Blizzard is long dead. Such a shame. I’ll never pay for another of their games until… actually I’m not sure when, or what they could do to bring me back. They’ve poisoned their brand so completely, and their latest releases have been either somewhat mediocre or mismanaged into the ground over time.

Ironically GOG has an even more generous refund policy. >You may request a refund for a product up to 30 days after purchase, even if it was downloaded, launched, and played.
Yes, but reportedly if you do this more than a few times they'll get upset with you.
Assuming that the games have progression achievements, GOG can easily see (a) how much time you spent in game, and (b) how far you got. If you choose to abuse the system, you're going to lose the privilege.

> I recently setup pihole, which subsequently went down while playing PS5 i think this is the issue right here.
A game should work in single player mode no matter the network quality or censorship by any of the layers in-between. It's one thing (and annoying enough) if multiplayer servers are shut down after a couple years without opening the source of the server or at least distributing VMware images. But single-player functionality should always work, because why should I otherwise buy a game for 50+ €?!
Which were the main reasons why Diablo 2 classic was still played in the first place !

> Blizzard is long dead. i'm still in somewhat of a denial since i really like their IPs. and diablo 4 is still very much on my radar. if that one tanks then I hope something changes as their IPs are just too good...
Take all that along side all this sexual harassment and anti-worker BS they've been pulling for decades, and I just don't care enough anymore. I don't need anything Blizzard wants to sell any more. I don't need to buy something to tarnish my memories of fun games. I don't need to replay those games if they're made under atrocious conditions. I'm no longer willing to give my money to a company that is emblematic of everything wrong with video games.
Now with other companies pulling that same BS, and now some are coming out in favor of NFTs?
Fuck 'em. I don't need AAA games. Indie titles are just as good, and I've got a hundred other things vying for my free time.
> It serves no real purpose Oh common. You may not like it, but DRM was invented for a reason.

I have disposable income now and buy games as its easier than pirate it from random source.
DRM is thinking of old people forced onto new world.
D2R at launch was bad. Everyone, including Blizzard, admits that. But, after launch it's been pretty good. They are releasing the first balance/content patch in over 10 years and everyone is pretty hyped about it. With regards to the whole "30 days offline" thing - this was well known way ahead of launch.
