    It’s already too late. The time for us to shut this shit down was Diablo 4. Now that Blizzard knows their fanbase of rubes will pay extra for a headstart, expect to see this as the norm for all future releases.

      I’m at Disneyland with my family RN and we mainly came because this week was insanely cheap for hotels. My hotel basically touches the convention center and there is almost no one here for blizzcon. It’s dying.

      The conversations I’ve overheard are so sad. They all justify simping for blizzard like addicts. So much random misogyny too.

      I used to love blizzard games but just the people I’ve listened to concern me.

      It started long before. I remember boycotting d3 when the auction house came out and i stopped wow a decade ago because you are paying monthly for a savegame plus microtransactions.

      I can buy way better indie games for that price or keep playing guild wars 2 which has no sub.

        D4 was the first of their games to charge extra for early access by attaching it to premium editions.
