Blizzard advertised the Berserk-themed update as a “free” addition to Diablo 4. However, players were quick to point out that the only meaningful content in this update—the cosmetics—is locked behind a hefty paywall. This has reignited debates over what constitutes "free" content in a live-service game.
While the update includes minor balancing tweaks and some quality-of-life improvements, the spotlight remains on the stylish Berserk skins. Yet, at $150, these items are inaccessible to many fans who already paid for the base game and seasonal content. For a game emphasizing seasonal replayability, locking the most attractive rewards behind such costs creates resentment.
Players are beginning to feel that Blizzard is treating Diablo 4 more like a mobile game in terms of monetization, pushing aggressive pricing in a premium title. The backlash could be a sign that fans are losing patience with this business model.
