So to recap then – last week, original Diablo series creator David Brevik said some things about Diablo III<\/a>, then Diablo III designer Jay Wilson said some things about David Brevik<\/a>, then everybody on the internet said things about the things Brevik and Wilson said, and now Wilson has said he’s sorry for the things he said before.<\/p>\n

In a special message over on Battle.net<\/a>, Wilson apologised for his comments and described Brevik as an “awesome” person:<\/p>\n

I recently made a comment on Facebook about Dave Brevik. I want to make it clear that I am very sorry for what I said. I have higher expectations for myself than to express my feelings in such a rash way and disrespect a fellow developer like Dave, someone who deserves to be treated with greater respect.<\/p>\n

What I said was expressed out of anger, and in defense of my team and the game. People can say what they want about me, but I don\u2019t take lightly when they disparage the commitment and passion of the Diablo III team.<\/p>\n

Dave is awesome. In Diablo and Diablo II, he made two of the games that have most affected me as a developer. I respect his vision for Diablo, but just like he said in his interview, the Diablo III team must drive a vision for the game that is true to us. We believe in Diablo and have stuck by it through years of hard development to make it a reality.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Awww. Barney’s over, people.<\/p>\n

Wilson also took the opportunity to admit that, okay, maybe Diablo III isn’t totally perfect. He went on to address a number of problems in the game – including controversial item drops, difficulty, the Auction House, and the “variety of things to do” – promising that the team has “no illusion that our work is done”.<\/p>\n

A game update earlier this week added 100 new Paragon levels to the game, for those players who’d hit the level 60 cap.<\/p>\n
