It’s probably for the best
Blizzardhas revealedthat their upcoming 2.2.0 patch forDiablo IIIwill include microtransactions. However there’s a catch: It won’t apply to the Americas or EU regions. So, I guess that leaves everyone else to milk thatDiablocow dry.
Here’s what the respective community managers had to say:
… some new features may start to show up in data mined information for patch 2.2.0 that will not apply to all regions. Specifically, the following features will not apply to the Americas (and Europe): A new currency called “Platinum”
While the above features will not apply to this region, players will still benefit from some of the quality of life perks tied to these additions, such as a streamlined UI for selecting cosmetic benefits like pets and Collector’s Edition wings.
Furthermore, the community managers said that Blizzard has “no immediate plans to implement such purchases anytime soon” for both the Americas regionand Europe.
So, this is a good thing, right? I would think most of us despise the whole practice anyway. We’ll just have to see how long these microtransaction embargoes actually last.
