Diablo 4 players outraged with \u201cpredatory\u201d Season 1 Battle Pass Blizzard EntertainmentAfter already coming under fire, the Diablo 4 Season 1 Battle Pass is in hot water with the community once more after a shocking revelation was discovered about the seasonal system. It was a long time coming, but Season 1 of Diablo 4 is well and truly in motion. It arrives with a ginormous patch that Blizzard themselves have said will \u201cnever again\u201d happen due to the public outcry to the nerfs it introduced. Another heated topic has been the nature of the Season 1 Battle Pass. Adhering to the typical, standard live service structure, the feature allows D4 users to pay real money to acquire a season-long pass filled with cosmetics and rewards to earn. However, it\u2019s not only been described as having a \u201cmalicious design\u201d due to its nature, but it\u2019s now being labeled as \u201cpredatory\u201d too. Diablo 4 Season 1 Battle Pass coins are \u201cscummy\u201d In the words of Diablo 4 Reddit user jessewperez1: \u201cWhy 666 coins in the Battle Pass was mathematically the scummiest amount Blizzard could have given.\u201d Their statement was backed up by a detailed explanation and breakdown of why Blizzard\u2019s decision-making process behind this extends far beyond the novelty of the pass offering 666 coins. \u201cSo we already know that no item in the shop costs 666 coins so you can\u2019t even buy anything with the coins from the pass. But did you know this gets even worse? With a price of 1000 coins per Battle Pass, getting 666 coins means that on your second pass, you\u2019ll have 1332 coins. Great you can get a pass and have 332 coins left over. However, on the Season 3 pass, getting 666 coins means you will have 998 coins. That\u2019s exactly 2 short of getting another Battle Pass and no doubt this is intentional.\u201d The OP explained that they would really \u201clove [it] if someone from Blizzard actually discussed the Battle Pass and their predatory mechanics at any of these fireside chats.\u201d One of the top comments offered a simple solution that was roundly upvoted by other D4 users: \u201cEasy fix: Don\u2019t buy any Battle Passes?! You\u2019re welcome.\u201d Whether the community opts to forego Battle Passes following this realization is up to each user. But changes are being made, highlighted by the controversial \u201cNightmare Dungeon difficulty spike\u201d being swiftly resolved.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
