Forget about spending real money on Diablo 4 in-game cosmetics, get real clothes instead

It should be no surprise to you, at this point, that Diablo 4 will feature microtransactions. Per Kegan Clark, Blizzard’s director of product for the game, Diablo 4 will be “a full-price game with a Cosmetics Shop and Battle Pass—none of which provide any pay-for-power options”. Much like Overwatch 2 from 2022, then, but we’re all hoping that Diablo isn’t quite as much of a mess as that peculiar launch.

You only need to take a quick trip to the online forums and social media sites of the world to understand that a lot of players simply won’t drop extra cash on games that they already shell out the full $70 price tag for. Some of the cosmetics in the game will set you back about $28 – and that’s only for one bit of class armour. If you’re curious about Diablo 4’s best classes and want to dump your Druid and start playing as a Necromancer, say, you’ll be asked to throw another $28 in the game for another cool outfit. Boo!

So why not opt for a real-life varsity jacket, instead? The jacket (in a very smart move by designers Insert Coin Clothing) has removable and replaceable patches – depending on which Class you’re maining at the moment. Fed up of your Barbarian and heading into the depths as a Rogue? Well, no sweat, just rip off the patch and replace it. And you don’t have to shell out $28 for the pleasure, either.
