[edit] Diablo III

Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. Sarg 19:16, 23 May 2005 (UTC)

• Delete all articles about vapourware games. — JIP | Talk 19:29, 23 May 2005 (UTC)
• What is the basis for the claim "Work for this game has already started"? If the claim is verifyable via a respectable source then keep the article in some form, if not then the article is pure speculation and should be deleted. Thue | talk 19:32, 23 May 2005 (UTC)
  • There are just rumours, which started because GameSpy has a page (currently a blank page with no info) reserved for the game. I haven't been able to find any verifiable info from a reliable source. Sarg 20:26, 23 May 2005 (UTC)
• Delete: Unreleased product, so anything is speculation. Even if work has started, that doesn't mean that a piece of software is going to appear, much less that anything can be said about it. I'm still waiting for Planescape: Torment 2, after all. Geogre 21:00, 23 May 2005 (UTC)

• I would support the delete were it not for the fact that, in April, a Prague musician reported that he and his orchestra had been recording the background music for D3. It would therefore appear that the 'crystal ball' in this case may be a just-open window. --Simon Cursitor 10:42, 24 May 2005 (UTC)
• Keep as it is a game in development, and will be much-anticipated, and will definitely come. Can be expanded out a lot though. Consider renaming to Diablo III plans. Internodeuser 13:56, 24 May 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Good grief. The article is pointless and uninteresting speculation that could easily be in the Diablo II article if it were worthwhile, which is doubtful. It has not been officially confirmed that Blizzard Entertainment is working on Diablo 3. No article until there's something encyclopedic to report. Quale 21:36, 24 May 2005 (UTC)

• Delete. Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. It is pure speculation at this point and is misleading. Consider change to "Diablo III Rumours" or like if we must have something.kirk2 06:10, 30 May 2005 (UTC)
