Poor analogy, Blizzard didn’t pay my internet bill, and all previous games you could play online just by buying the game. Diablo II had a single player but it was created for online multiplayer, and you didn’t need to pay a monthly fee.
Your prudery and moralism bores the hell out of me https://randomrantdispenser.neocities.org/rant04-2024-07-18

Yeah, I used to play Diablo II online and Ultima Online as well (other friends would play Tibia), all of these were created for online multiplayer as well, that’s why I thought WoW was bullshit… nowadays I understand the difference in server costs (Diablo II they basically just hosted a lobby and your character data, the game instance would run on the player’s computer and not their server, but the other two games hosted all their realms 24/7 with thousands of players simultaneously, the difference is that WoW were hundreds of thousands to millions).
Hell yeah!
If just I had CD drive on my laptop lol
Diablo II was the last time I bought something by Blizzard. When they launched WoW I found it absurd that you had to buy the game and still pay a monthly fee to play.
Ultima Online and Tibia were MMOs with persistent worlds with thousands of players at the same time and no monthly fee as well :)
But I already addressed it here: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/61742119/23805954
