I really don't see a point in Ruthless anymore.
The people who developed and cared for that mode are no longer at the company and imo it was only a testing ground for PoE2 anyways, which now is in a playable state.
Hopefully they just shut it down at some point, instead of letting it wither away with each new patch.

To add to that Hellgate London from original Blizzard North failed pretty badly. Torchlight 2 also didn't take off. TL2 wasn't bad but just didn't flourish because times changed.
To add to the other guy who talked about TL2....Hellgate London was a brilliant game. It failed because of OTHER issues outside of the actual gameplay, such as lack of funding / company going bankrupt mid-development / persistent graphical issues / unfixed bugs / etc. The reasons behind Hellgate: London's downfall were almost all entirely out of the control of the actual Blizzard North idea-men and base game quality.
Really not a good example here....

I agree, I really enjoyed TL2 and Hellgate:London back in the day. Hellgate definitely had potential, but one could easily spot problems during development. It was a sad afair in the end.

They spend more resources ordering lunch for the office than resources spent on ruthless. Ruthless isn't the boogieman most want it to be. Especially with Chris gone.
