In the latestDiablo 4update, Blizzard fixed an issue that prevented players from checking out their purchases in the in-game shop. While error codes, bugs, and framerate drops plagueDiablo 4more than a the best poison Imbued Rogue build, we truly have Blizzard to thank for finally allowing us a seamless in-game shop experience… Really though, are we surprised that Blizzard prioritized microtransactions over fixingDiablo 4?

AllDiablo 4patch notes 1.0.2.42192 changes, explained
Legitimately, the only update thattheDiablo 4patch notes 1.0.2.42192 brought was an update to the “checkout flow” of purchasesin the in-game shop. Today marks the official release date ofDiablo 4, and Blizzard has the audacity to fix the in-game shop for all the new players instead of fixing their servers.
If you’ve tried to log intoDiablo 4recently, you’ll know that there iserror code 315306,error code 300008,error code 316719, a“Queued for Game, Star Game Pending” bug,error code 395002— and I could keep going!Diablo 4was in open beta for a while — it even had a Server Slam a week before the early access went live — but in spite of all that,theDiablo 4servers are still busted.
It’s a shame thatBlizzard chooses to prioritize monetization over creating the best gaming experience possible, which especially sucks becauseDiablo 4is a genuinely fun game. Hopefully, the nextDiablo 4patch notes we get aim to fix many of the server errors and bugs. However, I won’t be holding my breath.
Hopefully, you can somehow skate past the currentDiablo 4errors and focus on enjoying the game. I’m still holding out hope thatBlizzard gets better by focusing on fixing their buggy gameinstead of fixing the in-game shopping cart. If I can’t even get in the game, what makes you think I can get to the in-game shop? Whatever. Blizzard, I’m not surprised, but I hope one day I will be.
