We scrounged up some money, and luckily the deal that turned us into Blizzard came around right at the right time to save our butts."Īlso during the panel, Max Schaefer revealed that Condor signed to make the original Diablo for $300,000, which was "woefully insufficient." He said the studio, at the time, was "always completely out of money," which was very stressful. We come in one morning and there's a notice on our day that's like 'Three days to pay or you're going to jail.' It was rough. We never mailed it to the government," Erich Schaefer said. These are taxes we withhold from the salaries of our guys, and we're supposed to mail them to the government. He recalled that the studio was just scraping by, and apparently didn't have enough money to pay some of its taxes. Erich Schaefer said the buyout couldn't have come at a better time because Condor was in dire financial straits. The Schaefer brothers and Brevik developed the original Diablo at their independent studio, Condor, which Blizzard acquired just before the release of the original Diablo in 1996. The company did, however, announce Diablo IV to much celebration from fans following the tepid reception to the Diablo Immortal announcement a year prior. One of the pre-BlizzCon 2019 rumours was that Blizzard was planning to announce a Diablo II Remaster, but that did not materialise. It would make it very difficult for Blizzard to do a Diablo 2 remaster because all the assets we used are pretty much gone. Spent a few days reconstructing it, which ended up working fine, except that we lost all the history. Went home, pulled out the hard drive or whatever we did back then. " finally rebuilt a lot of it through what people had at their homes," Erich Schaefer said.

However, the root code and assets were apparently lost, which means Blizzard would have a tough time making a Diablo II Remaster today. The team at Blizzard North was thankfully able to reconstruct a lot of the code and assets from the version of Diablo II that developers took home to play. We were supposed to have a backup but neglected it.
