The Battle.net game store launched the promised transition to hryvnias from May 4, adding Ukraine to the European cluster. After a short pause due to sanctions against Russia , Ukrainian gamers can buy games for the national currency. But the store decided to make the prices the same as for Europe, simply by converting the cost from euros to hryvnias. Thus, most games have become much more expensive.
Message from the editor: Our defenders from the 3rd separate battalion of the UDA, who are in the Zaporozhye region, need things to resist the enemy: quadrocopters and smartphones to control them, night vision sights. Details for transferring funds to a monobank card – Katerina Kolonovich, card number 5375411505235312. Please join the fundraising. Glory to Ukraine!
If you compare the old prices for Diablo Prime Evil Collection, you used to pay about 1360 UAH (2999₽). Now the cost of the kit is 1999 UAH (approximately €64).
Previously, for Ukraine, the cost of games was shown in rubles, which caused outrage among users. With the outbreak of a full-scale war, Battle.net blocked all payments from Russia and Ukraine, and then announced support for the hryvnia . Apart from the addition of a new currency, there were no other changes: the Ukrainian language did not appear in the store.
