What’s in the video

• Premium currency loop: Battle Pass grants 666 coins, leaving players short of the next pass.
• Console UI default highlights “Activate Premium Pass,” a classic dark pattern that’s hard to undo.
• Refunds refused after accidental activation; no safeguard confirm flow for purchases.
• Seasonal Malignant Hearts clog regular inventory, worsening stash limitations.
• Always-online architecture loads other players’ stashes, cited as a reason stash space can’t expand.
• Affix bloat and micro-modifiers create artificial complexity and tedious loot filtering.
• Global nerfs (e.g., cooldown reduction, vulnerability) reduce power without solving underlying issues.
• Season Journey chores (waypoints, transmog, crafting) pad engagement instead of adding depth.
• Comparisons to other games’ consumer-unfriendly practices and regulatory penalties for dark patterns.
• Broader claim: “Old Blizzard” product sensibility is gone; retention and monetization dominate.
