Sorry for walking away from this again, but for me, I just cannot sit down and punch this one out lately. There is either nothing going on, or too much going on, and I cannot nail down a subject. I could take shots at Blizzard and Activision again, but whats the point in that? They seem quite content to be Public Enemy #1 with gamers and the gaming community lately. The latest having much to do with Diablo 3. Really should have seen some of this coming, but it caught me off guard, and apparently a lot of people as well. Let's take a quick look here, number one, Online play....ONLY. Yeah, you read that right, you can only play Diablo 3 with an active internet connection, not on a plane, or a train, or even in the car or minivan (as long as you aren't driving). Number two, they appear to have an in game auction house, allowing you to sell anything, for in game currency, or real-world money. Add to this the fact that Blizz has not one, nor two, but three surcharges that they will nail you with. First is a listing fee, second is a winners fee, and third, is a fee they charge when you attempt to cash out your account. Sounds shady eh? I thought so. Wonder how much money they are going to make? I am betting it will be in the millions of dollars.
You know people are going to play, and you know they are going to utilize the Auction House. Blizz gives them another license to print money.
It us up to you, either bitch, whine, and cry about it, or do not buy the game.
I am sure there are other issues, but I honestly cannot go on right now. Think my droopy eyes are telling me something.
Could be sleep now.....or fire Borderlands, and give us some eye candy.
