Well it’s no secret that the “cozy game” genre such as this, Animal Crossing, Stardew Valley, dating sims, etc. often have a larger share of woman/girl players than other genres. Sometimes the publishers market more heavily to that demographic and othertimes they don’t.

As a 40-year-old man who was considering picking this up, as I like the genre, your fixation on “girl games” is really odd to me. 

Yikes! I hope that huge chip on your shoulder heals soon! My wife AND I (with my giant beard, flannels, and whatever else might be too “manly”) both really look forward to chilling out with a familiar formula in a different setting. Not so sure its approach is as sinister (or outright dismissive?) toward a certain…

Whenever a corporate mouthpiece says: “It’s better for consumers!”

I agree that the vitriol is mostly unwarranted, but the state of the game is far from fine. They've been phoning it in for ages now. And PvP folks have been completely ignored for ages.

Is one of the features "make the default tile the last game you played and not the ad tile"? Please?

In today’s edition of here’s where we rip off Icy Veins...

I read the title first and thought it was a joke. Have you read the actual patch notes? The whole game was made way more grindy. They even made the leave dungeon portal 2 seconds longer lmao. I don’t think you know what you are writing about sorry.

is this a paid advert? It misses the actual mark by miles.  so completely misleading compared to the actual exp and end game grind nerfs.

fixed the title of the article for you.

In my years reading articles here I don’t think I have ever seen one that was more out of touch about a patch.  Thought the headline was a joke at first.  Yikes.

Is ActiBlizz writing these D4 articles for you?

Uh, this feels like a weird article. Renown might be much better, but they’ve also nerfed Vulnerable and Crit damage, reduced cooldown and damage reduction, and even reduced the amount of experience you get from killing monsters at higher levels than you, as well as the experience boost from partying up with people.…

But they reduced the amount of XP you get and lowered the level of the mobs in the overworld and dungeons so you actually get less??

This is the exact opposite take from what I’ve read every single player complaining about. It seems this patch is actually designed to DRASTICALLY slow down the game. If you slow down the game, then you are increasing the grind. 

OK, bootlicker.

This is bullshit and hopefully he fights back against the airlines.

It doesnt give you a heads up. It’s a requirement to access the season, that you beat the campaign first. That’s all.
The season content includes story that takes place AFTER the campaign. So consider it like a mini expansion pack.

Oh a new Diablo class? Nea...oh it’s for Immortal, who could possibly give a shit

It’s like pre-orders might be a bad idea? You pay for the shit sandwich, you don’t get to bitch about the shit sandwich.
