    People complaining about Diablo IV while continuing to play it are fucking idiots. You’re right, Acti-Blizz won’t change anything as long as people keeping playing and paying. It shits me up the wall, Stephanie Sterling fucking called it years ago, that microtransactions were awful and would become a cancer, and it has. I am tired of Acti-Blizz games, I am tired of fanboys defending Acti-Blizz; if they weren’t going to boycott bc of the sexual harassment issues in the company, then they were never going to boycott over MX.\

    Ugh!

      I bought Dave the Diver last night and was having a blast with it. I switched over to Rimworld after a spell and had more fun. Then I realised I’m having so much fun with these more “indie” titles, and that things like Diablo IV are purely FOMO when it comes to wanting the game. I think it’s an exercise in avoiding the online hype (although in saying that, holy shit Baldurs Gate 3 looks fucking incredible).

      Also, fuck MXs. The day they became an industry standard was the day AAA videogames took a turn for the worse.
