Anecdotal, but the battle pass is what finally killed Dota for me. Got badly burnt out and wrote off the game. It led to me avoiding battle passes in other games and, eventually, online gaming in general.
I was also a Diablo person, and due to the Blizzard shenanigans + microtransactions/battle passes I didn’t even bothered to watch the trailers.
It’s pretty neat to get older and realize you can do things at your own pace, spending years playing amazing games from your library and not falling for the “hype” (or should I say, marketing) of gaming.

Thank you for reading. Have an awesome day!
Hey I think you used your password as your username, it appears to me as ******
No, my password is AzureDiamond
Wait, doesn’t look like stars to me
Agreed.
But not only for older titles to avoid the hype. I can just as well buy a hyped up game, as long as it’s a story driven stand-alone game.
Right now I’m enjoying the hell out of Tears of the Kingdom. My pace, my way, when I have the time for it.
You have an awesome day, Good Sir.
