Blizzard Comments on Guns: fixed link and parenthesis
==Blizzard Comments on Guns==
Fans bring up this issue from time to time, pointing out that other fantasy RPGs (including [[World of Warcraft]] ) have guns, and that the cannon technology isn't radically different or more advanced than some other things in the games. The developers and their spokesmen always disagree. For example, here's [[Bashiok]] in January 2010. [http://diablo.incgamers.com/blog/comments/guns-in-diablo-3-nope/]
::Guns are decidedly scientific, and the Diablo world is decidedly magic (with a lot of impaling people on pikes). Not that guns and magic can’t mix, but when they do it becomes something entirely different. So I don’t think it’s an issue of guns not being fun or just not working, it’s nothing like that. It’s simply a setting and tone issue, and guns would very certainly change it.
