Youre paying

No, someone else is paying. Which is the beauty to me.

But is there anything missing in diablo 4 that you would have gotten in an earlier version of the game for free? I'm not a big fan of the series so I don't have a good comparison.

You pirated diablo 4? Gotta say, thats impressive to do for a server game.

Youre paying a second time

You were referring to the MTX after you purchase the game.

[–] wildginger@lemmy.myserv.one 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Incorrect. The second payment is the loss of content they dont get because they dont buy.

The guy has already repeatedly stated he doesnt buy microtransactions. The second payment is not the mtx he doesnt buy, its the lost content that the $60 game doesnt give him

Ah, the meaning wasn't clear.

Thats fair, I probs shouldnt have used "paid for" in the metaphorical sense in a discussion about actually buying things lol
