Diablo 4 Microtransactions Criticized for High Cost.

Diablo 4 players are criticizing the high prices of microtransactions, which they say cost more than Overwatch 2 skins. The game includes a Battle Pass and Cosmetics Shop, but neither offers pay-to-win options. A Wraith Lord cosmetic set costs 2,800 Platinum, which translates to approximately $28. Many players are comparing Diablo 4's microtransactions to those in other multiplayer games, such as Call of Duty and Valorant. The high prices are especially egregious considering the game costs $70 upfront.
