Diablo 4 was just released and it supports cross play and is a very good game that is being actively updated to be even better.
And just like that no one cares that Blizzard has a work culture that encourages sexual harassment
People never cared. Just look at CoD, MWII was the fastest-selling game in franchise history and it's the same company. People don't give a damn unless it personally affects them.
I hear it’s an amazing game but it’s hard not to also call it a cash grab considering it’s $70 with a cash shop that has single items over $20
think of the d4 cash shop as cosmetics that don't affect you and lets people who do want them fund your free DLC in the future of the game
personally I kinda like this model over the loot box filled nightmare it would have been if it released in 2017 ish and also over the DLC mess diablo 3 was
Who promised free DLC?
I'm gonna go on a limb here at suggest that the future of D4 and it's DLCs will likely look more like OW/2.
They do affect me.
The fact that they're paywalled means that they aren't earned by playing the game, which means that whether I pay for them or not my experience is much, much worse. Earning cool shit is the core gameplay loop of a game like Diablo.
Yeah I mean I’m just old but I preferred games the way they were 20 years ago, when all those cool cosmetics were in the base game, and they released paid expansions later
My favorite model for cosmetics was when they were just a part of the game you unlocked for free by playing it. Anyone else remember those days?
Fuck these greedy corporations lol
I recently finished Control after upgrading my 3570k (to actually be able to play a modern game at acceptable settings) and found it really refreshing that a newer game gives you cosmetic outfits for playing the damn game. It's a game that doesn't really finish once you complete the story so can see myself continuing it with my new clothes once get bored of TOTK.

Second D4, I've mainly been playing with a mix of PC/Xbox, but works with no issue. You all just need to have blizzard accounts and be friends on those accounts
