I'd wager the only reason D2 modding is still alive is that it helps drive D2 sales. The second that stops, then poof.
There was a talk like that, i remember Marco saying something about Median having some issues or something which is why he wanted Sigma to be it's own thing. Something around those lines anyway, been a while.
The reason why D2 modding is still alive is actually a lot simpler than you think, D2 is a very good game, people love it, still play it, thus mods are gonna be made. Idk if that's gonna be the case if Blizzard does to D2 the same thing they did with warcraft 3 reforged.
