You could buy Berserk's entire Golden Age arc in hardback for the price of Diablo 4's crossover cosmetics

Summary
Video game developer Blizzard’s first collaborative event for its latest Diablo installment, Diablo 4, is with the dark fantasy manga series Berserk.
The event involves four armour sets, a mount, and a pet, available for purchase individually or as a bundle for $149.99 or £125.99.
However, buyers could alternatively spend the money on purchasing hardback volumes of the Berserk manga, saving some money in the process.
This move by Blizzard has drawn into question the morality of the company amidst the backdrop of recent company-wide layoffs, where 1,400 workers across Activision Blizzard and Xbox were made redundant in January 2023, with a further 200 in September of the same year.
The collab is not the only instance of crossover events in games, with Destiny 2 announcing a crossover with Star Wars, showing tulmultipary events between game studios as well as questionable business practices amidst top company brass.
