Diablo

I wasn't disagreeing with you but rather adding to that point you've made. Yes, they need money, I need money, everyone needs money. That does not mean people & companies should use predatory tactics though. I quit Warframe over the same bullshit, and they don't even ask for money for their battlepass and typically pool the rewards into the later ones somehow (usually through the store that comes with it, which you earn currency through the battlepass for), so there's at least a "seasonal" chance to still get missed rewards. I still think it's garbage but at least I don't have to pay for being semi forced to play at certain times and in certain ways, instead of it being based on my time and how I want to play.
