PoE can be enjoyed casually just as much, and at no point did you have to fork out 70 clams for any of its 10 acts. You guys are trying to make Diablo 4 sound like what PoE was doing back in the day but the difference is that PoE delivered some actual value as a free game, and the optional monetization was actually optional if you were a more hardcore player, while Diablo 4 is just gonna try to milk everyone's tits from the get go.
Seems a bit naive to think that it's gonna be any different from Immortal, except with a paid entry fee.
And the $70 for D4 is for a full game full of content like most any other game. The armors in game look amazing, it has a huge campaign with a huge land mass to explore. It's a complete game, just because some upstart indy dev back 10+ years decided to release a game and make it free to play with putrid looking armors and barely any stash space, doesn't change the fact that D4 is complete game worth it's price. If you don't want to buy cosmetics, you don't have to. Let the "whales" do it so that we can benefit with updates, patches, and expansions. It isn't the end of the world, Indys will keep making games too. I forked out $150 for PoE. The stash tabs, mat stash tabs, and one set of armor cost me that much. So no, it isn't free for most at all. It costs MORE than a buy to play game for most but the most casual arpg player.
