Blizzard’s latest Diablo game, Diablo Immortal, has been criticized for its alleged “pay-as-you-go” mechanic.
Diablo Immortal players are tired of the game’s “aggressive” microtransactions and “money making” behavior – the scariest price of $110,000 for a full character upgrade. Fans are protesting core mechanics forcing Blizzard to play in previously purchased loot boxes, and the game store’s Eternal Orb pack not having enough currency to purchase anything.
Money has become such a meme among creators that many keep an extra counter for how much money they spend on their screen.
This is just the tip of the iceberg.
For longtime fans, critics, and gamers, the answer is a resounding “yes.” Diablo Immortal is a “nasty” paid profit. Today, Diablo Immortal has been called a “cheat”, “infamous”, “tactic” and “other software designed to steal from children”. [parents’] Silver. “
The game currently sits on Metacritic with a user rating of 0.5. While it’s surprising that the game received no awards due to the apparent “0” controversy, some certainly seem to think it’s worth at least a “1” for its fun gameplay. But that did little to absolve him of the charges.
The main complaint behind the pay-to-win stamp is the game’s internal cashier and “Gacha” bundle box system. the normal game. It is combined with the crest mechanic and allows players to pay more for themselves.
DreamcastGuy recently posted in a YouTube video, “Diablo Immortal dies. I hope this game is a blemish in Blizzard’s enduring record,” he said, “Shame on everyone involved in this project. Shame on those who support this project. It’s very bad. deserves to be hated.
It’s not just a crack that affects it either. PvP players also feel the heat and complain on the battlefield depending on which team gets the “Great Whale” – i.e. the player who spends the most money on microtransactions.
A video shed light on the significant benefits granted to paying players in PvP. In the broadcast PvP match, Diablo specialist and streamer Raxxanterax smashed all the opportunities that could only be seen as a win-win imbalance. In the video, before the match, Raxanterax pointed to a “Whale” player who then won his opponent’s MVP title.
“Yeah, payouts and payouts totally ruined PvP,” Raxanterax said, noting the difference in power between the teams.
Blizzard Entertainment has yet to respond directly to the game’s “pay-to-win” controversy. One of the directors, White Cheng, has responded. Call from Twitch Ambassador Zizaran earlier this week, but only to find “false information” on his statement, if players can buy equipment. Unsurprisingly, this wasn’t welcomed by most – a few went so far as to call the response “insincere”.
It’s unclear if the developers plan to respond to the fan commotion.
