Diablo 4 season pass doesn’t give enough in-game currency to buy cheapest in-store item

At this point, most popular online games rely on a seasonal battle pass model for recurring income. Diablo 4 is no exception, but while other battle passes give players enough in-game currency to purchase the next season's battle pass, the Diablo 4 battle pass doesn't even give players enough currency to buy the cheapest cosmetic item in the store. 

As we saw with Overwatch 2's store, Blizzard is once again selling new cosmetic skins at pretty ridiculous prices, with armour sets costing as much as $25 in real-world currency. Completing all tiers of the battle pass in Diablo 4's first season will net you 666 Platinum, which is very on-brand for a Diablo game, but unfortunately, that amount is not enough to pick up even the cheapest item in the cosmetic store, as the lowest price is for an item is 800 Platinum.

Platinum is sold as a microtransaction currency in Diablo 4, with packs starting at 200 Platinum for £1.79, or 500 Platinum for £4.39, neither of which is enough to buy anything. For 1000 Platinum, you're looking at £8.39 and from there, things take a big jump, with the next pack being 2800 Platinum for £20.99.

As much as I have enjoyed Diablo 4 since launch and still enjoy the game to this day, the prices of in-game currency and skins, on top of the battle pass, is a bit much. The free tier cosmetics in the season pass are very low effort to boot.
