Blizzard Rejects Petition to Change Diablo 3

Proving that some people are only happy when they're unhappy, a petition was put online immediately after the initial showing of Diablo 3 asking devs to change the overall tone of the game to a darker one. Fifty-two thousand signatures later, Blizzard said, "Forget it." Diablo 3's lead designer Jay Wilson told MTV that devs are happy with the game as is:

Lead "Diablo III" designer Jay Wilson told me that even though 52,000 "Diablo" fans have signed a petition asking Blizzard to return to the darker, more gothic look of the old "Diablo" games, the new, vibrant art style is here to stay.

This is how he put it:

"There's no going back now," he said during an interview in a Manhattan hotel where Blizzard was showcasing their newest games. "We're very happy with how the art style is. The art team's happy. The company's happy. We really like this art style, and we're not changing it."

So....what's next to complain about? *grins*
