I still find the fact somewhat bewildering. The gaming industry is literally the only industry that I can think of that can get away with pissing their customers right in the face with anti-consumer ethics. Somehow noone seems to care here. Other entertainment industries seems to have to be mindful with PR, gaming industry somehow doesnt. No matter how big the scandal, gamers seem to easily forget or just dont care. And I fear its mostly the latter.

Not surprising when you consider just the name alone. And it probably attracts casual ARPG gamers more than the competiton due to its ease of access. I've seen a couple of streams and I am unimpressed, to say the least. D3 Reskin basically, thrown in the aspect system to simulate complexity and some mmo elements. Poor build variety when it comes to endgame viability. Same as D3, just prettier. Just doesn't do it for me when PoE and Last Epoch exist. And I've not even started about not especially cheap MTX in a 70€ game, complete with battlepass and every psychological trick in the book to milk players even more. "Shameful shiat."
That's a good thing in my opinion, although it probably won't accomplish anything. But it's also a good time to abandon the sinking ship and try out new things - hey lemmy :-)
Even the AMA announcement is at "0" (so probably in the thousands negative, didnt check). I'll also check in with some popcorn. =)
