Honestly, having know this I wouldn't have bought D4 in the first place.

It was expensive as fuck for a game that I played a week at most, and got boring. Not saying the game isn't great on some aspects. The story and graphics are amazing but... other than that it's not that interesting late game.

Spending 60€+ on a game that has battle passes and an ingame shop on top of it, for them to add one expansion a year after, yearly? Wtf

It's true what they say. Blizzard has gotten greed af.

This has probably been the last game I will ever buy from them. There are already Diablo 4 private servers, I think I'll just wait until those catch up with those expansions...

(reposting from the D4 community since this community is larger and likely will have more discussion here)

Why'd you buy it so quick? It's not a ride the wave game where you need full lobbies, it's an arpg that should be durable and accessable for years to come.

You're right. I didn't even buy it pre order because I hate doing that and never will. So, after the game was launched, I watched some streams, the game seemed fun and no really big complaints anywhere. A couple of friends also bought the game, and told me it was fun.

And, to be honest, they weren't wrong. The game WAS fun... Until you end the story and it's just boring.

I played on both betas too and did enjoy the gameplay and such. Couldn't wait for more of the story...

So that's how I ended up buying it 1week or so after release.
