Diablo 4 Continues an Annoying PC Trend and Takes it to The Next Level

Diablo 4 went from the poster child of the resurgence of action RPGs in modern times to a problematic rendition of what is wrong with (and perceived as such) live-service games and their post-launch content. One of the main issues with Diablo 4 after an initially successful launch was that its seasonal model not only didn’t succeed in winning players back with Season of the Malignant, but Blizzard didn’t make some of the most necessary changes to the game and double down on this by nerfing most classes into the ground. Season 2 is much more promising, but the game is far from being out of the woods, especially as it reiterates an annoying trend for PC titles and takes it to the next level.
