After 3 nightmare months of experiencing the disastrous Season 1 version, Diablo 4 has gradually become better after very timely changes from Blizzard. The number of players is increasing again, sales are less gloomy and above all, the game is receiving more support and positive comments. However, Blizzard’s ambition to bring Diablo 4 back to the top position like previous versions is still facing countless difficulties.
And one of the biggest difficulties is prejudice from gamers. Specifically, there is a very popular opinion that Blizzard’s recent products, from Diablo Immortal, Overwatch 2 to the present, Diablo 4 were all created with the main purpose of “taking advantage” of people. play, through many types of microtransactions instead of focusing on providing the best quality and experience. This is even more clearly demonstrated through the latest update for Diablo 4.
Accordingly, in the recent version 1.2.2, many players were very excited to know that there will be a new skin and fashion package for mounts. Specifically, the Father’s Judgment Collection package will bring Diablo 4 gamers an extremely unique and eye-catching new steed. However, the excitement didn’t last long, many people had to shake their heads and stick out their tongues at the terrible price, up to 75 USD for this new skin package. Remember, a game labeled a AAA blockbuster is currently only priced at $70, and so is the original price of Diablo 4 itself. Therefore, selling skins for 75 USD (nearly 2 million VND) is definitely something that not many gamers of the game feel excited about.
Of course, microtransactions in Diablo 4 do not affect the player’s experience too much as they are mainly just for fashion and aesthetics. However, setting the price too high is causing Diablo 4 to continue to seriously lose points from gamers and longtime fans.
