The main reason why this game feels as good as it does is because there hasn't been anything like it in a long time. AAA developers seen to have unanimously gone down the route of simple cash grab games loaded with microtransactions, the recent scandal with Blizzard adding the season pass button over the login button with auto purchase and no refund options is just vile, I was wanting to get D4 but I won't be buying anything from Blizzard anymore, and I refuse to play 'always online' games anymore because good luck with disconnects and lag killing your characters.
For a long time I've been wanting more games like Grim Dawn, single player offline ARPGs, but the consensus even among fans is 'these games cost too much to make, it isn't worth the developers time to make them single player without a cash shop' blah blah blah, which Larian have just thoroughly debunked and now the whole industry is mad.
Everytime a gamer says 'lol how would devs make any money without P2W' I just cringe.
