In Diablo 4 the Midwinter Plague is currently happening. Accordingly, you can get the “Red Mare of Midwinter,” but only for money. Players find: Blizzard is quite greedy.
- In November, players of Diablo 4 sparked a debate on Reddit about who is responsible for the expensive skins in the shop.
- An expensive bundle for €64.99 also caused trouble in the community. However, the price was not as outrageous as it initially seemed.
- For the current event of the Midwinter Plague, there are thematically appropriate skins in the Diablo 4 in-game shop, including a Midwinter mount with stylish armor.
On Reddit, the user “DonutRolling” writes on December 14 that the Midwinter mount “looks so cool!” and receives over 400 upvotes for it. The post currently has around 215 comments as of December 17, 5 PM. Many in the community agree with him but also express criticism.
The Midwinter Plague is an event in Season 2 of Diablo 4. Here you can watch the trailer for the Season of Blood:
“Full-price games should include everything!”
What are the players criticizing? In the post on the Diablo 4 subreddit, the user “DonutRolling” notes that the new Midwinter mount looks pretty cool. Many users respond to his post.
The comment with the most upvotes comes from “WafflesWithWhipCream.” He writes: “Yes, if only it could be earned.. by, you know, just playing the game..” (via Reddit) In a follow-up comment, he adds:
It is absolutely ridiculous. There are a few cool cosmetic items in the game, but they’re not as great as those in the shop. It would really be nice if you could earn some of those fantastic designs through in-game activities.

The user “smush81” comments: “Shops with cosmetic items should only exist in free-to-play games. Full-price games should include everything! So greedy, Blizzard.” And “King-Valkyrie” points out: “I didn’t mind buying cosmetic items in Monster Hunter because they cost €0.99 and were really cute. However, the price of cosmetic items in Diablo 4 is insane.”
Which mount is being referred to? The Reddit post is about “The Red Mare of Midwinter.” You can currently get the bundle of mount and mount armor for 1,800 platinum in the Diablo 4 shop. This is approximately €18. It will be available for another 16 days, until January 2.
On January 2, the Midwinter Plague in Diablo 4 will also end. The event offers you new mechanics, items, and rewards that you can earn throughout the winter days. The “Midwinter Proves” are a central theme during this time.
To collect and trade them for items, you will need the three new resources that you can farm in Kyovashad. What you need to know about this can be found in the post:
