    Our goal remains to protect our players’ time and efforts in Diablo Immortal, now and for years to come.

    My ass, it’s about ensuring blizz is the only one making money with mtx. They’re the only dealer on this beat, if anyone else tries to encroach their territory, it’s gang warz bitch.

    Blizz is the only one here allowed to exploit quick but short-lived dopamine hits, and all the non-whales will suffer for whatever backhanded tactics blizz chooses to defend their monopoly on feeding the addiction.

    “Using third-party programs and hardware to automate any facet of gameplay.”

    So if you’re a disabled gamer, fuck you go play something else.

    I had this issue in the past with Path of Exile. The developer was adamant that any form of assistance was cheating. When asked about players with accessibility issues, complete silence.

    Ableist arrogance and ignorance piss me the fuck off.

      These type of games are made to trick you into gambling as much money as possible. Do you really think they would care about disabled players

        Well they do care, if your particular disability makes you likely to gamble away thousands of dollars.

        Otherwise, nah, you don’t exist.

    I’ve never played diablo, I don’t even pay much attention to it, but isn’t it PvE? Why the fuck is it blizzard’s business if people cheat?

    The only reason I can see is if there are microtransactions and they want to milk those… In which case this is even worse.
