        I don’t get the joke

        That’s because it’s not funny. It’s just self-righteous nonsense.

          i mean, not that self righteous nor nonsense when the joke is literally a large portion of us are aware that blizzard is a shite corrupt company with shite corrupt money grab tactics, specializing in hyping shit up and then letting people down while not giving a fuck.

          better still, people just shell out that money to be let down time and time again, and lo, the complaints will start, the articles get fired up, and we have nice again enter into the blizzard cycle of of disappointment.

          i put them on fucking watch with the shit they were doing for cataclysm. diablo 3 had a strong start but was overall meh.

          overwatch was good for a time, then went to shit. they made change after change and it eventually became largely meaningless.

          overwatch 2 is a joke. diablo mobile was a super obvious money grab.

          and now tadaaaaaa diablo, and tadaaa lackluster promises and pay traps.

          and people removed about it.

          and then articles getting written about it.

          the circle of blizzard life.

            No, your “joke” was about people throwing away money on a bad game while you laughed because of how much smarter you are that you didn’t buy. Everything about that is self-righteous, and nothing about how shitty Blizzard is as a company. They’re internal politics and subsequent lawsuit are evident to everyone, not just a LaRgE pOrTiOn oF Us. But guess what, they still put out games that millions enjoy. And waaay more people like d4 than don’t. Its a fun game. And nothing is locked behind pay walls. Nothing about it is a CorRuPt MoNeY GrAb; any money spent is purely on cosmetics and is 100% optional

            better still, people just shell out that money to be let down time and time again, and lo, the complaints will start, the articles get fired up, and we have nice again enter into the blizzard cycle of of disappointment.

            Again, that’s your weird take. Plenty of people like their games.

            i put them on fucking watch

            You’re an absurd almost cartoon like character

            with the shit they were doing for cataclysm.

            I played Cata. It was probably their worst expansion, but I can’t recall anything that warranted keyboard warriors to be put on watch lol

            diablo 3 had a strong start but was overall meh.

            Are you playing these have from a parallel universe?? D3 start was abysmal! From shitty servers, to that horribly ill thought out real money auction house, to just poor decision after poor decision being implemented, to the whole comminity calling for Jay Wilson’s head. That game got remarkably better years later after both Jay and that shitty AH were removed

            diablo mobile was a super obvious money grab.

            Yes. Embarrassingly so.

            and now tadaaaaaa diablo, and tadaaa lackluster promises and pay traps.

            What pay traps? You’re just taking out of your ass

            and people removed about it.

            People removed about everything. Look at you lol. Your whole take is warped, and you’re just trying to defend your “I’m smarter than everyone else” comment. Blizz has a track record of putting out good games, and fixing issues to bad roll outs, most everything they produce is available to all players, charging only for games, subs, and cosmetics. Not pay to win, no loot boxes, no gambling. (Minus that shit mobile game). And all your removed and you havent even played it- just feeding off the negativity you can scrape from the internet

        A/B is known for predatory actions towards players.

          They aren’t any more predatory than any other big game firm, and far less than others like EA.

          AB is known for being a shit place to work, hostile work environments, low pay, and a multitude of sexual harassment suits. They’re a shit company.

        It’s not a joke, it’s a self righteous rant by someone who likes to think they’re better than you because they don’t like popular thing.

      It was… A genuinely good game? Which surprised me.(I bought it after people were recommending it)

      Then the patch hit. Then the season hit with terrible cosmetics and a coupon for your next purchase.

      I still had fun with the campaign so I don’t regret it. But I definitely can’t recommend the game anymore.

      Big fan, been co-oping with my best friend just like we did with D3 and D2. And I feel no need to buy any of the cosmetics or passes, and we’re having a blast every night. That’s silly to you, lol?? Cool cool cool.

        I’ve been playing and enjoying immensely. I would have been interested in buying a skin for my rogue but they never had anything I liked. They just put one out that is actually cool but when I looked how much real money it would cost…I just closed out the store and will probably never buy anything. $25. Twenty five whole dollars just for one skin for one character. No.

        Yeah. After almost avoiding the game due to knowing it had passes and MTX, I’m surprised at how little the game has pushed them. I’ve put in about 50 hours and there’s plenty of content I still have to go. People just like to feel superior because they don’t like popular thing. Hipsters will always hipster.

        This is exactly my stance… minus playing with your best friend. Mind throwing me an invite?

      Why, for my seventy quid I’ve already had over fifty hours of fun gameplay with plenty of content left to go. I haven’t even felt remotely like the game was funnelling me to spend more at any point either.

      Some games handle MTX and Battlepasses terribly. This isn’t one of them.
