Oh, joy! Another fabulous Blizzard promotion—amazing transmog weapons for Diablo IV, cute WoW pets, a fiery mount, all for the low, low price of… living in the United States! That’s right, my fellow Europeans and Canadians, if you’re drooling over that Hateforged Blazecycle mount, you can just, I don’t know, keep drooling. Because we’re once again politely excluded from the Mountain Dew/Blizzard Party! Guess it’s time to accept that apparently, we’re just not worthy of the power of Doritos and Dew. Maybe I need to order a plane ticket with my in-game gold?
And let’s talk logic for a second: Blizzard, it’s 2024. Surely we can come up with some way for non-Americans to get in on this sugary gaming goodness? I mean, we Europeans aren’t strangers to snacking—some of us would gladly duel a raid boss for a chance at those rewards! But nope, apparently, getting a virtual tabard or pet requires specific access to an American vending machine. Makes perfect sense!
Seriously, Blizzard, we’re not asking for the moon (although if it’s a mount, we’re all ears). Just a little love beyond the U.S. borders! Let us redeem points for something over here. Or at the very least, give us an in-game NPC that charges us unreasonable amounts of gold for these same items so we can pretend we’re part of the club.
In the meantime, I’ll be here, watching the American players sip, munch, and collect rewards while we’re stuck with our sad European snacks. Cheers!
