So, with the announcement of Diablo III for PS3 and PS4, it turns out that Blizzard, despite claiming it couldn't be done, will be adding offline play for the consoles.  The interview between Geoff Keighley, John Hight (from Sony) and Chris Metzen (for Blizzard) for GameTrailers, can be seen in entirety below.

The forums are, as you can imagine, full of very upset players who bought the PCs version and are still forced to be online in order to play, and still waiting for multiple issues to be resolved.

It'll be interesting to see if Blizzard decide to patch the PC version to allow offline play.  Sadly I get the impression it's unlikely...
