Just more AAA bullshit...

And I'm sure a ton of gamers who will reward this behavior too.

I wish more gamers would realise how much power a boycott can have. We're like junkies just waiting to buy the next shot no matter how shitty it will be. My dipping point was Diablo 4. Never again! Vote with your wallet friends! Also 🏴‍☠️

My dipping point was Diablo 4.

Were you a blizzard or diablo fan before then? Curious why d4 was the tipping point when D3 was potentially worse at launch, with the added insult of drops being weighted to encourage/require the use of the Real Money Auction House to make any real endgame progression. You would get more drops for other characters and have to trade for stuff you could actually use, with blizzard taking a commission on each transaction.

Then there were things like Warcraft 3 Reforged, hearthstone monetization, Overwatch 2, etc.

Diablo 4 was the first Diablo I actually paid for lol. But it wasn't only D4 that was the tipping point for me. Cities Skylines 2 was also a big, big disappointment. And I pre ordered the key, so no refund for me :/
