Such a scenario is so implausible and absurd that it made me chuckle.

The turn-based-only "I ❤️ slow combat" crew would obviously love that, but Diablo would fans would hate it and revolt. Rightly so too.

Not to mention that a turn-based game could never sell over 30 million copies like Diablo 3 did. A turn-based has not and never will come even close to such figures.

Bonus trivia: Diablo was originally a turn-based RPG, but the developers adopted a realtime combat system rather late in development. horsey

Pokémon is turn-based and sold over 30 million. Just saying, a game can definitely be turn-based and sell well. I would argue instead that games such as Fallout 1, 2, Tactics, POE, DOS, etc. are more niche in general.
