The launch of #DiabloImmortal confirmed our greatest fears about #Blizzard Entertainment and their dramatic shift to #paytowin #gaming. But what does this indicate about the industry at large? How did we even get here? And who's to blame?!
We'll cover all of this and more in this video essay about Blizzard Entertainments greatest betrayal.

I would even argue that the gambling mechanics in games now have become far more predatory than actual gambling. At least with real gambling you still have a very clear concept of how much money your spending/losing. Almost every game that uses some form of digital currency, not to mention the common practice of forcing you to buy in fixed sizes, is intentionally obfuscating real money value. There are very intentional mind tricks going on when $10 = 1300 + 150 bonus credits!! and other such schemes are going on, meant to completely detach the player from the concept of value. It's simple math pretty much everybody can do, and yet its so effective at coaxing players to burn through it and buy more. Really, we do need to have regulation on this on a mass scale, for exactly the same reasons as gambling has such regulations.

great summary of events to date and tight editting, you got my sub! One thing that might be worth mentioning is that blizz didn't just jump in the deep end with immortal. They'd already tried it earlier with the real money auction house in diablo 3 taking a cut of each trade, terribly compromising the whole design of the game(as well as requiring always online for a primarily solo game), that was one of the early signs of their integrity starting to fall apart :/

Thanks for checking out the vid!! Really appreciate it. Great point about the D3 AH. That felt a lot like Blizzard being self aware enough to know that they couldn't just drop in a P2W shop directly, but times change... unfortunately

Pay $500,000 ($10 or so per competitive match win) on Overwatch 2 for top 500. Each team will have at least one bot, person who pays has their bot try hard while the enemy bot throws.

No cap though, I'm making a fleet of bots for OW2 that basically sabotage everyone, target specific players, or get all the bronze players to top 500 while top 500 goes to bronze.

You are actually watchable, your voice is natural and easy to the ears, many content creators don't realize that their voice is important for the viewer. I'll watch this entire thing later, thanks for your work & good luck in the future. LE: watched it, like i said voice ! also nicely scripted , got many points across, A+ clip mate. I couldn't agree more on this PTW mechanics bulls, but the fact of the matter is, buying a computer to an 8 year old and leaving him/her there unsupervised even playing free games , is a plane ticket to a F'ed up future for that kid, what can i say about grown ass men & women who waste hours and hours looking at a monitor, not even earning a living doing that, but somehow they have a house, internet, electricity, and barely enough to eat and pay the bills, but yet they can't let go of this PC/Meta false universe. I know I wasted years playing games, having a job that involved the internet, how can u resist, but i was mostly playing and not working. Anyway i digress ... Good luck with the channel mate, everybody go , outside!!! :P

Thanks for taking the time and dropping this awesome comment. I 100% agree that most kids don't have the inhibition or self control to be responsible. We're setting a lot of young people up for failure with all of this gambling garbage.
