So Blizzard placed the 'Activate Premium Battle Pass' button right next to the button you have to constantly press to check your Season Journey. Guess what happened to me and at least 5 others on my stream. This is straight up Malicious Design. Diablo

When you go to the Season tab, the default selection is always 'Activate Premium Pass'. They knew exactly what they were doing.

I'm a clown for holding out hope for this game. #DiabloIV

@Diablo When a UI element is designed to trick you into clicking it, it's called a "dark pattern." IMO Blizzard needs to add a confirm button or something if they don't want to be accused of using dark patterns. Simple "confirm" pop-up would fix this.

@Diablo Is one-click purchase even legal? I feel like the EU at the very least would have something to say about this.

@Diablo Clowns like @PezRadar @RodFergusson and @rhykker probably think it’s “good for the health of the game” or some bullshit. What a gross design. The more I see from the launch of S1 the more glad I am that I uninstalled

@Diablo @PezRadar @RodFergusson @rhykker Rhykker is not responsible to Diablo IV UI design.

Ah, another streamer crying. Dude, it's a ten dollar battlepass, and because you'll probably play the game 16+ hours a day, it doesn't seem worth it to buy the 25 dollar one, not that you couldn't afford it anyways. Sure, it sucks cause you wanted to save it for another season, but this is just more typical millennial crybaby shit.

@Diablo Epic Games got in a lot of trouble with the FTC for doing something similar. All items are now hold to purchase, which includes both v-buck premium currency and battle star earned currency items.
