D4 being far off isn't a surprise. It's clear they had to scramble to work on D4 after that Blizzcon fiasco with Great Value Diablo on mobile and because they were forced to show their hand early, they weren't that far along in development.

earliest late 2023, most likely in 2024.
Nothing will happen this year major game features reveal wise, because there's no blizzcon so they don't have to present anything. 2021 "finished" gameplay and major features, maybe beta. 2022 beta and let the hype train begin. 2022 release date revealed at blizzcon. Either an actual date for 2023 or just "coming soon" or "coming in 2023". Last two will give an easy option to push the release back to 2024.
The longer they can push it back the better for them when it comes to competing with PoE 2. Because lets face it, the more time goes on the more shit PoE becomes. It has been a bloated pile of garbage for last couple of years already. And they are starting to lose players because of it. They can't push back PoE 2 to 2023-2024. It's just not feasible. The whole PoE 2 reveal was directly targeting Diablo 4 announcement but we got Diablo mobile instead. GGG played their hand and kinda got burned and forced into a release window which they thought was gonna be lining up with D4. PoE 2 is gonna be released at least a year earlier than D4

If only they had some sort of data to know what people liked (Diablo 2) and what people were not too happy with (Riftablo 3).

Why does PoE2 need to release at the same time as D4? They may have timed the announcement to compete, but the earlier the release the better.
PoE is creaking under the weight of 7 year old game systems, but I expect the sequel will clean some of that up and GGG release new content which is more than Blizzard does.

This entire genre is creaking under the weight of 25-year old game systems. All paths in an ARPG inevitably lead to the same destination, flying there on autopilot while everything on the screen is autogibbed and the fraction of loot that isn't garbage is autocollected.
Wake me when we land.

My favorite part of the article was the butt licking and dick sucking of Blizzard, where they were trying to hype a 2022 release date lol.
Probably? This needed editorial review.

They "lost" competing with PoE2 two years ago when all they had to reveal was a mobile game. The golden window to relase D4 and have some traction vs PoE2 is in 2022. Will D4 come out in 2022? No way.
Release it much later, like your estimated 2023/24, and they'll compete with a PoE2.5 that I'd bet is already in the concept phase. Just like GGG aligned PoE2 to stand up to D4 two years ago, they'll plan ahead again.

That isn't even a midget bonzai skill tree compared to PoE.
I'm sure they'll create a very accessible game which appeals to a wide audience.
Simply put: a piece of shit

I heard that they're going to remove all phallic weapons and spell animations from the game as a commitment to inclusivity and eliminating gender biases.
