    It’s the first diablo game I’ve ever played and I had a blast with it. I don’t get the joke

      I don’t get the joke

      That’s because it’s not funny. It’s just self-righteous nonsense.

        i mean, not that self righteous nor nonsense when the joke is literally a large portion of us are aware that blizzard is a shite corrupt company with shite corrupt money grab tactics, specializing in hyping shit up and then letting people down while not giving a fuck.

        better still, people just shell out that money to be let down time and time again, and lo, the complaints will start, the articles get fired up, and we have nice again enter into the blizzard cycle of of disappointment.

        i put them on fucking watch with the shit they were doing for cataclysm. diablo 3 had a strong start but was overall meh.

        overwatch was good for a time, then went to shit. they made change after change and it eventually became largely meaningless.

        overwatch 2 is a joke. diablo mobile was a super obvious money grab.

        and now tadaaaaaa diablo, and tadaaa lackluster promises and pay traps.

        and people bitching about it.

        and then articles getting written about it.

        the circle of blizzard life.

          No, your “joke” was about people throwing away money on a bad game while you laughed because of how much smarter you are that you didn’t buy. Everything about that is self-righteous, and nothing about how shitty Blizzard is as a company. They’re internal politics and subsequent lawsuit are evident to everyone, not just a LaRgE pOrTiOn oF Us. But guess what, they still put out games that millions enjoy. And waaay more people like d4 than don’t. Its a fun game. And nothing is locked behind pay walls. Nothing about it is a CorRuPt MoNeY GrAb; any money spent is purely on cosmetics and is 100% optional

          better still, people just shell out that money to be let down time and time again, and lo, the complaints will start, the articles get fired up, and we have nice again enter into the blizzard cycle of of disappointment.

          Again, that’s your weird take. Plenty of people like their games.

          i put them on fucking watch

          You’re an absurd almost cartoon like character

          with the shit they were doing for cataclysm.

          I played Cata. It was probably their worst expansion, but I can’t recall anything that warranted keyboard warriors to be put on watch lol

          diablo 3 had a strong start but was overall meh.

          Are you playing these games from a parallel universe?? D3 start was abysmal! From shitty servers, to that horribly ill thought out real money auction house, to just poor decision after poor decision being implemented, to the whole comminity calling for Jay Wilson’s head. That game got remarkably better years later after both Jay and that shitty AH were removed

          diablo mobile was a super obvious money grab.

          Yes. Embarrassingly so.

          and now tadaaaaaa diablo, and tadaaa lackluster promises and pay traps.

          What pay traps? You’re just taking out of your ass

          and people bitching about it.

          People bitch about everything. Look at you lol. Your whole take is warped, and you’re just trying to defend your “I’m smarter than everyone else” comment. Blizz has a track record of putting out good games, and fixing issues to bad roll outs, most everything they produce is available to all players, charging only for games, subs, and cosmetics. Not pay to win, no loot boxes, no gambling. (Minus that shit mobile game). And all your bitching and you havent even played it- just feeding off the negativity you can scrape from the internet

        They aren’t any more predatory than any other big game firm, and far less than others like EA.

        AB is known for being a shit place to work, hostile work environments, low pay, and a multitude of sexual harassment suits. They’re a shit company.

        That’s capitalism for you. Doesn’t stop the Diablo games from being a lot of fun.

      It’s not a joke, it’s a self righteous rant by someone who likes to think they’re better than you because they don’t like popular thing.
