Shroud admits he\u2019s addicted to \u201cridiculous\u201d pay-to-win Diablo Immortal: \u201cThey got me\u201d Twitch: Shroud \/ BlizzardMichael \u2018shroud\u2019 Grzesiek admitted that while he agrees with the general consensus that Diablo Immortal\u2019s pay-to-win microtransaction system is \u201cridiculous,\u201d he\u2019s still addicted to the game. Diablo Immortal\u2019s microtransaction system has been its biggest talking point. Not only do most players agree that it\u2019s blatantly pay-to-win, but they fear it sets a bad precedent for the beloved series moving forward. Still, that hasn\u2019t stopped people from playing it \u2014 including shroud. Although he described the pay-to-win system as \u201cridiculous\u201d and feels the same way about it as most others, he also admitted that he\u2019s hooked. \u201cIt\u2019s f**king ridiculous,\u201d he said. \u201cListen, I\u2019m on everyone else\u2019s side. The only difference here is that I have a problem, and I can\u2019t stop paying for it. They f**king got me. They got me. But I\u2019m right there with you guys. \u201cI\u2019m right there with you on everyone\u2019s thoughts about the game. I\u2019m right there with you, but I can\u2019t f**king stop. They got me, dude.\u201d No wonder why he thinks uncapped microtransactions are a good thing for him. Shroud also asked fans whether therapy exists for such things. Not necessarily for himself, but for other addicts out there. \u201cThere\u2019s got to be therapy for microtransactions in mobile games. That\u2019s got to be a thing, right?\u201d For that reason, he decided not to stream it on June 7. \u201cTrying my best to stay away from you know what,\u201d he said. If it wasn\u2019t obvious enough that he\u2019s talking about Diablo Immortal, he also titled his stream: \u201cI WON\u2019T OPEN IMMORTAL.\u201d Shroud also got addicted to Lost Ark at the height of its success \u2014 a game that was also criticized for having pay-to-win elements. He spent a ridiculous amount of money on that game, too. So, perhaps he\u2019s susceptible to it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
