Why did you buy a Blizzard game in 2023? - eviltoast

I keep hearing my friends complain about the status of the servers. I’m just still dumbfounded that people heard it was essentially online single player and bought this anyway.

They killed Warcraft III They killed Overwatch

Why is blizzard going to pick up the ball on D4? Genuine question, no hate.

    I’ll be fair and admit that Blizzard still makes great games, but their monetization model and business practices are some of the vilest in the history of gaming, and I will no longer support them because of this.

      Diablo IV is actually cheaper than Diablo II was if you consider inflation. No idea what everyone is on about. Even Nintendo 64 games cost just a little bit less than what Diablo IV was priced on launch. And when did the N64 release? Game ain’t as expensive as people make out.

    I bought D4 because I had bonus points that could be converted into PayPal, so it cost me nothing.

    I’ve been playing it pretty casually and I must say I’m not very impressed. I think D3 is better.

    I believe it has a lot of potential but it shouldn’t be a $70 to $100 game with a battlepass and mtx.
