This is beating a dead horse, but pay-to-win "games" are disgustingly user hostile, and deserve nobodies money. Please, be principled and keep your money. Blizzard was a respectable company around the time StarCraft 1 came out, but it started downhill with WoW and only accelerated with the Activision merger. Support smaller studios that are daring enough to still focus on making things purely fun as opposed to continuously exploiting your psychology for money.
- ddtaylor 4y agoI agree with you, but for every hundred or thousand of us that refrain it can be dwarfed by a few whales that get "duped" into enabling these kinds of games. > Support smaller studios In the ARPG space this probably means supporting Eleventh Hour Games and their Last Epoch series. Path of Exile by Grinding Gear Games is a fantastic game, but they are 90% owned by Tencent now, so they probably don't qualify as a "smaller studio".
- falcolas 4y agoBy simply playing the game (even without paying), we are helping to support the whaling. After all, not even whales want to play a game that has no players in it. Nobody to show off to; nobody to beat into the ground with the equipment they've purchased.
