This is plain irrational, people are buying this game at a faster pace than ever despite this shit costing 70$, but still charging up to 28$ for one single cosmetic set exclusive to a fucking cash shop, plus a fucking battle-pass. I’ve never been a fan of the series in fact I never played Diablo III so I can’t relate but still, Blizzard got into the brain of their clients with this shit it’s just fucked up. It’s not rational, consumerism at this level can’t just be a trick that is played on their brains by clever marketing teams, it’s deeper than that. People are being broken, their wits have been altered. There is something about impulse control that was removed from their abilities. No ableism intended, people with disorders need respect and care. I think that capitalism is responsible for damaging people mentally, those people are victims and need help.
End of rant.
I tried the demo/beta. My session lasted for a total of ten seconds. When I realised that the game was “lagging” even though I was playing completely solo and that there is no option to play offline like a normal human being with bad internet, I had to peace out.
I tried Diablo 2: Resurrected once. It is also always online but cs.rin had a crack so I thought it would be a decent game to just leave and forget on the steam deck and play once in a while. Turns out the game is about 40GB in size. As I did not enjoy the game I had to remove it to save space.
Yeah I really hate the whole forcing people to play online shit it’s just vicious
