Devs usually do that when the game is at Death's Door.
Now they want our money after what happened before, they showed their true colors over the last few years and they can go to hell. Now they want the whole cake.
GTFOH.
Dream on, idiots, real gamers know. You can't lie to us.
The fact developers do this to 'their own game' speaks volumes about a team and its culture. You have to be a pretty lean athlete for those mental gymnastics. Or just plain dead inside. Ten, twenty years ago it was new and maybe you couldnt know. But in 2023?
Never logged back in Blizzard, you treated your real fans & customers like crap for way too long. I don't care how good it is now or how good you will make it, this was the last title I will have ever bought from you. You had decades of experience and decided to give us a turd on launch, oh we know why you did it, smelled the cash a mile off eh? Create the problem, sell the solution. SCREW YOU!
Diablo IV is just a rip-off beta that will likely die before it's even half-finished. Any talent Blizzard had for game design left that company at least a decade ago in disgust.
It's not the first thing I fire up but I am usually poking around at the start of each season.
I still find it a little less intuitive than I'd like but still generally fun to play.
Slot machines kinda give me that same experience you describe above here. 'Oh, there are flashy lights and I get my dopamine shot every 10 minutes' "its not really intuitive so I dont really like what Im doing but its okay for a while"
Worth reflecting on
It's not that the game mechanics are problematic, more I find myself questioning why the season is giving us xxx.
I still feel that summoner classes in D3/D4 don't reflect what they were in D2.
