In a recent interview, Blizzard Entertainment co-founder Max Schaefer (Brevik is his nickname), expressed his thoughts about RPGs in general. He noted that they have increasingly focused on allowing players to swiftly eliminate large numbers of enemies across various areas. Brevik explained this rapid killing leads to more loot, leveling up, and exploration. However, he finds the experience of quickly annihilating screens filled with insignificant items unappealing and somewhat absurd.
Although Brevik did not explicitly mention Diablo 4 or Path of Exile 2, his remarks have sparked discussions online and are likely to inspire numerous YouTube videos given his prominence in the gaming community. Despite not directly referencing any specific future games, fans on both sides are paying close attention to his comments.
