*NSFW if Unicorns crapping rainbows is the kind of thing your employer frowns on*
I think the criticisms on Diablo III's art style are as silly as Blizzard does (it looks fantastic IMO), and they take it with great humor...
You may remember the huge controversy surrounding the new art direction of “Diablo 3″ that we covered extensively last summer.
And when we attended BlizzCon 2008 in October, it was clear that Blizzard employees — like executive vice president Rob Pardo — had a sense of humor about the whole thing as he wore a staff-made “Diablo 3″ T-shirt featuring ponies, sunshine and rainbows.
Late last week on the Battle.net forums, fans joked about how the new Cow Level should be the “Unicorn and Rainbow Level” and how the Thousand Pounder (the large boss seen in gameplay) should wear the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man hat. In response, Blizzard poster Bashiok (a.k.a. Micah, the game’s community manager) linked to two altered screenshots.

Really looking forward to this game, BTW. Blizzard makes games with quality and polish that most other developers seem to have given up on these days. Plus, you know, the Mac support helps too.
