When I grow up, I hope to be as smart as you.

Here's the thing though. The vast majority of people who will play Diablo 3 don't want to assign individual points to stats. What you find enjoyable, an average game will find to be a boring, needlessly complicated activity.
Sure, it's restricting your choices. In the same way as not being able to freely choose and modify every single stat on all the items is restricting. I'm sure some people (like you) would like that but that doesn't mean it's a good design decision. If you give the player too much choice, most people will end up making a whole lot of wrong choices and end up with a character that is not viable for later parts of the game, which is what happened to me when I first played D2. But more importantly, it's boring. Maybe not to you, and not to other hardcore Diablo fans. But you have to look at the bigger picture here.

Plus, it's not like there isn't enough customization in the game. In fact, things like the new talent system, runes, followers, artisans, etc. is customization at its finest.

@Copybass Ah jeez zombies
Ugh, drop the act. You pirate games. CD Projekt spoke out against pirates. Now you're hurt and you hate the company.
Am I assuming too much? In that case, feel free to deny everything.

At first I was sad that Justin, Griffin and Chris left but then I found out that Luddy would be taking over Chris' duties and I immediately felt better. I think joystiq will be alright.

Farewell Chris, you will be missed.

That's not . . . wait, what?

It feels to me like some sort of placeholder value that somebody put it and then totally forgot to change before the release.
- "How long should I make the ban duration?"
- "I don't know man, just make it something huge, like 5000! We'll figure it out later."
- "Herp derp"

Geez, didn't see that one coming. Next thing you know we'll have Angry Birds on Vita as well.

Meh, that's all well and good. Except, BF3 is a really good game. I don't care that it was published by EA. I'm not going to deprive myself of the enjoyment of playing that game just to stand up to some big corporation.
It's like when people refused to buy SC2 because it had no LAN support as a sign of protest to Blizzard. All I can say is they missed out on a great game and made absolutely no difference in the world.

@ColorblindMonk
Except you can't buy BF3 on Steam.
