On consoles, it can be easy to unintentionally activate Battle Pass. Now even Blizzard is stepping in.

Suddenly getting something that you didn’t want can drive you up the wall. Currently, this is exactly what happens to many Diablo 4 players who unintentionally activate the Premium Battle Pass for Season 1.

This problem recently became the focus of attention when the streamer Rurikhan accidentally activated the Premium Battle Pass with a single click in front of a live audience. The video was shared by Rurikhan on X shortly after (is that how you say it now?), where the post was viewed over 3 million times.

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 pic.twitter.com/99KhTR51ad

Rurikhan even goes so far as to accuse Blizzard of cheating here and considers the design of the menu to be deliberately devious in order to force such oversights. If you switch to the Battle Pass menu on the consoles, for example, you have automatically already selected the button to activate it. Then all it takes is one wrong click to unlock the pass.

Blizzard switches on

Rurikhan’s anger is causing quite a bit of attention right now and a lot of people agree with him that this is misguided design. However, part of truth is that Rurikhan didn’t accidentally buy the Battle Pass with one click

But many believe that Blizzard ensures that money is spent directly through one click and without asking. But that is not the case here. Rurikhan has already purchased the Battle Pass with the purchase of the Ultimate Edition and is simply unlocking it. The reason why the streamer is so upset about it is simply because he wanted to unlock the pass in another season.

Despite this, the huge uproar over the button caused Blizzard to intervene. Global Community Manager Adam Fletcher pointed out in a reply that the team is working on a solution. The first step is to change the automatic selection of the button.

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.

What is your opinion on this situation? Do you think the streamer is right to be upset, or is he making the problem bigger than it should be? Have you experienced something similar or can’t understand how something like this can happen at all? What would be the best way for Blizzard to deal with this? Drop us your thoughts in the comments

ude to be cut. In the end it was just cordless screwdrivers.

Not much time has passed since Elon Musk announced that Twitter would become X.com in the future. In the meantime, Twitter is literally on the ground.

Already on the afternoon of 24 July 2023, the letters on the sign of the headquarters were removed. Pictures and videos of this can be found in abundance.

Welp, @twitter name so coming off the building right now but @elonmusk didn’t get permit for the equipment on the street so

In fact, even the SFPD, the San Francisco Police Department, showed up on the scene because there was probably a misunderstanding around an unlicensed crane.

Elon Musk had announced, probably while playing Diablo IV, that the Twitter logo would be cut out of the building with blowtorches. In the end, it was just standard cordless screwdrivers.

Elon Musk changes logo – twice

The bird was shot down and replaced by an X. Musk immediately indicated that this would be a temporary logo anyway. In the meantime, an X with thicker strokes appeared (seen in the lead image), but the billionaire wasn’t satisfied with that either.

𝕏 logo is now more bolder & edgy.

As he himself wrote in response to the above tweet, he didn’t like the bold strokes and had the logo changed back. According to Musk, the logo will evolve over time anyway.
@twitter is now @x

The official Twitter handle has been switched off, the new one is now @x. This formerly belonged to a Gene X Hwang who runs a photography and videography studio.

Whether Twitter bought the handle from him is not clear. Hwang put up a tweet under the new handle @x1234567998765 and at least seems to be taking it with humour.

Alls well that ends well

Many Twitter handles like @TwitterSupport or @TwitterDev have been renamed accordingly, while various regional handles like those of Twitter Japan or Twitter India are not yet affected.

We’ll keep you posted on further changes at Twitter – or if Elon Musk plans to invest a billion dollars in a supercomputer.

Elon Musk’s apparent hair-trigger move is keeping the tech world busy. Without further ado, he has simply renamed one of the largest social networks in the world. What do you think of the new name? Do you think this rebranding might play into the hands of Meta and Threads? Feel free to share your opinions in the comments
