This is plain irrational, people are buying this game at a faster pace than ever despite this shit costing 70$, but still charging up to 28$ for one single cosmetic set exclusive to a fucking cash shop, plus a fucking battle-pass. I’ve never been a fan of the series in fact I never played Diablo III so I can’t relate but still, Blizzard got into the brain of their clients with this shit it’s just fucked up. It’s not rational, consumerism at this level can’t just be a trick that is played on their brains by clever marketing teams, it’s deeper than that. People are being broken, their wits have been altered. There is something about impulse control that was removed from their abilities. No ableism intended, people with disorders need respect and care. I think that capitalism is responsible for damaging people mentally, those people are victims and need help.

End of rant.

    Actually I find cosmetics to be a pretty important part of the experience. Getting cool looking is valuable and in a 70$ game I expect to be able to personalize my character with everything the developers put in for that purpose. I understand your argument because not everyone cares but for the people who do it just feels insulting to get frustrated by a cash shop when you paid the full entry price
