Free offers the blandest armor skins you can think of(base game skins look better) and a crappy title that you can put on your character that no one will notice.
Paid gives you mid cosmetics and 666 of their microtransaction tokens. Except the cheapest item in the store is 800 tokens. So you get to pay money so you can pay money again to actually use the rewards from the paid track. It’s a slap in the face and I’m glad I didn’t buy ultimate edition.
I don’t regret paying the $70 because before the latest patch the game was actually pretty damn fun. But I have absolutely no reason to keep playing anymore. I’m going to remember my times with d4 fondly and forget that the game still exists.
I put so many hours into D2 growing up, but refused to touch D3 when it rolled around. This summer some old friends tried to get me to jump aboard the D4 train, but for some reason I didn’t feel it. Part of it I think was that I’ve played enough of the genre (D2 & PoE) that I’m kind of not hungry for it anymore, but another big part was definitely because I wouldn’t trust Blizzard with a free lunch.
Not sure if it makes me happy or sad to see my suspicions weren’t unwarranted.

I know this is just textbook mobile game style monetization bullshit and I should desensitized to it by now, but stuff like this still pisses me off.

D3 has been really fun since reaper of souls, at least for someone like me who hates the trading aspect of arpgs
