Game journalism these days...

Listen, I don't play nor like Diablo 4 but is this headline not a little bit misleading since you get the mount skin as a bonus for buying 70€ worth of their stupid premium currency? So you actually pay for the currency and not the mount...

Again the disclaimer that I do not play Diablo 4, nor do I defend Blizzard or microtransactions and I'm a true supporter that the coolest looking stuff should be exclusively achievable by actually playing the freaking game and not fucking pay for it!

If you excuse me now, got to continue playing Last Epoch which is even in its early access fucking amazing.

The issue is that the mount is only available in this way. So if you want it you have to buy the "bundle", making it a $65 purchase either way.

But are all the other shop skins available by actually playing the game? Because if not I would find the headline still to be quite misleading.

What's the deal with the Epoch points? I keep wanting to check it out, but the Epoch point packs makes me think it's going to be the same deal where you can't earn cool looking stuff in game and have to buy it.

don't know, never heard of them, but I also play exclusively offline and never saw a shop or something
