Diablo IV’s Latest Microtransactions Include a Dead Goat for 1,800 Platinum

[Tsing]

Uh, time to call PETA? Blizzard has refreshed the Diablo IV shop with new items to celebrate the launch of Season of Blood and Diablo IV's arrival on Steam, revealing a new collection of animal accessories for each class that players can spend their Platinum (read: real money) on. Some of the animals that are being sold include a bear cub for Barbarians, an owl for Druids, a cat thing for Sorcerers, and ferrets for Rogues, but the weirdest of them all, perhaps, is a goat for Necromancers, which, based on its lack of movement, is apparently dead. Necromancers can acquire this cosmetic as part of the "Kid Baphomet" bundle, which costs 1,800 platinum and includes an emote that allows the class to raise a goat at any time, although those wind up dead, too. Blizzard's Platinum packages include 1,000 Platinum for $9.99 and 2,800 Platinum for $24.99 USD.
