The Diablo Podcast

Welcome to The Diablo Podcast Episode 3. Blizzard recently dropped the latest Diablo 4 developer update and in The Diablo Podcast Episode 3, HCXanth, N3rdwards, and Neinball discuss its contents.

The main focus of the update was monetisation and how Blizzard plans on funding what will be a live service game. This week the team takes a closer look at what Blizzard is proposing with cosmetics, the shop, Season Pass, paragon boards and more.

The team also discusses how what is being proposed compares to other games, what Blizzard has got wrong in the past with monetisation, as well as thoughts on pricing for various shop options.

According to our currently running poll, the majority of you are happy with what’s been revealed so far.
