It's like that COD MW2 boycott on steam back in 2009. This is why things are the way they are, people will pay if they are entertained.

I never really described myself as a Gamer, but I wouldn't deny it if someone called me one. Blizzard fans have made me describe myself as someone who plays games, but is not a Gamer(tm).
I think the only "AAA" thing I'll consider is the next Doom game, but fuck preordering. Dark Ages actually looks slow compared to what I look for now anyway.
they don't even need to make a good game anymore eh? just skinner box their way to the top?
The game is pretty good as of now. Not great. Not something I'll play for a long time. But def solid 30+ hours of action RPG.
And absolutely not something where I'd spend any money on a fucking hat for my character.
I don't understand. I play Diablo 4 all of the time and I've never had a microtransaction. I've had a macro one because that game cost like $70 when I bought it, but nothing after that. Why do people do that?
My coworker plays those F2P games on her phone and she has shared that she's felt guilty that she played this game for like 500 hours and haven't spent anything, and considers throwing them $5-10 bucks a month.
She's also the kind of person who has like 8 tv subscriptions.
Hmmm, yeah I don't feel that way, for sure.
Also my game is on in the PC. Not sure if that makes a difference.
I've never even noticed another player's skin. Who are they showing off for?
Who knows... I think all the ones you can buy are ugly while the free ones from seasons are pretty cool. Would never buy anyway if they changed that but I am happy as it is now.
Agreed.

Fucking
Stupid
It so often boils down to that, doesn't it?
It always boils down to that.
Remember blizzard is microsoft
It's also Activision! And sex pests!
And? Microtransactions were already standard for Blizzard a long time ago before Microsoft showed up.
So it worked and they'll keep doing it because people keep paying.
