putokia, prior to the launch of D3, Frank Pearce co-founder of Blizzard hinted D3 will cannibalize WoW in interviews. so what's the logic there?
mate, you are losing the plot here. after 10 years of wait and with so much hype, blizzard could have come up with a better game. when you compare D3 with other rpg like dragon age, skyrim and the witcher. d3 is very dated.
from logic point of view, when i play a wizard why do i want to waste points to accumulate my strength every time i level up? it is a no-brainer. i definitely want to boost up my intelligent stat. so customization is not a small details but a significant one.
i did not try to beta. if i did i would not have wasted my game
yes, d3 and sc2 have strong followings. primarily, for multiplayer online gaming. i am not disappointed with this aspect but the single player gaming.
food for thought - mate, spice girls and britney spears had strong followings as well but they are crap
