this microtransactions from diablo immortal it’s been a topic of discussion for days, but developers still defend themnoting that they are purely cosmetic and do not skip the core gameplay.
Diablo Immortal cannot be sold due to its microtransactions, which are illegal in Belgium and the Netherlands. Joe Grubbhowever, the project’s lead designer reiterated that using each class requires skill: “To be successful as a barbarian, he must know how to play with a barbarian.“
The Diablo Immortal internal store offers several coins, a battle pass and various upgrades; the latter is designed to speed up the progress of the battle pass and get rewards in the Valleys. However, Grubb states that there is no way to purchase equipment or experience points: “One of the pillars we follow is to play is the best way to get stronger in Diablo Immortal.“
In short, alarms against microtransactions will be excessive and the game will follow a virtuous model where purchases are reduced to cosmetics only. Ultimately, a free-to-play Diablo will make the franchise accessible to a new audience, and that’s Blizzard’s main focus.
