Highly recommended. Diablo actually started 1997. It’ll be 23 years old in Jan 2020. It started as Diablo then to Diablo II then D III then Reaper of Souls. D-IV will likely come out in late 2020 or 2021. In between games there have been many, many reworks. Wonderful game, currently a blast. I’ve played with a 9-year old girl (who had to tell others that she was 16 because nobody believed her), teens and adults. Currently my wife just reached #177 on the hardcore (you die and that’s that—no rebirth) Demon Hunter North American ladder. A great game and greatest if you have multiple players playing (you need multiple computers--I play Windows) together as a team. Suggestion: Join a clan and find others to play with. Thanks to Blizzard’s team. Most do not know it but it’s ergonomically designed to prevent hand/wrist injury (using auto-fire) and accommodates color-blind people. Highly recommended and still NOT a pay-to-play game. You can play softcore or hardcore. Hardcore means that if you die—that’s it. Start over. Seasons (~3 month long) keep the game fresh with various tweaks.

A great read on the history of hyper-inflation. Interestingly Shapiro includes a chapter of how wealth transfer occurred to the very wealthy during the 1970's, the decade after silver was removed from coinage.
