Sooooo Blizz gave Diablo 4 a light MMO vibe to justify being always-online bullshit, and it has permadeath, and your characters can permadie if Blizz, say, kill the servers without warning,

which they did because a backend issue meant they weren't able to charge people money for microtransactions,

and honestly I'm just fucking cackling because, y'know, if you're going to be so indifferent to the sheer fucking real-world evil Activision Blizzard perpetrate that you throw seventy fucking quid at them for it, I can't honestly find a great deal of sympathy to temper anything else I feel about it.

The fucking icing is the gaming press using Cop Culpability Tense in their various phrasings of "Blizzard deliberately and without hesitation fucked peoples' playthroughs for money", which reeeeeally underscores the precious independence and not-corruption of gaming news
