They’re taking their upcoming DLC’s name “Vessel of Hatred” too literally.
EnShitification
Isn’t that just when they make it worse when it already has a lot of users?
Right now. Somewhere on Earth. Someone. Is currently purchasing Diablo 4.
And they have to live with the shame.
and Palworld
That’s an excellent analogy, to say “you can buy palworld for that” which really makes it hit different for me.
It shows you how absurd it is, even with it being optional. It’s still absurd.
Better yet. For the price of 2 portal recolors, you can get 1 Baldur’s Gate 3.
Most people could buy palworld if they just cooked their own food instead of ordering.
Pretty silly to start saying this with Diablo really, when we can do the same with so many other products and services as well, Ofc it’s really silly to charge 30 for a digital paintjob. But im not gonna police what other people do with their own money.
They worked for it. They spend it.
Someone could give me a billion for a Booger. Would be their right but would make them an idiot aswell.
Blizzard literally became so shitty I can’t waited for Microsoft to take over and clean house.
MS haven’t bought them to clean them up.
They bought them because they’re already the level of shitty they’re aiming for.
“Clean house” feels optimistic. Standard procedure for a buy out:
- Executives are retained or let go with generous packages
- Middle management is summarily executed
- Someone sorts a spreadsheet of developers by salary and lays off the highest paid (and sometimes best, though no telling when we’re talking about these two garbage fires)
- Remaining developers are shuffled. Some are asked to move to teams that are doing wildly different things than what they were doing before. Some teams are filled with lower cost “resources” from other countries.
I’m glad I played the beta so I knew I wouldn’t be interested in buying the full game.
who needs D4 or their cosmetics? I’m just waiting for Crate to release the new Grim Dawn Expansion, will probably be cheaper than that recolor too lol
I think the issue here is people knew Diablo 4 was filled with monetization, season passes, cosmetic items etc and they bought it anyway and are complaining about it after the fact. The correct way to respond to sleazy companies is to take your business somewhere else. Reward games for being good, not for being cash grabs.
