While the development team at Blizzard are working around the clock to resolve the issues, it&rsquo;s becoming hard for Diablo players to remain committed to playing the game.<\/p>\n<p>One Reddit user shared a story online on their grandfather&rsquo;s journey back to playing Diablo II. However, they also shared how their grandfather injured himself while playing Diablo II: Resurrected yet continues to slay demons instead of resting.<\/p>\n<h2>Grandfather returns to Diablo II after a 20-year break<\/h2>\n<p>Redditor Chrompower shared on the Diablo subreddit a story about their grandfather&#8217;s unrelenting dedication to playing Diablo II: Resurrected. They also included that their grandfather started playing again following a 20-year hiatus from the game.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" id=\"reddit-embed\" style=\"border: none;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.redditmedia.com\/r\/Diablo\/comments\/qfoihy\/the_story_of_my_87yearold_grandfather_who_plays\/?ref_source=embed&amp;ref=share&amp;embed=true\" width=\"640\" height=\"823\" scrolling=\"no\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;He started playing with Diablo II back in 2000, and he was instantly amazed by the game.

That changed with the announcement of Diablo II: Resurrected.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">The Dark Lord is almost here.<\/p>\n<p>Learn all you need to know to prepare for his arrival.<\/p>\n<p>&#128220; <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/51fiQzguBB\">https:\/\/t.co\/51fiQzguBB<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/ZHKVsj7MV7\">pic.twitter.com\/ZHKVsj7MV7<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Diablo (@Diablo) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Diablo\/status\/1440385340615774220?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 21, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&ldquo;After he heard about D2:R, he was so excited and happy about it.

She now works full-time with GINX and can often be found exploring the worlds of Palia,&nbsp; Conan Exiles, Elder Scrolls Online, and Elden Ring while trying to reach Infinite rank in Marvel Snap. Whilst she has seen improvements at farming in Stardew Valley (much thanks to Palia), Ashleigh more than makes up for it by being a decent Blastoise trainer in Pokemon GO. While her gaming adventures take her to unique locations, she actively enjoys following trending stories within the Entertainment industry, just don't ask why her Letterboxd hasn't seen an entry in a while. If you manage to catch Ash in between playing games and watching Marvel or Star Wars shows, you can forward any gaming and entertainment news, tips, and tricks to her via email or on social media.","url":"https:\/\/www.ginx.tv\/en\/author\/ashleigh-klein"}]}},"modified_by":null,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ginx.tv\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23857","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ginx.tv\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ginx.tv\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ginx.tv\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/12188"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ginx.tv\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=23857"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.ginx.tv\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23857\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ginx.tv\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/23858"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ginx.tv\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=23857"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ginx.tv\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=23857"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
