We released a game with a huge bug, but it’s your fault that you take advantage of it. Imagine paying $70 at least only to be baned because of this bs
This is the absolute worst thing to come out of the “free to play”/“pay to win” genre of games. “Our game is full of bugs? No, it’s the children that are wrong.”
I despise companies that pull bullshit like this. Yes, it is obviously an exploit. Yes, it is breaking the game. However, Blizzard, YOU RELEASED THE BROKEN BULLSHIT. This isn’t some freeware title hoping to eek by on a donation. This is a multi billion dollar company that has had years of development to get this shit right. Fuck you, Blizzard. I’m glad I didn’t pay for your shit, and I will continue with that trend into the foreseeable future. Dump some of your capital into QA instead of CEO wallets. Companies shouldn’t be able to ban someone from playing something that they paid for, unless explicitly stated in the EULA, and a generic clause about “exploits” isn’t explicit.
Yeah, sure, just go ahead and list every bug in the game that you don’t know about before you can ban someone for it.
Quit being willfully obtuse.
You’ve missed the point. I don’t want them to list every potential bug. I know that isn’t possible. What I want is to not have this knee-jerk ban reaction because someone found a bug and used it to their advantage. As far as I’m concerned, until something is said to the community about a particular bug, the game is working as intended, and the onus is on the company to sort it out. That’s like if you bought a ticket to Disney, went inside, went to restaurant, ordered your meal, and a disgruntled employee told you, “No charge,” and let you walk off without paying. You think Disney should ban someone because they accepted a free lunch after paying $60 to enter the park? No. They should fire the employee, which, in this analogy, means fixing the bug.
That’s the dumbest goddamn analogy I’ve ever read.
How about one that actually works?
You buy a ticket to Disney, go inside, go into the restauraunt, steal someone’s food, then go Surprised Pikachu whenever you get kicked out because why didn’t Disney warn you that stealing shit would get you kicked out?!? Why isn’t it specifically mentioned on the ticket?
Because you can’t possibly be that stupid, that’s why.
Blaming the company for banning cheaters is the dumbest take I’ve seen in at least fifteen minutes.
Can you explain whose food they stole in this analogy? I’m struggling with your analogy here.
Something tells me you also struggle with doorknobs. Grip THEN turn.
Well, at least you can still play the game offline.
Oh, wait…
I’m not surprised to see this at all. Blizzard has always been pretty protective of their in-game economies, and this exploit flooded the seasonal realm with a ton of gold that shouldn’t have been there. Anybody who tried this should have 100% expected to get banned.
I’m glad I ditched this dumpster fire early on as soon as I got a satisfying amount of hours played. Definitely the last time blizzard will see my money, at least on the Diablo franchise.
Jaysis. Just stop buying these exploitative and morally bankrupt games. No “at least on the X franchise”. No “I won’t pay any microtransactions”. No “I won’t preorder”.
They will not change, nor get better as long as they’re selling.
Just STOP buying this shite, everyone.
You didn’t learn your lesson from Diablo 3 or Immortals?
Unfortunately I was very young when D3 came out and I never played Immortals. So I had to learn from D4 ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Ridiculous for single player games, this is what I see D4 as primarily. People should be able to do whatever they want and exploit whatever. Mark their save as modded, exclude them from rankings and PvP and call it a day. But companies don’t want that, because it would potentially hurt their nasty IAP schemes.
I also don’t have much sympathy for the victims, because they bought a product from a well known awful company.
D4 sucks, play BG3 instead.
And let’s just compare two games that have absolutely nothing in common 🙄
Bruh literally looks at two RPGs and says they have nothing in common lmao
BRUH, one is an dungeon crawling loot focused aarpg. The other, a hybrid real-time strategy based rpg, almost the closest thing to a digital pen and paper tabletop.
Having played d2, D3, d2 redux, d4, bg, bg2, and icewind dale, what are you talking about?? They couldn’t be any different
You’re arguing semantics. BG3 respects your time and wallet, D4 doesn’t it’s that simple. But you do you.
SRPGs are boring shit and you’re in absolute clownland if you think an ARPG like D4 or Path of Exile is anywhere near worth comparing to Baldur’s Fucking Gate.
Imagine projecting so hard and having a terrible take on top of it. Like, it’s one thing to have an opinion and it’s another thing entirely to believe it’s the only correct opinion. The narcissism is strong in you lol I suggest you go touch grass.
it’s one thing to have an opinion and it’s another thing entirely to believe it’s the only correct opinion

Anyone know if the PS5 version will have local multi-player?
