I think the issue here is people knew Diablo 4 was filled with monetization, season passes, cosmetic items etc and they bought it anyway and are complaining about it after the fact. The correct way to respond to sleazy companies is to take your business somewhere else. Reward games for being good, not for being cash grabs.

who needs D4 or their cosmetics? I'm just waiting for Crate to release the new Grim Dawn Expansion, will probably be cheaper than that recolor too lol

Hwhat

An expansion coming?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago

Yes, it's called Fangs of Asterkarn

I think I saw they said there is another update coming. Not sure how much actual content there is though. They specifically noted it's not an expansion / DLC. Just an update.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

Nope, a Full Expansion is in the works!

I bought d4 on sale and I've gotten 110 hours out of it. Idk why I should be upset about some optional cosmetics that I'm never gonna buy.

And the whole world is just like you! Right? Impossible that somebody could be or think different.

You sound like a person who doesn’t have a problem with drinking that can’t comprehend alcoholism.

I'm just sharing my opinion lol

"You're not allowed to enjoy that! HOW DARE YOU HAVE FUN"

I went to buy a Goal Explosion in Rocket League yesterday. Purely cosmetic item. $25. No thanks.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 9 months ago

They're taking their upcoming DLC's name "Vessel of Hatred" too literally.

I'm glad I played the beta so I knew I wouldn't be interested in buying the full game.
