Diablo Immortal Sees Huge Backlash Over Pay-to-Win Elements
People do like having a Diablo mobile game...
prevnextI quite like Diablo Immortal cause I always wanted to have a game like that on mobile, whether it’s my phone or an iPad, that’s awesome. The aggressive pay to win strategy, boy that’s a bit too much.

...but the pay-to-win elements are too much.
prevnextIt’s a real shame too. There isn’t much I love more in the gaming world than Diablo, so I was ready to give it a real chance and toss them some money for cool cosmetics and stuff.
Pay to win though? NOPE

Not a great introduction to the series!
prevnextFirst time I actually play a Diablo game (@DiabloImmortal) and it's fun but I do understand the pay to win situation, which is a no go.

The greed is too much for a lot of people.
prevnextDiablo 2 Immortal is so pay to win its disgusting. It’s a stain on the world of gaming. It’s beyond greedy. The gameplay is actually fun but the fact you are stuck behind these constant paywalls makes it so scummy.

If Blizzard can fix the PTW elements, maybe it can save the game.

Some are worried what this might mean for the industry as a whole.
prevnextMobile games and their pay to win microtransactions have ruined gaming as a whole, just look at Diablo immortal. Garbage.

The news isn't too surprising.
prevnextWhy are people acting surprised that Diablo Immortal is pay to win lootbox garbage? That's been obvious from the start.
