If you want to play modern or even recent games and indulge your locked down metwork desires I recommend getting a secondary PC just for gaming and run a separate vlan to fully separate traffic from your existing setup. There's really no realistic threat vector there barring a state level actor or something equally serious but I'm happy to be corrected.

Its not underpowered for average users, but it's not meant for professional uses beyond basic office work.

Similar to the mini they offer the Studio which doesn't have a monitor built in https://www.apple.com/mac-mini/compare/?modelList=Mac-studio-2023,Mac-mini-M2

Then for the higher end uses they offer a more typical tower format https://www.apple.com/mac-pro/

Yet the game still constantly crashes and has weapons and armor that have no effects.

The option to skip was there 20 minutes after launch until now.

It said required in the popup, but still had a skip button with no consequences.

Good point. I believe they do generate a temporary virtual card number but I'm unsure if it removes all potentially identifying information from the transaction.

My friend group all use the same one though to pollute the data.

Use cash for this strategy. If you're using credit or debit cards they can separate the data that way.

I had a similar issue and it was due to a typo in my Timezone field for Compose

It was a calculated decision

What if the new expansion is considered really good? Would you change your mind and buy it?

My dipping point was Diablo 4.

Were you a blizzard or diablo fan before then? Curious why d4 was the tipping point when D3 was potentially worse at launch, with the added insult of drops being weighted to encourage/require the use of the Real Money Auction House to make any real endgame progression. You would get more drops for other characters and have to trade for stuff you could actually use, with blizzard taking a commission on each transaction.

Then there were things like Warcraft 3 Reforged, hearthstone monetization, Overwatch 2, etc.

Desync still isn't fully fixed, although in Nov 2023 they announced stsrting a networking codebase rebuild to try and fix it so maybe in the future it will be.

In 2022 they announced they were putting desync on hold due to other higher priority issues.

This is the same team that said they couldn't add Slayer at launch because their brand new engine made it too difficult to add
