    Despite the patch, I was still willing to play season 1(already paid $70 so why not)

    Then I saw that reward track. Free sucks and somehow the paid version sucks more.

    Uninstalled.

      I refused to play Blizzard games after their Hong Kong and Hearthstone shenanigans and history has time and again justified that decision.

      That said, the Diablo games were always close to my heart. Out of curiosity, what makes the free/paid reward tracks feel so unrewarding to you?

        I’m out of the loop with D4. What are these free/paid reward tracks? Some sort of new money making sceme? As if paying out for the game isn’t enough already.

          D3 had seasons where you did things and got points towards cosmetics and titles. This was all included with the game and you just had to put the work in to earn them.

          D4 took that and said “What’s this? Something that isn’t asking players for money? Wow how can this be?” and turned it into a battle pass.

          I posted another comment here about what the battle pass actually offers and why I uninstalled.

            D3 was also a shit show due to the market and in game transactions on launch iirc

            I haven’t played since d2 because blizzard have been greedy little fucks since then

              You remember correctly, at launch D3 had the RMAH (real money auction house). It was a bit of a mess and they ended up removing it from the game not long after launch.
