You're free to do what you want, but I for one will not be supporting them based on their monetization strategies and anti-consumer practices.
Blizzard just has to be like Larian, release a feature complete singleplayer game with the ability to play multiplayer, it's that easy. No need for battlepasses, or $30 skins, no need for always online drm.
These are terrible business practices born of greed and hubris that need to die.

Do they though? Diablo is the most successful loot crawling aarpg of all time.

If it's all cosmetic and doesn't influence gameplay, why care?
You're free to be okay with being disrespected I guess, but that's not me.
We'll I'm not sure about others. But I appreciate when I spend $60 on a title that I get the complete and full experience "cosmetics" and all. That's just me I guess.
Your take on this subject is frighteningly strange
For starters, I said strange. Frighteningly strange, not scary. Secondly, the kids goes off unhinged about how D4 sucks and everyone should play BG3. Being a HUGE fan of both franchises, not only was he being a reductive asshole, but as I pointed out they aren't even worth comparing. The two are completely different genres.
Then he doubles down on how either they aren't or they are but it doesn't matter (sorry. "semantics" wasn't specifc enough) and goes off on some unfounded tirade about Blizzards practices and how he feweels Blizzard needs to shape the most successful aarpg of all time like Larian.
Not to mention this post has nothing to do with Baldur's Gate. It was about people cheating in the first season of D4...
I can continue if you like?
I don't know how. Anyone with some semblance of self-respect would agree with me. Just check the latest comment it's literally someone saying in all caps "stop buying blizzard products" it isn't madness, there's a reason to it. Blizzard doesn't care about you, they don't respect your time or your wallet. But if you don't understand it, then who am I to argue?

Wow, you are trying hard to be a clown and I still don't find you amusing. Try harder next time.
