Diablo 4's new Vitreous Scourge mount can only be bought through an in-game currency bundle more expensive than the actual game.

There’s no vote with your wallet when the supply is infinite and intangible, me not buying the microtransaction is one person, but a single whale will buy several, getting multiple votes in “yes please continue to shove shit down my throat” this isn’t voting at all.

One thing I have heard stuck with me fiercely.

“When you vote with your wallet, those who have more money get more votes”.

And you know who got the most money? No, it’s not the whales. It’s the corporations.
