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)

As soon as I saw it was always online, I decided to pass. It looked fun, but I just hate "live" games so much.

I agree with you, but unfortunately that's the reality today. Having been raised playing DII with my dad, Diablo is too big of a franchise for me to skip because of live services.

I completely respect that though. I hope one day live services will be gone or optional. But that's not very likely...

I felt the same way about Halo for a long time. It took 2 bad games before I just didn't bother with the next one.
