Baldur’s Gate 3 reminded me what I miss about buy to play games. I had high hopes for D4 and I don’t regret buying the game, I’m just not interested in buying worthless game currency, and paying for features that really should be part of the base game. All I can see after experiencing season 1 and patch 1.1.1 is a game thats just gonna try milk you for the same thing over and over. Fk that. Diablo Immortal “lite” IRL cash sink hole with remastered D2-like skins. Hard pass.

Yeah, this one is at least, and plenty are.
The model itself isn’t necessarily a scam. If they give you an actual complete product then add to it over time, as opposed to giving you an unfinished mess to start.
I hope we can get back to the golden ps2 era of gaming where companies had to make good complete games to compete instead of early access and loot box garbage but they’ve seen the easy cash and probably won’t go back.
I’m glad some of the mid / small studios still have a bit of soul though.
