The rapid descent of gaming into capitalism hell paired with gamers being staunchly pro-capitalism is just the right kind of irony.

    Also, I feel like they must've fucked up in the p2w design. Isn't the whole point of these to obfuscate the mechanics enough so the time/money investment isn't this obvious to the community? I'm sure it'll hook a bunch of people regardless, but the diablo community has a bunch of streamers and influencers already negative on it, doesn't seem like a good indicator.

      Its so clumsy it reeks of either not enough time or incentive to make the transition between playing for free and paying smooth, or a corporate mandate that they couldnt work around.

      Or maybe they just said fuck it and made the entire game a big sign shouting "Dear whales please come play our game!".
