Diablo 4\u2019s Lunar Awakening event called out for \u201csleazy\u201d cosmetics tactics Blizzard EntertainmentDiablo 4 players can\u2019t help but question why art for the Lunar Awakening event\u2019s free cosmetics also features paid items. Diablo 4\u2019s Lunar Awakening event launched on February 6 and will continue until February 20. That gives players two weeks to grind through the challenges for a chance to unlock exclusive rewards, including cosmetics, gold, and Greater Awakened Spoils. Of course, many users especially have their eyes on the various cosmetic rewards. One such prize promises a Magic Wand, the Lunar Scepter. Meanwhile, another comes in the form of a Magic Two-Handed Axe dubbed The Dragon\u2019s Courage. There\u2019s a bit of confusion surrounding these offerings, though, as six items were promoted as free unlockables. While users will receive their freebies during play, some aren\u2019t happy about the way Blizzard marketed the rewards. Diablo 4 players call out \u201csleazy\u201d marketing for event cosmetics Days ahead of the Lunar Awakening start date, Blizzard showcased the event\u2019s exclusive cosmetic rewards. One image, in particular, featured text noting that players would have the opportunity to unlock \u201c6 different lunar-themed cosmetic rewards.\u201d However, the image showcased eight items. Reddit user 5al3 called attention to the graphic in a recent post, wherein they highlighted that the photo includes two paid cosmetics. \u201cSo this was a f***king lie\u2026 Turns out two rewards shown among free event cosmetics are paid after all,\u201d they wrote. While many agree the imagery sends a confusing message, one person chimed in with, \u201cActually, they said\/say six cosmetics, but you don\u2019t know which of them are these six\u2026\u201d Even with this in mind, 5al3 wondered why Diablo 4\u2019s free and paid cosmetics were all placed in a graphic promoting free content. \u201cMisleading, scummy, sleazy, cutpurse tactics. Shameful,\u201d the original poster replied. Others argued that all event-exclusive items should be rewarded at no cost since the game already features paid cosmetics. One person who relayed this thought added, \u201cI\u2019m just not even bothering with the event if they\u2019re gonna piecemeal the cosmetics. That\u2019s so scummy of Blizzard.\u201d There\u2019s no telling how Blizzard will respond to such critiques with feature seasonal events.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
