A player seems to have inadvertently taken out a loan in Diablo 4!
Relative_Yesterday70 finds themselves in a strange position, as their Platinum numbers are in the negatives. As you can see below, they seemingly owe Blizzard 1,500 of the premium currency (the equivalent of around 10-15$, depending on bundle).
What’s Going On?
Relative_Yesterday70 didn’t buy any Platinum and just used the free Platinum they accumulated from the Battle Passes and Reliquaries to buy some armor that was on sale. While it’s not exactly clear what happened, there are various theories on just how this might have happened. What seems most likely is that the game didn’t take the sale part of the armor purchases into account, instead calculating the full prices of the cosmetics.
This isn’t exactly benign either – presumably Relative_Yesterday70 now can’t gather more free Platinum, as any new additions will simply “pay off” the negative amount! At least Blizzard isn’t charging them interest. Hopefully, this resolves itself, or it’s just a simple visual bug, and the next change in Platinum amount resolves it.
