Diablo 4 sales have brought Blizzard more than $1 billion. About 15 percent of that amount came from microtransactions.

    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?

        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?

      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.
