To be fair, "it takes one to know one" kind of applies here. I played a whole heap of D2, right from the launch.
I was one of the dumbasses who paid for the base game, and the two abysmal DLCs to follow, and then for forsaken.
Forked out only for all of the content to be either made free to play / taken away and 'vaulted' (not that anyone would really miss it).
Friends would keep telling me to hop back in after every expansion and I genuinely wonder how their rotten formula can still keep such a wide audience invested.
