They're big money makers because people spend thousands. Torchlight is definitely far from the most popular Diablo style games, I'd say it's less popular than the crapfest D3, obviously doesn't even compare to D2/D1or PoE. What else is there in the ARPG genre?
Forcing people to spend thousands (there's a guy who spent $70,000 on PWI), doesn't mean its a good game, it means people are stupid.
your a moron... sorry i dont mean to defend PWE here but....
Torchlight is created by original Diablo 1-2 team!
It is considered by most people to be out right BETTER then D3 in every single way!
It has sold millions of copies world wide, and is still a massive seller!
Torchlight 2 added multi-player into the mix causing even better sales then the first game
Its one of the highest if not the highest grossing indie games on the market
No sorry but torchlight is currently BEST single player ARPG's on the market, it completely destroys D3 in terms of combat speed, ease of play, and is far more diablo like then D3 is. those that hate on torchlight do so because of its differant art style, and lack of a grunge feeling. D3 pretty much RUINED the diablo world... its story was terrible, and its gameplay was lack luster...OH lets not even mention the horrible DRM!
In the case of torchlight you are very very very wrong.

I am sorry, but, out of D3, TL2 POE, TL2 is the worst of the three. It is just a cheesy arcade game(infinite teleports srsly?), good for its price though.

Each of the 100% Success Enchant Ward costs $10. To get Rank 7, then having 4 Rank 6 Enchants costs just $10. Having 16 Rank 5 Enchants costs $50. I don't know the chance of fusing Rank 5 and Rank 6, but fusing Rank 4s has a success rate of 60% so considering that it costs 10 Zen per Preservation Ward (10 for 100 Zen), then it doesn't cost $160 to get Rank 7 enchantments. Anything above 50% or even 25% success rate doesn't require purchasing the 1000 Zen Ward when the 100 Zen Ward is good enough. For $10, I can get 100 Preservation Wards and it is hard to imagine that anything, but the final fusing requires more than 100 chances.

Not sure why everyone thinks they NEED Rk 7 to enjoy this game. You don't. If you want the absolutely best everything then yeah expect to pay some money. Or spend a lot of time farming to buy. I'm not sure how it's different than any other MMO where people spend years farming stuff.

PVP.
For some reason some PVP players don't feel that they can do it unless they have used the latest trendy build with the latest hot special gear. You then hear these same players complain bitterly how some nobody kicked there tail with a crappy build. They forget that gear etc doesn't compensate for player skill and some players just rock at it.
That said in general there is zero NEED for Rank 7 gear. Is it nice? yes but it isn't required to play.
Compare gear full slotted with rank 5 runes crit runes (easy farmable), and same gear with full rank 7 crit runes...like..3% difference? Wooaaaoowww, wasted 600 bucks. Its the color purple that makes people horny enough to waste cash that could be spent on...I dunno, BEER IRL?!

Indeed. I'll just pretend it doesn't exist and continue enjoying my time playing the game.

You keep using that word, I do not think it means what you think it means.
This is an open beta. Start treating it like one.
I'm certain that flopped doesn't mean what she thinks it means. Unless she thinks it means ... Make lots of money.
