## Resource

Diablo used to be chaos—PvP ambushes, hacked gear, and collecting ears like trophies. Now it’s seasons, systems, and a whole lot of structure. In this episode of Geeks From The Multiverse, we break down the Diablo franchise from its brutal early days to modern live-service design. Expect blunt, slightly unhinged takes, a mix of nostalgia and criticism, and the real question—did Diablo evolve… or lose what made it dangerous? 👍 If you’re listening on YouTube, jam that like button and subscribe so you don’t miss future episodes. 🎧 Find the show and our content here: www.geeksfromthemultiverse.com #GeeksFromTheMultiverse #Podcast #GeekCulture #NewEpisode #Gaming
