"Man is his own star. His acts are his angels, good or ill, While his fatal shadows walk silently beside him."-Rhyme of the Primeval Paradine AFC 54
You know a community is bad when moderators lock a thread because "...this isnt the place to talk about it either seeing as it will get trolled..."
Ok ill try run with your analogy.
Firstly one is a sub cost that provides entertainment and some of that entertainment is exclusive to netflix such as stranger things, queens gambit etc.
The other is a mobile game that is free to play via download on a mobile or PC.
Right away diablo sounds like its ahead right because its free entertainment? I can't disagree with that logic.
The problem arises when I like said entertainment and I cant go any further other than throwing LUDICROUS amounts of money at it because its designed that way BECAUSE its free to play. Id rather pay a flat out price or a sub to gain access to unlimited content and not be gated by casino slots. Ya feel me

Because diablo is easily one of the my favouite IP's of all time and i want to still be semi optimistic for d4 I guess even though everything points to it being a shit show.
Shame on me for having hope still i guess
No reason to argue with you since you’re not informed, as your opinion on Poe shows. You can START the game for free. But once you get to the endgame - mapping - you are either buying inventory slots or slowing your progress by dedicating 90% of your time to inventory management.
And no, this is not playing, because you obviously can’t enjoy the game this way.

No problem here with paying for the fun. But then stop calling the game free, as it’s not free anymore
All right, gentleperchildren, let's review. The year is 2024 - that's two-zero-two-four, as in the 21st Century's perfect vision - and I am sorry to say the world has become a pussy-whipped, Brady Bunch version of itself, run by a bunch of still-masked clots ridden infertile senile sissies who want the Last Ukrainian to die so they can get on with the War on China, with some middle-eastern genocide on the side
Gotta love how people always use path of exile as their example because its probably the best example of free to play on the market.
So naturally that means its the same as D:immortal or clash of clans.

How many hours do you reckon you've played so far? I'm guessing you've finished the campaign, completed grinding the sets for a couple of builds, maxed out the lower level gems and hit paragon 30ish?
As you've done all that for free doesn't it seem worthwhile to drop a few quid on on of the bundles, or just quit now and enjoy that you have had an awesome time for free?

I think you're trying to be sarcastic but I've had many, many hours of free entertainment because other players have foot the bill.

See I've played a lot of DI in the last couple of weeks and I have not really felt gated. The only time I ever felt at a disadvantage was yesterday because the Cycle reset and all the whales were back at Bronze 5 climbing their BG ranks. Everywhere else I've managed to keep up. The only real gate is CR.
How long has the game been out?
The entire system is designed for whales to race ahead through hell paragon levels.
When you're hitting the next level of hell/loot that will already be 1month+ too late.
That isnt in the spirit of gaming yet we have fiend after fiend defending this shit.
Or maybe some people got used to video gaming actually being a product you brought outright and it wasnt a live service that also acted as a gambling vice.
Maybe.
But anyway you seem to have an agenda on this, so tell it to someone who still gives a shit and doesnt see past your fake shit for what it is.
