The Schaefer brothers and Brevik developed the original Diablo

"[Weeventually rebuilt much of it using what was in people's houses," Erich Schreiber said. "I had a big chunk of it. When I got home D2R Items, I pulled out my hard disk or whatever we did back then. After a couple of days, we rebuilt the drive, which ended up operating perfectly, except for the fact that it lost all the historical records. We lost a lot of the assetsand art assets. It would make it very hard for Blizzard to make a Diablo 2 remaster because all our assets are now gone. They'd have to make them completely from scratch."

One of the speculations prior to BlizzCon 2019 was that Blizzard was planning to announce the release of a Diablo Remaster, but that did not materialise. However, the company did announce Diablo IV to much celebration by fans following the lackluster welcome to Diablo Immortal announcement a year prior.

The Schaefer brothers and Brevik developed the original Diablo in their studio Condor located in the city of Condor, that Blizzard purchased shortly before the launch of the original Diablo at the time of its release in. Erich Schaefer said the buyout could not have come at a more suitable time as Condor was in financial trouble. He told me that the studio was barely scraping by, and apparently didn't have enough cash to cover some of its tax obligations.

"We did not pay our payroll taxes Best place to buy D2R items. These are taxes we withhold from the wages of our employees. We're required to send them to the government. We never mailed it towards the authorities," Erich Schaefer told the AP. "We were pretty much in debt. We came in one morning and find a note at the end of our day saying "Three days until you pay or else you'll end up in go to jail.' It was quite a traumatic experience. It was terrifying. We came up with a little money (to pay the taxes) and luckily the deal that turned us into Blizzard was just the right time to save our backs."
