If they still play this piece of shit there is hardly much they can complaint about.

You, yes, you are the reason this exists in the first place.

What if you don’t care about cosmetics and just enjoy the game?

You good. People complaining about business practices of a company who has become known for those exact business practices are wild. II personally just stopped buying from them because they’ve shown they no longer want me as a customer. I do feel like people like those in the article might do better to just stop buying from them. There are so many fucking great devs and games out there from indie to AAA, why would I continue to support a company who I feel is being unfair to their customer base.

How far has Blizzard fallen.
They used to make polished, interesting games.
Now they make… idk… shareholder money?

If one day I start caring enough about a videogame cosmetic to the point of whining publicly to make it more affordable, someone find me and murder me please

Obviously it doesn’t justify such a predatory way of trying to squeeze money from your users, but if someone has the compulsion to spend $40 on a cosmetic item in a video game then I think they might have issues with addiction.

Which is why they groom you with loot boxes first. The younger they start getting you used to paying for stuff like this the better, hence surprise eggs with like 25 cents worth of 3d printed shit in them targeted at 4 year Olds.

I see your point, but with kinder eggs you’re paying for the chocolate (and the toy has been a thing for longer than 3D printers!)
