Twitch streamer Quin69 goes live 10,300 New Zealand dollarsequal to approximately US$ 6,600 or Euro 6,200 on diablo immortalBlizzard’s free-to-play game, without even buying a Legendary GemItems required to fully upgrade a character.
During the live broadcast, the broadcaster spent $25 at a time to find out what he could achieve with a large investment. As stated in the opening, he was not at all lucky and we can see his “slight” disappointment in the clip below.
Despite Diablo Immortal’s “pity” mechanic, which provides a legendary gem for every 50 legendary crests, the chances of finding a 5-star gem are still very slim. Of course, Quin69 was extremely unlucky in this situation after all, but it’s also true that this only confirms community estimates, accordingly maxing out a character in a Blizzard title would take roughly $110,000 or ten. Game year without putting your hand in your wallet.
Diablo Immortal’s monetization system was harshly criticized by the community prior to its release as it was considered predatory and too invasive in character development, even when compared to other free games.
