According to a recently revealed vacancy from Blizzard, Diablo 4 will have something that many fans feared – an in-game store. This is stated in the announcement employee search to manage the Diablo 4 in-game store. In addition, the job posting indicates that Blizzard itself views the game as a service.
Amid the news that Diablo Immortal was the biggest launch in the history of the franchise, a decent amount of criticism of microtransactions has accumulated online, even if the game itself turned out to be excellent in terms of gameplay. In turn, this raised concerns about what could become of Diablo 4 if Blizzard wasn’t shy about using a rather aggressive monetization system.
There’s no need to panic just yet as we don’t yet know what the Diablo 4 in-game store will look like, but fans are already calling for Blizzard on social media to either reconsider or make every effort to ensure that the store doesn’t have any critical impact on game process.
In addition, the job posting says that Diablo 4 will get seasons, which is expected given the structure of Diablo 3. But in the case of a new part, each season will include a new portion of things for sale.
