Older games like Diablo were not engineered to maximize Day 1 / 7 / 28 retention rates. All mobile games today optimize for those metrics.

Diablo was much more of a slot machine than Fortnite is imo. Neither come close to being as much of a slot machine as watching a baseball game as a fan. Or participating in fishing.

That didn't stop people from playing it 28 days straight.
