And I got shit for saying gamers should be responsible with their wallets when it comes to all this microtransactions and loot boxes, but then I get told "but its the Devs fault for making a game that encourages gambling, your victim blaming"
While I agree to an extent, there is plenty of gray area with shit like this. Quinn69 is a dumb mfer, but that's the problem with these type of games. They prey after idiots, the naïve, kids/teens, and mainly those with addictive and gambling tendencies. Or those with addictive spending habits. While self responsibility is true, these companies definitely don't help with skinner box manipulation and gambling. Hence why things like this should be banned across the fucking world!

I've only spent 1 IRL dollar for 2 loot boxes in Overwatch all my life and I've never spent anymore then that
You and I are not the target audience. Those with addictions are the true targets. They need honest-to-God help. They need therapy and seek the addiction hotlines. Of course, they have to make that choice and want it.

Now I get why it's called Immortal; because all these controversies are immortal and will never die

A bunch of hackers can skip the grind and make it available to everyone, and I wouldn't blame them.

Designed from the ground up to frustrate and annoy players into paying ever-increasing amounts of money just so they can enjoy the game.

"But why's everyone so mad?" some people ask.

I SERIOUSLY, TRULY, FROM BOTTOM OF MY HEART, hope this is a troll post. Or someone got real lucky and didn't have to spend much.

Or it could be that they are the assholes that's throwing money in Blizz's face

I tried DI and it was just overwhelmingly mediocre. In a crowded PC arpg market, it's only merit is brand recognition, and that didn't even carry me far enough to meet Cain.

The monetization stuff I roll my eyes at. I'm sure it's predatory and gross, they usually are. I'm also sure basically every piece of information in the spotlight right now is inflated hyperbole. For instance the 110k to max gear a character is no doubt the cost to gear exclusively with loot boxes.

Asmongold finds out DI PVP is only open for two hours per day.

This is gonna go exactly the way we're all thinking, isn't it?

Possibly a hold over from its Chinese release. Online multiplayer is restricted to something like two hours daily there. Massive ass blind spot to not remove that for the general release but the game is shit on mouldy toast we’re reliably told so I don’t think we should be totally shocked.

Lets just hope they remain just cosmetics.

And they did mention full expansion dlcs like Lord of Destruction and Reaper of Souls
They wont, they never remain cosmetic. Diablo 4 is gonna be a problem.....damn. They are fully Sith at this point.
