Yes, you read that headline correctly. An anonymous source in Germany leaked a mountain of new details about Diablo III today, including word that the game will feature a “real money” auction house that allows players to buy and sell items for cold hard cash. Blizzard does not plan to participate directly in this system. Instead, they’ll collect a percentage of each sale.

In other words, player versus player matches will now be decided based on who’s spent the most money upgrading their character. I think my desire to play just died.
