Pay2Win is coming to Diablo 4 XP, Gold Obols for in Season 11 China

RovinUniverse: D3 used to have same problem, chinese server could buy exp boost and etc
lashaxoperia5917: Pay to win comes only for China, they always play pay to win games. Not for us, ONLY for China
MrEgally: There wont be p2w for Western Diablo 4. China Diablo was always different. (Diablo 3 also had p2w there and Not with US(
DanielgunKim: I don’t really care. Doesn’t affect me in the states.
123ozzy1987: RoB, what a lapse in style, your clickbait and tendentious article, 2 years to recover and a Chinese market that has always had this policy, even on D3 shop and dedicated item.
atrope: Horrible video Bait title. C’mon Rob, you are better than this.
n3cr0he11: CHINA IS P2W MARKET DUDE LMAO sun shine and night is dark captain obvious
ADesertVoice: Look Rob, I appreciate you giving us information BUT WHY THE F*CK do we need to hear from a CHINESE SERVER first about what is happening in a US GAME? This is WRONG. I do not understand why the CHINESE version has this kind of information first before what is happening in a US game. And if this is NOT relevant to the US version, WHY are you covering it for the US game?
mos9111: TIME TO GO POE 2
kamilsadowski8419: It was stated from day 1 that china ist going to get a p2w version. There is also a p2w version of d2r and poe2 in china. But there wont be any contact/exchange/trade with chinese servers. So whats the problem.
Dragothika: Don't really see the problem, the fact that its easily farmable in game doesn't make it a big issue, exp, gold & obols arent a big deal. I would like the chance to get the skin bundle they are getting in china though
peon7749: p2w has always been widely accepted in the chinese market. even POE has p2w in the chinese version. I really wouldn't worry about this to much
kiyoma2237: totally normal for a chinese localisation of a game to have p2w... ^^ its basically a different game xD no blood, skulls, rituals etc. either
ThursdayBeforeTwo: Ohhhh noooo!
bagboybrown: it's china server only, that shht won't fly in the west
Wix.7: I love to hate on Blizzard as much as the next guy, but this type of stuff isn't new, even in POE's china version have loot pet and other p2w aspects but no one bats an eye, just enjoy the game as is and stop focusing on every negative little thing.
CoL_Drake: come on thats a SUPER CLICKBAIT title that gets a deserved downvote ...
we all know all games in china have this p2w options ... thats the norm in china or korea
YouProbo: p2w has already been a thing. Now they made it a official thing. Just sayin...
Frozen_Shogun: Bro I feel so betrayed, the skin thing really gets me. The pay to win and no official leaderboard.
smiter1945: D4 is already P2W via third party websites.
PapaAwiz: This is the most clickbait nothing burger thing I've seen here in some time. If ppl want to be "upset" over this, that's 100% fine. But me personally I do not give a shit about what they're doing in China. It does not affect US servers. Will never affect US servers. Also citing that old clip isn't the own you think it is. You can argue it's cheeky & weasel like with the corpo speak. But pay for power is not TECHNICALLY the same thing as pay to win.

None of that extra xp or gold or obols is going to be something you can clearly point to within anyone's actual build or items. Literally none of it. If the Chinese players were able to pay to straight up make their characters stronger than ours, THEN you'd have a clear cut case. But all they're doing is paying extra to have a 90 day long mothers blessing event. Oh no the horror!

Seriously terminally online arpg "enjoyers" will find quite literally anything they can to be outraged about. You guys are singlehandedly bringing the entire vibe around the genre down with this constant negativity. & no I don't specifically just mean D4 either. It's all of the arpgs dealing with this stuff right now.
felipevazquez7137: If pay to win . i ll leave the game
elijahpolachek8201: Thats a clickbaity title . China / Asia always had/has / will have thiis kind of stuff for their games . Dont forget Blizzard and all other eu / us companies have to have a parent company to publish there . so it is not only Blizzard who have a say in monetization.
remingtonlahaye3798: Clickbait for sure lol
GoforceReloaded: Why you talk about china ? Different game, Different company. WoW china is already doing all this stuff and we will never had these in US/EU/AU/UK.
