The problem with Diablo 4 and its "macrotransactions"

L1ghtz4lyfe6m ago

I was beyond excited when I heard we were finally getting Diablo 4. Then beyond sad when I realized it is only Diablo in name. I loved D2, and although many weren’t fans of D3, it was immeasurably better than this. Ya’ll kept saying “it’s only a 1$” then it was “it’s only 5$” then “ its…….”. Whatever this ride is, I want off. People are out here talking mad trash about Nintendo and games like Legend of Zelda looking dated, but at least people are getting a COMPLETE product. It’s obvious that the gaming base has officially split. The new generation doesn’t remember what the 90s and early 2000’s looked like. You used to walk into a store and slap xx amount of money on the table and that was it, it was yours, period. Didn’t have the worry about a digital library being shut off, didn’t have to worry about day one patches. If a game was broken, it failed. If a company didn’t deliver, it failed. If people were unsatisfied, it failed. But so many of these lemmings have said “it’s fine” for so long that you’ve created a new standard. Congratulations. I hope the morons screaming about this being an issue aren’t the same ones booting the game up right after they sign off, because the irony would not only be unreal but completely lost on them. FOMO has become an addiction to the masses and y’all out here like diabetics drinking sweet tea with the meme of the dog in the burning building. “This is fine”.
