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

And have we come full circle to god damn horse armor.

Boycotts aren’t Boycotts, they are just an underperformed product due to bad reviews. This happens every single day on every single platform.

So if boycotts don’t work, what can the consumer do? Just not play the game at all? Even if the developer put effort in, and its a labor of love, but the publisher forced mtx in anyway? Like, what if the game is good and boycotts don’t work? What’s gonna stop greedy publishers?

You are doing that thing where you are replying to something that you made up in your mind instead of the message that I wrote, because you were really hoping that I would say boycotts don’t work because your whole argument is based on it

Customers leaving bad reviews somewhere that is visible and influential to future potential customers works. It stops people buying the game and demonstrates discontent to the vendor. That’s it.

You still believe boycotts work and are describing them and doing that thing where you make up something in youhr head without any proof. I.e., boycotts working in gaming
