Diablo 4 players notice that Blizzard has chosen to adopt an even stingier type of battle pass than what many were expecting.
Highlights
Blizzard appears to have been quite stingy when deciding how much of Diablo 4’s premium currency, Platinum, should be included as part of the game’s first major Battle Pass offering. Having an extra post-launch Battle Pass in a modern full-price AAA title is hardly novel on its own, but the issue this time around lies in Diablo 4’s rendition of the in-game premium cosmetic store.
Diablo 4’s controversial Season 1 has been under fire for a wide variety of reasons, not least of which are some questionable balancing and a whole slew of changes designed to slow player progression down. Yet, the player base hasn’t yet gone over all of the game’s new problems, as the limelight has now fallen upon Diablo 4’s cosmetic pricing and its premium currency model.
Diablo 4’s Season of the Malignant comes bearing the game’s premier Battle Pass feature, and one of the items that players receive for its completion is a prize of Platinum, the aforementioned premium currency.
