    I put so many hours into D2 growing up, but refused to touch D3 when it rolled around. This summer some old friends tried to get me to jump aboard the D4 train, but for some reason I didn’t feel it. Part of it I think was that I’ve played enough of the genre (D2 & PoE) that I’m kind of not hungry for it anymore, but another big part was definitely because I wouldn’t trust Blizzard with a free lunch.

    Not sure if it makes me happy or sad to see my suspicions weren’t unwarranted.

    Paid gives you mid cosmetics and 666 of their microtransaction tokens. Except the cheapest item in the store is 800 tokens.

    I know this is just textbook mobile game style monetization bullshit and I should desensitized to it by now, but stuff like this still pisses me off.

      D3 has been really fun since reaper of souls, at least for someone like me who hates the trading aspect of arpgs
