Whoopi Goldberg has gracefully accepted the “Key to Hell” from the Blizzard Entertainment team one year after calling them out over the release of Diablo 4.As reported by Entertainment Weekly, Diablo general manager Rod Fergusson attended ‘A Night With Whoopi’ on July 20, an event celebrating the actress’ cannabis brand, Emma & Clyde. He joined Inarius and Lilith cosplayers to gift Goldberg a replica of the Diablo 4 key that unlocks the gates of the underworld.Image credit: Blizzard Entertainment.While there are no guarantees it unlocks any doors, it might be the key to Goldberg’s heart after the Star Trek actress shared an impassioned plea to Blizzard last year to release Diablo 4 on Mac shortly after she bought the action RPG and discovered she couldn’t play it because it was only available on PC, PlayStation, and Xbox.”You know how much I love Diablo. I would like y’all to let those of us who use our Apples to play… allow us to play on the Apple. Take Diablo 4 and let us do it and have a great time,” she said in a now-deleted social media video. “Give me my [Diablo] 4, because I paid for it, I was all excited for it, I went to play on it, and I’m telling you, this really p***ed me off.”Image credit: Blizzard Entertainment.Entertainment Weekly noted that Goldberg also demanded a refund, which she received after getting the studio’s attention. Fergusson publically addressed the matter on X/Twitter at the time, writing in a post: “I did not have ‘Whoopi Goldberg yelling at me on Instagram’ on my #DiabloIV launch bingo card.”Diablo 4 released last year and became a mega-hit for Blizzard despite some controversy regarding updates and monetization. IGN gave the game a 9/10 in its review, calling it “a stunning sequel with near-perfect endgame and progression design that makes it absolutely excruciating to put down.”Be sure to check out IGN’s Diablo 4 guide for tips and tricks on how to get the most out of your journey, and use our interactive map to keep track of your progress.Image credit: Blizzard Entertainment.Adele Ankers-Range is a freelance entertainment writer for IGN.
