actsukrit, do gaming w Postal Devs ask fans to pirate games instead of using key resellers, giving explicit permission to fans

I swear everyone here is missing the point.

The issue is scammers buy keys with stolen or fraudulent credit card info, then they sell those keys via key resellers like G2A to make money.

Meanwhile the original sale gets disputed, and the sellers are hit with a chargeback, which means not only do the developers have to pay back the money they made, but they also LOSE money because of chargeback fees that credit card companies levy on them for the disputed transaction.

It doesn’t matter that they can void the key that was fraudulently purchased, they still lost money on that sale because of the chargeback fee. That’s why they’re saying “please at least pirate it”, because in that case, while they’re not making a sale, they’re at least not losing money on the transaction.

Maybe this is just me being an old man screaming into the wind but Diablo, ironically, feels like its lost its soul.

Won’t play anything from Blizzard. Support indie games and ethical publishers/developers!

How bad are the microtransactions? I’m debating getting for my steam deck because people claim that it runs well on it.

Also that it’s online only does not seem nice for the steam deck experience.

@hyper @Dasnap MTX is currently limited to cosmetic only and future battle passes.

It's blizzard though, so expect that to change with time.

Isn't it just Path Of Exile with a different story?

0xc0ba17,

Diablo is a much more approachable game, more casual, more streamlined. It’s much less complicated than PoE

Love to see yet again that it doesn’t matter how horrible of a company you are, it literally doesn’t matter, nobody cares, consumerism wins.

This is the weirdly unlearnable realization that’s going to hit third party app reddit users in 6 or so weeks. Because Reddit will just truck along unchanged.

I haven’t played a Blizzard game or touched anything even close to related to Battle Net in years. I did my part. In 30 years Blizzard will still be there, and I’ll have had no impact, but that won’t make me regret a thing. It was just some video games that I’ll have missed out on. I’m already missing out on video games as is, every single person is, and time will only increase the amount. Blizzard isn’t and will never be worth being “the ones” at the top of that mindspace.
