It's almost June. Not the best time to stay in playing video games.

Capitalist systems can easily absorb representation campaigns and symbolic activism. Corporations adopt whatever branding maximizes market reach and reduces PR risk. This is one criticism of some of my leftist friends/ diamat enjoyers to woke movement. Diablo 4 shows that bliz is as capitalist as it gets.

Im not a communist btw (Im literally a businessman free market ftw )

its already dead by day 5, glad I skipped this season. will see what blizzard add comes blizzcon, bring on act 6 baby

woke is when vibeogame bad

no, its woke when it tries to regulate equality of outcome. no more ribbon for first place. theres alot of other issues with their games, but this is pretty glaring




im not talking about how they run their business. im talking about the virtual world they create which time and time again is mediocre at best.

Sad

the only equality in outcomes I can think of is letting people group complete chronicles which entirely devalues the point of it

Fair, I call it the 'will to equality' and it can be as toxic and problematic as inequality itself. This model benefits casual players and in return gives bliz more profits. They don't really make a game like d2 that is so good it retains its player base. They want to sell new stuff after people are bored with d4's mediocre endgame.

I've hated D4's system of monsters leveling with you and with group.

It is quite fundamental in our nature to desire competition of some sort. DOTA2, league, and similar games are so popular for this reason. Without differentiation or respect for the individualistic aspect of an RPG, the experience becomes mediocre
