I don't understand. I play Diablo 4 all of the time and I've never had a microtransaction. I've had a macro one because that game cost like $70 when I bought it, but nothing after that. Why do people do that?

Fucking

Stupid

It so often boils down to that, doesn't it?

It always boils down to that.

No. Humanity, in its entirety, deserves what is coming.

I've never even noticed another player's skin. Who are they showing off for?

Who knows... I think all the ones you can buy are ugly while the free ones from seasons are pretty cool. Would never buy anyway if they changed that but I am happy as it is now.

My coworker plays those F2P games on her phone and she has shared that she's felt guilty that she played this game for like 500 hours and haven't spent anything, and considers throwing them $5-10 bucks a month.

She's also the kind of person who has like 8 tv subscriptions.

Hmmm, yeah I don't feel that way, for sure.

Also my game is on in the PC. Not sure if that makes a difference.
