The High Cost of Cosmetic Items in Diablo IV: Community Complaints and Microtransactions

Diablo IV is out, so the community has the opportunity to focus both on the game itself and the individual factors that are part of it. It was clear from the beginning that Blizzard would focus on monetizing certain elements in this action RPG. Now we have a game store in front of us, in which there are only cosmetic modifications that do not define the game itself in any way. Nevertheless, they cause resentment among players, which is shown by comments on Income. The problematic factor, according to a certain part of the community, is the fact that they are simply expensive. For example, the Triune Apostate set costs 2500 in-game currency, which is roughly $25. You can also pay money for a horse.

As a result, one of the main elements of criticism is not so much the price of the individual pieces, but primarily that because of how expensive the mods are, they mostly target certain characters, reducing their overall value according to the community. The current price tag of all cosmetic elements is not small at all. According to one of the users, if a person has nothing to do with money Income there’s no stopping you from spending up to $357 in the Diablo IV store right now, and that’s certainly not where the total will end, as we’ll no doubt see plenty more visual tweaks worth spending some money on in the coming weeks, months, and years.

However, it must be said that a certain part of the community considers the microtransactions present as something fair or standard, because other projects already offer packages for $25 and no one complains too much about the price or content. The fact is that the community perceives microtransactions in a decidedly different way than a few years ago, when it was something that was difficult to accept. However, since they are here, they will hopefully help Diablo IV grow.
