If you've made it to the end maybe you should pay?
- tjpnz 4y agoIf it was a mainline Diablo game I might, but that's not the kind of product they're selling. If I chose to treat it as such I would be dropping significantly more than the usual 60-70 dollars. That's a bad deal, even more so for those with gambling tendencies.
- wincy 4y agoI got probably a thousand hours out of Diablo 2 for $100 total. Somehow I feel like the value proposition of $110,000 to have a maxed out character isn’t so great.
- Madmallard 4y agoI can't believe people are even playing devil's advocate here. The level of quality has dropped so far the company should go bankrupt over games like this in a world not driven by perverse incentives.
- hoseja 4y agoThese US-based companies that made a couple good games really have too much goodwill going for them. Same with Bethesda. Imagine if CDProject did something like this, the snarky anglo hate would be infinite.
- wincy 4y agoI mean a lot of US companies are like this. Some grifter VC firm buys the face of your favorite thing then starts pumping out garbage and gaslights you for noticing. The people who worked on Diablo 2 or even the original World of Warcraft are long since gone. I’ve even noticed it with Cocomelon, the YouTube toddler show, funny enough. Then I looked it up and realized it had been bought by a kids show corporation. I could just tell! The episodes are just different and weird somehow. Like the lessons they’re teaching seem off. Before it was just an enterprising mom and dad running a YouTube channel teaching wholesome values. It also explains all the new toys and marketing around it.
- jayd16 4y agoThere's a lot of MTX but my guess is that $100k number will change over time. Surely they'll introduce new tiers to reach (or buy). You'll never finish... but on the other hand it's pointless to be maxed out anyway.
