Doesn't this dude still buy all their products? You can b***h and moan at Blizzard all you want but it doesn't really do anything when you're sticking money into their pockets while you complain.
It's not about the price itself, it's the value. Games with a brand nowadays charge 20$ for a skin, and that money can buy you an entire indie game that's much for of an actual positive experience. People are in the right to complain.
>Games with a brand nowadays charge 20$ for a skin
Yup. Blizzard is great for that because they went and took their previously freely available skins for Overwatch, deleted Overwatch, and then proceeded to sell them in "Overwatch 2" for 20 buckeroons. Skins being unlockables in games used to be the standard and now a single skin costs the price of a new game.
And there could be an argument for cosmetics being optional, but come the frick on, even paying a modest sum doesn't get you much, and newer games don't even let you earn currency by playing. The cosmetics you can grind for are made purposely bad in an attempt to manipulate you into paying.
This isn't even a limitation of dev time, for example warframe lets you buy entire palettes of colors you can apply to parts of your armor and weapons, for a decent sum. I'm certain the pricing in f2p games is set for optimal whale hunting.
How the frick does a battlepass even work in a full-price ARPG? Can't be just for cosmetics, right? Are they going to put skills or entire classes behind it?
>the people who bought a remastered version of a complete finished game are to blame for the sequel to be fully priced live service game.
Explain your side.
Is D4 going to be as good as D3?
That's a copy of the overwatch2 system though.
we need him back

he was streaming their games, so yes, he does
>4 days early access
>battle pass to skip content
Seems more like something to pin on the Diablo Immortal crowd.
Frick that I’ll just play one or two three was ok
They learned from Immortal that the worse they make the progression system, the more moronic whales is going to flock to the game.
is this an admission that the content will be shit?
BUT ITS ONLY COSMETICSSSSSSS
I guarantee that this game will be more similar to diablo 3 than diablo 2 and will therefore die within months.
according to a friend of mine all the skills are copy pasted from D3 but now you gotta use skill points to get them. put me right off.
but i like diablo 2
