how thoroughly unsurprising
Funny how COD has it but Diablo doesn't. They must have some kind of data that shows only a small amount of people are playing COD enough to get the full amount of currency. Would have been a good look to offer full amount in the pass even if casual gamers couldn't get it.
Fortnite and Rocket League have it too but COD/Diablo are the same company.
If you are upset by this after they've been doing the same thing for almost 20 years and you brought into it again your a mug. You know what it's going to be eventually as the first wave of sales dies off the microtrans starts up. A lot of people got in early got their 50-100 hours in and called it a day or didn't bother after 3.
A$120 for the game and they have the sheer ducking audacity to do a season pass in the first few months
Havent played D4.. So wtf does the battle pass do? Is it required to play?
No, mostly/all cosmetic. Just gives you a sense of progression and goals to aim for.
What an overhyped garbage fest lmaooo
As long clowns pay with this shit, the merchant will sell.
Best to vote with your money if you disapprove.
What's locked behind Platinum? I thought it was just cosmetics. Is there any actually gameplay/QOL stuff that it gets you?
You’re right it’s just cosmetic stuff. However the battle pass itself costs money. So the idea that paying money for the battle pass doesn’t earn you enough to buy ANYTHING is kind of ridiculous. I know you unlock other things in the battle pass itself but still.
I only have this seasons battle pass because it came with the digital deluxe edition. I can’t see myself ever buying it.
If this is the case, they might as well not included. But it gives incentive to buy more platinum to actually buy something.
Yeah, that is exactly it. It's a psychological trick to scam a few dollars out of people. Mobile games have been doing this exact shit for years, because it works. It's the type of manipulative bullshit you'd expect from a "F2P" gacha mobile game, not a full price AAA title.
PC games do this for years already too...
