Diablo 4's new Vitreous Scourge mount can only be bought through an in-game currency bundle more expensive than the actual game.

And have we come full circle to god damn horse armor.

    Every time this comes up (which is too often) I’m like “Who is buying this?” How can we make them stop? Do they need help?

      Yes.

      People who spend 10s of thousands of dollars on micro transactions do need help.

      Said help probably needs to come at a government level banning things that were designed in a computer lab to be digital Crack.

        It’s such a shame that the OW1 discussion about loot boxes went nowhere in regards to giving ingame gambling the same legal framework as IRL gambling.

          Also kind of crazy that loot boxes were far less predatory than the current ow2 system is. It was very possible to never buy boxes and get everything. Nowadays? No chance

            I mean, they also freed me from my pain wanting to play that game, only with their shitty update, so i have to thank Blizzard.
