Diablo 4 players furious as $100 Collector\u2019s Box doesn\u2019t even include game Blizzard EntertainmentFans of the Diablo franchise are outraged that the $100 Collector\u2019s Box does not actually contain a copy of the Diablo 4 game. Blizzard unveiled the release date for the long-awaited Diablo 4 during The Game Awards 2022 show with a flashy cinematic. Capitalizing on the attention surrounding the release date trailer and the general hype generated around Diablo 4, Blizzard decided to update their official gear shop with some Diablo-themed merchandise and goodies. The \u201cDiablo IV Limited Collector\u2019s Box\u201d features a candle, mousepad, cloth map from an in-game location, commemorative pin, an art book, and some fine art prints. The description also specifically states that it contains no physical game, or a code to download it digitally. This did not go over well with the community, who accused Blizzard of \u201cmilking\u201d its player base and being generally \u201cdisrespectful\u201d towards them. Players accuse the Collector\u2019s Box of being \u201cdeceptive\u201d Josh Strife Hayes posted a tweet regarding the lack of actual game in the Collector\u2019s Box, and reactions have been overwhelmingly negative, with some even accusing Blizzard of being \u201cdeceptive\u201d on purpose. \u201cMost people will assume the game is included and be very very upset,\u201d comments one of the users. \u201cThere are going to be a lot of returns and many store employees are going to get yelled at.\u201d A full-on debate broke out discussing whether or not this merch counts as a \u201cCollector\u2019s Edition\u201d of Diablo 4, since the product itself is a \u201cCollector\u2019s Box.\u201d \u201cThey don\u2019t say edition they say collectors box which feels a bit more like a bundle of merchandise from the game,\u201d says one of the users defending the actions of Blizzard. Blizzard themselves have not yet responded to the complaints, and it\u2019s impossible to tell for now whether they will actually address it, but players interested in the latest on Diablo 4 can follow our coverage of the game pre-release.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
