D4 and RE8 are the two titles i've purchased on day one that i will always remember as extreme waste of money. And in the case of D4, i am literally ashamed of telling others that i bought it day one, and spent over 300h playing it. Never again.

300?! Damn.. You, sir, were very starved of games. Didn't you play the beta? And you still bought and played it after that?

Well.. you did buy BF2042. On a console. Guess I shouldn't be surprised.

I agree this is shitty and MS need to step in and stop this BS, but we know they won't.

But in the big scope of things this is just small fry when you have people spending thousands on ships in a game that hasn't been released yet in Star Citizen.

I wouldn't say that. Pretty sure ActiBlizz gets more money from selling a 65 dollar horse than CIG gets from a 20.000 dollar spaceship.

You can just point and laugh at what CIG is doing. What ActiBlizz is doing is just sad and annoying.

Difference is you can buy almost all of the ships with the in-game currency that you can earn inside of the Star Citizen game without having to spend extra money. Diablo 4 said no to all of that, and there's no other way to obtain these skins without spending money.

That is, indeed, more shit. Blizzard have shown how they are planning to operate henceforth, so I just consider them dead.

Remember the 2.5 dollar horse armor controversy?

Those were the days.

I was actually thinking about it the other day because afaik Starfield didn't launch with any microtransactions, was a complete game and from what I could tell was more fair to the end consumer than Oblivion was way back in X360 launch days.

On the topic of DLCs...

Why does this horse cost more than Shadows of the Erdtree?

@R4gn4r0k Yeah, I didnt notice anything particularly anti-consumer with Starfield when I played. DLCs definately got worse over time.

2.5 dollar horse armors were bad.
Then we got 15 dollar skins in League of Legends.
Now we have 25-30 dollar mounts in FF14 and WoW.

And now this 65 dollar atrocity.

Valorant of course has their 100 dollar weapon skins too.
