Diablo 4 players are split on the new Skin of the Viper cosmetic set, as many believe it looks underwhelming compared to other premium options in the store. Monetization has always been a contentious topic in Diablo 4, from the Battle Pass system to Platinum as a currency. However, the main source of frustration in the community always stemmed from the way Diablo 4 prices its microtransactions. Many premium outfits cost upwards of $20, and not only are they restricted to one class, but there is also no way to purchase individual pieces.
While microtransactions for Diablo 4 have proven to be a lucrative model for Blizzard Entertainment, they will likely remain eternally controversial in the eyes of its community. Unlike Path of Exile, which relies on selling cosmetics due to being a free-to-play title, Diablo 4 expects players to purchase the base game for $70, as well as buy annual expansion packs under a similar price tag. With cosmetics and a premium Battle Pass on top of that, it's safe to say that Diablo 4 is a very expensive game, even by modern standards.
