Ha well you could just go and but the stock straight up.
The bigger issue here is how much of this store is on our disc/day one download i already see a full row in my armor look that tells me to get the plastic out.
How do they justify charging $30 for a dress? I get that less people will buy it, but look at the work that goes into that compared to the ENTIRE game and look at the price difference. I'm surprised this isn't regulated, to be honest.
That is the issue after over 7yrs loot box's are getting regulated and or attention.
So live service is the future now and users love it i saw last night a group of 3 bragging about there store armor and horse armor showing it off like you a peasant they are not in the chat.
Destiny 2 just released 3 PlayStation themed costumes for $20 each. The prices these companies are starting to charge is outrageous. You could by a great indie game for less than the price of a MTX dress.
The prices are ridiculous. The BIG difference between those two games though, is that Diablo 4 is $70 and Destiny 2 is FREE. Either way, I'm not paying, but you have to acknowledge the elephant in the room.
Destiny 2 wasn’t always free before micro transactions were implemented and in order to keep up to date and play the current version of Destiny 2, you have to pay.
I get it, you want to defend Sony to the death but let’s not downplay $20 cosmetics because it’s Sony. You all complain about Warzone, that’s free too but here we are, different story when it’s a Sony owned property.
Destiny 2 is hardly free. The base game, which Bungie stripped half of it away and hasn't updated the other half, is free. The expansions are not free. You want to play Lightfall - that's $50. You want the current season - that's another $15. You want to play the new dungeon that just came out - that's $20. Cosmetics from the seasonal event - that's $10 for the privilege of grinding away at them.
Problem is, most of these live service games drop feed content and/or release bare bones to begin with. I’m starting to prefer the $20-$30 expansion packs from before that included a years worth of “free updates”
We're talking about D4 right now. This is an excellent game with a ton of content at release. As of right they don't shove any MT in your face either. I haven't even looked at the shop tab.
Or voice our opinions and maybe they'll listen and reduce the prices to acceptable levels. It should ONLY be about £5 for most these cosmetic items not £20. Example why can't a goal explosion in rocket league be £2.99 NOT £17.99 or clothes £0.99 for boots or trousers and not £20 or armour/weapon skin £1.99 NOT £15/25.
If it was simply just an offer, that wouldn't be so egregious. However, it's never just an offer. It's always some mechanic tied to the MTXs, or some kind of psychological funnel. Even in the case of D4, it's the "don't miss out!" hard sales tactic, which just works on people and creates a predictable statistical revenue projection for Blizzard. It's predatory and makes the game they appear in altogether worse. You think that Diablo 4 content being released relies on the success of cosmetic MTXs in D4? Not the billions in revenue WoW subs still bring in?
You want to blast Immortal for the pay2win, go for it. But this game is purely cosmetics. Nothing to cry about. There is a shit ton of free content in the game.
Can you not allocate points yourself and they are automatic now? I read that is the case. I’m not buying the game now if ever but that just makes things worse to me. I don’t like these expensive cosmetics plus battle passes so I doubt I’ll ever buy the game now. I was planning on buying it someday when the complete edition comes out but I can live without it .
No and yes. You don't allocate stat points during 1-50. After you get the paragon board you start making choices on base stats and skill boosts. If you aren't following a guide there is plenty to play around with.
Blizzard stock is 80$
We should be able to own their stock every time we spend 80.
How do they justify charging $30 for a dress? I get that less people will buy it, but look at the work that goes into that compared to the ENTIRE game and look at the price difference. I'm surprised this isn't regulated, to be honest.
It has them, that's the problem
People w more money than sense dont seem to mind.
Stop crying. It is cosmetics only. If people want to spend $25 on it, then so be it.
I'll be getting free content updates for years thanks to these people funding the game.
