Finding a rare skin or item in the game drives retention for the player that earned it and others that see it and want it too. Gives the player incentive to find more or try more challenging content. Replay-ability is complimented really well with cosmetics that are found/earned in game. I have no doubt they'll keep pushing the line of what is acceptable and go further. Once more extreme lines are crossed the previous lines don't seem so bad by comparison, but even cosmetic items used to not be tolerated in proper PC games, that was also for those free to play games.

They're going to offer cosmetic items, but there's not going to be any 'pay to win' nonsense. Quoting: Theodis Quoting: Mountain ManYou're thinking of Diablo Immortal, which is your typical exploitive 'free to play' mobile game ('Do you guys not have phones?'). You could also use Lutris to install Battle.Net but I personally prefer on Steam Deck specifically to keep everything inside Steam if I can. If you get a GPU error message, just hit OK and it will run. The Battle.Net UI is cut off, but if you click about along the top of it, the app will flicker into focus giving you the install buttons at the bottom.Īfter that, you're free to install and run Diablo 4.

You may need to manually bring up the on-screen keyboard with STEAM + X, and you can use a mouse cursor by holding the STEAM button and using the Right Trackpad with Right Trigger as a mouse button. Now you will have Battle.Net set up and you can launch it in Gaming Mode, in the Non-Steam section of your Steam Library.

Right click on the shortcut again, go to Properties, hit Browse and update the shortcut to point to the ' Launcher.exe'.Right click -> Properties -> Compatibility -> Tick the box and select GE-Proton7-51-diablo_4_beta. Once added, search for the Battle.Net installer shortcut in Steam.Go into your Downloads folder in the file browser, select All Files from the bottom and then select the '' file.
