Eli5: How do games like diablo 3 stay online without subscriptions and/or microtransactions?

163 views

Diablo 3 is on it’s 28th season so there’s clearly a team that’s developing new content for it and maintaining the servers. Are game sales alone really enough to keep it profitable? Or am I missing something else?

everything is handled locally, the servers are just authentication and friend list. the server load is low so there a no excessive resource consumption even Diablo II from the 2000 still online.
