I’ve had a few critical things to say about the game’s always-online requirement and its inclusion of a Real Money Auction House, but overall I’ve found the game experience itself quite a bit of fun as far as top-down button-mashers go. To be fair, I’m more interested in action-RPGs of the Dark Souls and Dragon’s Dogma variety, but for a bit of guilty-pleasure-gaming, Diablo III does the trick.

The latest complaint surfacing around the game in various forums and on reddit, is that gamers playing on Linux using Wine to run the game are being banned for no reason and not having their purchase refunded to them.
