It seems as though Sony's PS Stars loyalty programme, which grants points for purchases and digital goodies for completing goals, has very much been off the radar for most.

News Diablo 4's Campaign Can Be Skipped Once It's Completed
Additional characters can ignore the story
Over the last few weeks, we've seen some Diablo fans wondering how having multiple characters will work in Diablo 4.

DIY deathtraps
The concept of user-generated content has been around for quite a while at this point. If a game can sustain itself based on the input of its own community, well, that's a win-win, right?
