I am not a proud man. Earlier this year, I spent $4 in Resident Evil 4 so America's Boyfriend Leon Scott Kennedy could have a cute little bomber jacket with skulls and stuff on the back—not my finest moment, but there's no undoing what's done.
Earlier in my life I'm sure you could say I spent "too much" money on Destiny and League of Legends cosmetics, but that's all beside the point. When I saw the $20+ premium skins offered in Diablo 4's in-game storefront, another of the few remaining youthful, optimistic parts of my soul quietly gave up the ghost. As Geralt of Rivia put it, it was a "last bitter drop in a chalice full of sorrow."
