A movie called Diablo (which was changed to 'A Man Apart') , had to change it's name as Blizzard screamed bloody murder because they said they might want to do a movie in the future, so they believed they owned the rights to the name Diablo relative to a movie ...
I've lost alot of respect for the way Blizzard from the way they have handled SEVERAL situations, so much so that I may not support any further products from them despite the fact that I absolutely loved D1,D2 and SC.
I have to give Verant/Sony big kudos for at least tolerating this project, and not using those strong arm tactics towards us. Either it shows that they aren't paying attention, don't care, or have decided to support our goofing off by not getting involved.
Im glad you called Blizzard though, it was probably a wise thing to do. I love the idea, but as you can see from the past, Bli$$ard doesn't tolerate any competition....
