There is only so much time in this mortal existence.

You're free to do what you want, but I for one will not be supporting them based on their monetization strategies and anti-consumer practices.

Blizzard just has to be like Larian, release a feature complete singleplayer game with the ability to play multiplayer, it's that easy. No need for battlepasses, or $30 skins, no need for always online drm.

These are terrible business practices born of greed and hubris that need to die.

Do they though? Diablo is the most successful loot crawling aarpg of all time.

If it's all cosmetic and doesn't influence gameplay, why care?

You're free to be okay with being disrespected I guess, but that's not me.

If it’s all cosmetic and doesn’t influence gameplay, why care?

We'll I'm not sure about others. But I appreciate when I spend $60 on a title that I get the complete and full experience "cosmetics" and all. That's just me I guess.

Your take on this subject is frighteningly strange

I don't know how. Anyone with some semblance of self-respect would agree with me. Just check the latest comment it's literally someone saying in all caps "stop buying blizzard products" it isn't madness, there's a reason to it. Blizzard doesn't care about you, they don't respect your time or your wallet. But if you don't understand it, then who am I to argue?
