I pre-ordered Diablo 4 deluxe edition because I know I will pour 100's of hours in to the game.
I will however never buy any battle passes or other store items because of it not being free to play.
But isn't the deluxe edition just the base game + battle pass + plat? Kind of contradicts your second sentence. I bought the base game, and am still confused what all the options are/were. But reading over it all again since the first season drops in nine days, I think a battle* pass is a bunch of cosmetic shit, store credits, and a 20 level boost. Supposedly all stuff that can be ground for in the season (after having bought the base game, of course),
True, but I only bought for the beta and early access. It came with it. But im not going to buy any additional ones. I don't care about the cosmetics, only the one's you can unlock through gameplay I will go for.
It would have been nice if they went the Fortnite route, so that you can earn enough currency through the battle pass to buy the next one. If you don't spend it all in the store on cosmetics.
Blizzard of course develops World of Warcraft, and it has a mechanism to buy game time with in-game currency (or at least used to). So it's interesting they have no way to in D4. Though I guess they really fucked it up in D3 with trying an auction house there early on.
