How else are they going to milk the shit out of an IP running off the success of previous games?
I’ll be interested to see how this game changes under Microsoft in place of Bobby
Don't get your hopes up...
I'm not really in the loop but last time i heard bobby stayed after acquisition. At least for a little bit. *just checked and it's untill the end of 2023, so not too bad.
Diablo 1 had a duplication bug through its final release and no one was ever "actioned" for exploiting it. Let people have fun with the game FFS.
Their entire business model here is to maintain the whales who play at the top 1% level of Great Rifts that spend the most time in the game.
When that's your business model, you can't let players get too strong without having to spend a lot of time in the game. Because getting strong is the goal, so the more time you spend, the more invested you get, the more likely you are buying these extra things.
They need to feel stronger than others. So they can justify the time spent. But when everyone can be superman. Well, then no one is superman.
Fuck Blizzard but do they not have an in game economy to maintain? You wouldn't tell Valve not to patch CS dupe exploits.
Does this game have pvp? I haven't played any diablo. But if this is just PvE and people can easily remove someone from a group, then I fail to see this as anything other than them milking IAPs. If it has PvP or something then i can understand.
Like previous iterations, it has pvp but no one plays because there's no incentive to do so.
It has pvp arenas, there's not much rewards to kill other players though
Games that have exploitable bugs will be exploited
Action me harder, daddy
PC Gamer is like "we will let you know when this is fixed"... Since when are they the middle man? Blizzard will tell players when this is fixed. PC Gamer is not even needed in the conversation. :)
