Inb4 - Yes I know it's a me problem. I'm not the target demo. I've just been a fan of the franchise since I read The Sin War as a kid.

I'll play through a Diablo once. As a necromancer. Exclusively as a necromancer.

Everyone I know is a gatcha addict. All they care about is ever growing numbers. Bigger damage. Filling paragon boards. Torment levels.

I just wanna play through the story content. Once.

Blizzard make money extraction software now, not games. The lifecycle of their products starts with a complicated system of overlapping, interrelated components like events and currencies and battlepasses and sales and shops and services and items and subscriptions, and then they dress it up to look like a game.
