Not really ragey to me, but this might be to some of you. Or it might not.

1) Won't buy the game until a crack

2) Won't play with mods

3) FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

We think it’s really going to add a lot of depth to the game

It won't. It will just make the guys with money king at this game.

The players really want it.

I don't and I know a lot of other people who don't.

Blizzard will take a small cut

Fuck you

3. is the real rage thing for me.

GOD DAMNIT, WHY BLIZZARD. I LOVED YOU TO DEATH UNTIL NOW.

 Blizzard has been on shaky ground since SC2. This doesn't induce rage in me simply because they pulled similar crap before that was swatted away because the professional esports scene wouldn't let that crap fly.

 What does make me rage is these mosquitoes. They don't seem to hit the same area twice because are the first hundred bits on my arms they are not getting touched, instead my feet being covered in terrible bites. Now there is only one place left for them to hit: my hands.

 Bites on the tips of your fingers is the worst.

Toes. Toes are the worst. Three times the worseity of fingers.

[Duke 2.0]

 I wear sandals. I had several bites behind the straps somehow and between the toes a week ago.

 Fingers are worse.

[MetalSlimeHunt]

For me, my ankle and the top of my foot is the worst spot. For some reason they're attracted to them like a magnet, I've had dozens of bites in just that one area at once.

[PyroDesu]

Just having them is bad. Damn it, histamines, why must you make them itch?

[Leatra]

Mosquito's are sucking the life out of me every night

They kind of died when they merged with Activision.

Also, the cash auction house isn't that big of a deal, really. It's not exactly a competitive game, the items still have level requirements, and it could turn out to be decent, maybe.

The always-online and no mods things is just the stupidest thing ever though.

To me the AH is reaching into the SP space more than I like. Blizzard has reasons and motivations for manipulating game play mechanics to fuel AH sales. Millions of people, playing a SP game, giving Blizzard micro-transactions. I mean maybe the market will be so glutted that stuff sells for pennies, and only bots and marketeers will make money. But it's just strikes me that a boundary is being crossed. I like SP games specifically because they're insulated from stuff like this. Now, there's no way I can get away from it. And now I won't be able to look at any drop rate without wondering how hard Blizz is looking at the potential money to be made from keeping it rare. I can't use the excuse that because I'll never get into the Diablo community, it doesn't affect me on some level.

[PyroDesu]

Makes me glad my only affiliation with them is Starcraft 2, and even then, I have the only one that I want. I don't like the Zerg, and the Protoss aren't much better.

Too bad Blizzard will have nothing to do with Valve, Steam is a much better "DRM" than just forcing you to be online. Because the only games you typically can't access without being online with Steam are multiplayer oriented ones like TF2.

Because the only games you typically can't access without being online with Steam are multiplayer oriented ones like TF2.

Even then, you can still play quite a few offline games on TF2 against bots, etc.

[Heron TSG]

For those of you with mosquito issues, there's a fun thing I found. All you have to do is scratch somewhere on the same side of your body, and it will relieve the itching without inflaming the itch-ground-zero more.

Plus, Steam is really good at knowing if you own the game or not. If it finds you don't, they will crack down. Since each game is locked to an account, it's not that hard to tell when one is downloaded. It doesn't need invasive (and sometimes illegal) DRM (*Cough*SecuROM*cough*)to tell, nor to shut you down.
