipated skeleton clicking simulator Diablo III hasn't been so smooth, as a matter of fact, one could say it has been absolute hell (see what I did there? Diablo? Hell?). From people not being able to play the game at all due to sever overload, server issues, and server maintenance, things haven't been going swimmingly, and many paying customers have barely been able to play their game-- even in single player thanks to Blizzard's bone-headed decision to require players to be constantly connected to the internet. Thought those were the only problems? Not anymore, now there's a new one.
Hackers have hit the world of Diablo 3. They are looting players' accounts of both gold and items, leaving your poor Witch Doctor or Barbarian stripped and penniless. Also, since the game has that pesky "always online" thing going on, not even your single player loot is safe. There's only speculation on how the hackers have managed to bust into Battle.net, but the folksat Blizzard say they're working on it. Diablo III's life so far has been a rough one, but hopefully it manages to work through all its online related issues (and hopefully Blizzard goes back on its stupid "always online" DRM policy so single player gamers don't have to deal with multiplayer game problems).
