Looks interesting, but I gotta be honest: when I click on the Steam page and the first thing I see is a cash shop to buy "Epoch Points" for this early access game? That's an instant turn-off for me. I'm sure it's not as predatory as what Blizzard did with D4's monetization, but I don't want it in my games, period.
What's predatory about Diablo 4's monetization? Seems pretty standard skins and cosmetics stuff. And the battle pass.
But it's not like you get better gear or anything, right?
Time limited rewards on battle passes are pretty predatory. They're designed to keep you playing when you otherwise wouldn't want to.
Oh yeah, I see. I guess I'm too used to that stuff that it didn't struck me as that egregious compared to any other game.
