Message to the Devs, Greed will have a price.

When you first got idea to make this game, it was because you wanted to make your own game since were disappointed with how diablo turned out. Ye sought aid from the community to support it, people indeed aided thinking it was going be a game for gamer not about company profit. As your game got more successful more and more so called micro-transactions got added to game, which lead also to you leaving many placeholders in many items just so people want to buy the overpriced cosmetics. Greed took over and ye made the prices way up there, far beyond what it is worth. Already you made game about buying and selling and trading and then on top that you clearly made prices of things to even support it or buy things needed such as stash tabs too be way overpriced. Such it is when the greedy get a taste for the green devil they seek more. the cost of such greed has been your souls.

Yeah, totally overpriced indeed... now tell me, how much is two stash tabs (currency and quad tab to be specific) compared to, say, D3 + Reaper of souls, huh?
I hope you get what I'm trying to convey here.
I make dumb builds, therefore I am.
can you guys stop getting baited so easily

But D3 doesn't charge you for skins. In fact, you have in-game "transmogs" that apply a skin from an item onto another.

If anything, everyone should know by now that "free to play" is the more lucrative business when combined with microtransactions.

The fact that people still haven't realized this and keep praising devs for doing it, is... hilarious and sad at the same time.


The free to play you're talking about is pay to win. PoE is one of the only games I can actually think of that 1: doesn't suck and 2: has no pay to win along with being completely free. Maybe Fortnite but they want you to pay $100 for the rest of the game

No, I'm not?!

Look at League of Legends, Dota 2, Overwatch turned free to play...

The former 2 I personally play and know they make TONS of money every year through cosmetics sales.

Much, much, MUCH more than they ever would with buy to play or pay to play models.

Free to play is where the money's at. That's why most big games are either released being free to play or turn so shortly afterwards, after the point they realized they couldn't gross the required revenue.

You know nothing, Jon Snow.


Good games with f2p will over time outpace a paid model. The key point being good games. Shitty f2p games go nowhere. The point people are making is that there is no paid exp boost. No paid item drop boost. People who are claiming stash tabs are pay to win, well there is SSF now, which eliminates that. You could play this game for years without putting a penny in, and be as successful as someone who has spent 2000.
Yeah OP is right.. Fucking GGG making us pay.... Wait we dont have to pay shit to play the game..

But what about making us pay for... Oh yeah that's right we dont have to pay a dime for expansions either..

Well they do make us pay for... Well no i guess i could even make multiple accounts if i was so much of a cheapskate to not even be willing to pay $20 for 6 tabs i can name and trade out of...

Atleast all these other $60 games dont fuck you over like this... Oh wait they do and dry fuck you at that without even giving you a kiss..

Well shit OP.. looks like your only other option at this point is to just say fuck GGG and go pay like $60 bucks for a AAA game that turns around and forces you to purchase the rest of the content they purposely leave out for more money or pay a shit ton extra before the game even comes out for that content that should be there to start with and also buy their microtransactions that do give you clear advantages over others who dont pay... All while half the time being lied to about what your pre-paying for to start with because the game comes out nothing like the demos and advertising they did before release..

But, Damn GGG and their greed...
There is a fine line between Consideration and Hesitation.
The former is Wisdom, the latter is Fear.
Since when is Overwatch Free2play? Just checked. It's still 39.99€ for standard and 59,99€ for Goty-edition. At least in Germany...
I would like to know what you can critize about the PoE system. I think it is a role model for Free2Play games. This is the way they should be. And to be honest. Multiplayer Games like StarWars Battlefront 2 and Codw2 should be free to play and finance themselves through cosmetic microtransaction only! I really hope EA takes a massive hit and it will have some sort of consequences for their Fifa and Madden model. Because they are the moneymaker for EA.
Damn OP, you're right.

GGG's clearly turned into a homeless man, guilt tripping you into spending money on this game. God, they're monetizing the fuck out of this game. Like, how are other people supposed to know I have a big dick unless I'm wearing a ton of MTX that costs money of all things. It should be free!



Now if you'll excuse me while I go wait for the Abyss packs to purchase.
Sure, the lab can be hard, but it's pretty easy if you're properly geared, and not terrible at the game.

yeah, luckily Chris Wilson is a timelord so he knew all this before GGG needed to decide on the totally free to play format that could have sunk the entire business before it ever got started.
