That wasn't the straw that broke the camels back, however. What's been alluded to in interviews was that there was a D3 already made by Blizzard North shortly after the D2 releases... they submitted it to HQ and they were not impressed (I think unoriginal and boring came to mind), and shortly thereafter BN got the axe.

Right, I didn't say that it was what caused the problem, but it was all happening about the same time. I had joined shortly after the whole issue with BN thus I didn't know the details, only heard one side of the story. A lot of bitching about coding; in fact they refused to touch anything that wasn't necessary to fix issues.
