One of the speculations prior to BlizzCon 2019 was that Blizzard was planning to announce a Diablo Remaster, but that did not materialise. The company did, however, announce Diablo IV to much celebration from fans following the subdued acceptance of the D2R Items Immortal announcement a year before.
The Schaefer brothers and Brevik developed the original Diablo in their studio Condor located in the city of Condor, that Blizzard acquired shortly before the release of the original Diablo in 1996. Erich Schaefer claimed that the purchase was not a more suitable time as Condor was in financial problems. He noted that the studio was barely making ends meet and was apparently unable to raise enough cash to cover some of its taxes.
"We did not pay our payroll taxes. We withhold taxes from our employees. They're supposed to mail tax receipts to governments. We've never addressed it directly to government officials," Sharon Schaefer of the company said. "We were almost broke. One morning we go in and find a note on our desk that reads "Three days to pay or you'll go to be sent to jail.' It was very rough. It was terrifying. We scrounged up some money (to pay the tax) and luckily the deal that turned us into Blizzard came around right at the right time, which saved our stomachs."
During the panel, Max Schaefer revealed that Condor was signed to release the first Diablo to sell for $300.000. which was "woefully insufficient." The studio, according to him, at the time which was "always at the end of its rope," which was very difficult. There is no doubt that the financial security that an acquisition by Blizzard could offer was appealing to the team. It later went on Diablo as well.
The first buy d2r items outdid all expectations. The Schaefer brothers stated that they envisaged the game selling 20.000 copies and this would be enough for another game. The game sold more copies than that and it helped establish the ARPG genre that is immensely popular nowadays.
