Perhaps I misunderstood the purpose of community managers, I wouldn’t be surprised if that was indeed the case, but comparing Blizzard’s upcoming Diablo 3 to a new M. Night Shyamalan movie of unknown worth doesn’t strike me as very evangelical — the other evangelical, silly.

“On a more serious note, I too worry that we won’t be able to meet the expectations people have built up for themselves. Part of my job is managing people’s expectations, so… eh… stop it. Stop thinking about how awesome this game could be. Just imagine it’s a new M. Night Shyamalan movie. Sure Sixth Sense was amazing and Unbreakable had it’s moments, but this right here is the sequel to The Village … or The Happening … or Signs … or any of the movies besides the two I first mentioned. So just like, lower those expectations, but still definitely buy the game please, and everything will be just fine. K?” -Bashiok
