Games

I think the craziest thing is, that the survey starts at 50$. They just assume that must be the minimum prize everyone is ok with.

Lunatics…

They ain't getting a dollar or of me. Didn't buy D4, what a toxic, problematic company. I miss the classic Blizzard I grew up with, but that comany, it's talent and passion died in '08.

I’m hoping the collective answer is: “stop smoking crack”.

Who is playing Diablo 4? Especially this year.

I mean, I checked it out at launch, thought it was fine, didn't even finish the main campaign, moved on to the other million great games that came out the past few months. Is this game still relevant?

anyone who didn't uninstall battlenet after the Blitzchung nonsense gets the DLC they fucking deserve

Rant

I've always been of the "vote with your dollar" or "If you don't like it, don't buy it" mentality until recently. Now it seems like the heavy concentration of market power into a few companies is spurring on the continued development of "pricing innovations".

Remember when they said digital distribution would make the games cheaper and they would pass the savings down to us? (surprise that was a lie). That's just the cost of innovation.

Diablo 4 isn't a "bad game" but for games as a service that contains microtransactions, it certainly isn't a game worth a $100 expansion pack. They didn't even include the game with the collectors edition. Sell the collectibles without the game for a premium! Get paid twice! Innovation!

As more and more disappointments land face first on the concrete floor of the empty swimming pool surrounded by apathetic"entitled " gamers they still will not learn from their mistakes because the money says otherwise. They would rather go out of business then sell you a product you actually want to buy. That's the cost of innovation.

I don't know if this is the right place to say this. I urge everyone to collect physical copies of games, back them up, share them and archive them. We're never getting back what we've lost no matter how much we're willing to pay for it.

Who wants to pay $100 to run into a thousand cellars?

After reading a story about bg3 patch 5 adding an epilogue set 6 months after the games end with over 3500 new lines of dialogue, new cutscenes which is based on the thousands of decisions you made in your playthrough and different for everyone and its just a patch and its free. This makes me so mad that blizzard have become this shit hole of a company.

What?

First of all, after the shitshow that was the launch of D4, that's just hilarious. S2 is certainly better than the start, but it is no holy grail that magically fixed everything.

Secondly, you're dreaming if you think a DLC is worth more than the base game.

And finally, I like how they're "asking" players if they'd "be okay" with it. Are you telling me that if the majority of the player base said "NO!" they'd actually listen? If there is anyone who believes that, well I've got a bridge in Sanctuary to sell you.

I'll play D4 if and when it's free. Otherwise I'm not interested.

Diablo 4 isn't that good of a game and not even close to the best arpg. I admittedly got hosed on buying it at launch and am not giving them more money. Why would I spend over 150$ total to get the equivalent of 1 mediocre game assuming they fix all the bs. Definitely regret the purchase at this point, and if a fixed version is going to be locked behind absurdly priced dlc in the future I feel like I got scammed twice.

Honestly I’d like them to release enough content to make me feel like I didn’t waste my original purchase price, maybe I just am wanting for Diablo 1/2 days :(

Vomit. Blizzard gets worse and worse. Good ole capitalism.

No

I am okay with $5000 DLC because i don't play this bitch-ass game.

Ahh, this must be where the laid off Bungie employees went to.

Hahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahaha... Fuckin idiots.

I swear they're spiking the water with acid down in silicon valley, how can so many companies be making so many dumbass decisions all at the same time?

Blizzard: Would you be okay with a 100$ DLC?

Me: Sure, I stopped buying your overpriced crap years ago :D

$120 is my yearly budget for games.

I won't even buy the shitty $70 game because the beta was fucking terrible.

Unless it comes with Diablo V then hell no

Lmao

Absolutely not

I was willing to pay at maximum €15 and that was already pushing it for me.

I bought the ultimate edition because diablo is the franchise I spent most of my time on when gaming. But played more d2r than D4 since it released.

I'll come back to it later to check it out if it's better.

Feels like a power move. I wouldn't be surprised if Microsoft raises their fist and play a move where they end up being the good guy. All to save a dead game and get people to come back spending money.

... which will be stuffed with real-money charges anyway, because oink oink.
