Fuck you. Seriously! Why do you make me want things? This would be so cool.
Given Blizzard's recent track record, it would have been a waste. No sense crying over something, when the company can rarely commit to do something different and good. Not worth the blood money. At this point, Blizzard might as well be a company with a giant cardboard cut out corporate office. They ain't doing shit.

So the game is fucking huge first off. The total download is several gigs even on mobile phones. But the big TL:DW of the video above is that in order to maximize your character, you are looking at $50,000+ due to how much gem purchasing you will need to do.

Even on a basic level DI will require players to pay in order to proceed within the game at a certain point and it's basically unavoidable as free-to-pay characters will simply not have access to the stats required to push forward. Not that this is really all that surprising, everyone knew this game was going to be a cluster fuck of greed and that's why even people at Blizzcon roasted Blizzard about this game because they all saw the writting on the wall.

This game is banned in Belgum and the Netherlands were gambling in games is not allowed. And this game will make Billions of dollars out of China and from whoever else is dumb enough to pay into it.

Fuck Blizzard, they're dead to me.
EDIT: speaking of trash, why does this website suck so much on mobile?

This is your reward for beating the first boss of the game (which is the Skeleton King again because fuck originality)
So lemme get this straight. The reward for beating the first boss... is a chance to buy something?

I don't see how anyone but the most indoctrinated Blizzard fanboys can possibly defend this.

Its another mobile game with mobile bullshit, whoopie woe.

But I don't know why Blizz is getting particularly shat on more for this?

Warhammer 40k has an egregious amount of bullshit mobile games as is at this point. And Bethesda with Elder Scrolls and Fallout Mobile games

Because they're already in deep, hot water 10, 000 leagues below the seas. Acti-Blizz is an easy target too.

I call bullshit even if I wasn't a Blizz fan. Besides the whole beef with this game is because it was announced as the next big Diablo thing instead of a Diablo 4.

Then Diablo 4 did eventually got announced and revealed so all this hate on Diablo Immortal is kind of unneeded at this point.

And Blizz learned there lesson with the Diablo Immortal reveal.

In that last "Blizzard Direct" that's dedicated to Wacraft it was announced earlier that a Warcraft Mobile game was about to be revealed, so at least they didn't catch people off guard with a mobile announcement.

Nah, it's needed for a good reason. Mainline entry or not.

I highly doubt most even care. I only speak for myself though.

Lol, of course.

I welcome their game being effectively banned in more EU countries.
I say that ban will last mabye a couple of years. Then captilism worms its way through that the ban will eventually get lifted after a loop hole in the law is discovvered.

Because no one can resist money making opportunities.

Well don't expect me to buy this because 1. My phone is not up to par.

2. I don't use my phone for gaming, Just for listening to music and watching youtube.

3. Fuck Mobile gaming, and to gaming youtubers that promotes mobile gaming at all in their "before this video begins, let me introduce you to Sword Art Online" or something, you guys are part of the problem in validating mobile gaming with your promotions.

I have a sneaking suspicion that DI will be dead by then, because everyone will be drowning in D4 or other stuff that comes out by then

You know what's funny? Those same YouTubers and streamers who scream "OMG HOLY FUCKING SHIT, I'm gonna play this forever!!!" are usually the first ones to drop the game within the first week or two.

Yep. The same people who said they would play the original Titanfall for months or end, yet dropped it within the first few weeks or barely within the first month. The same people who said that Halo Infinite would have been better, if if the entire game was a battle royale like PUBG, Fortnite, or War Zone. The same forgetful and apathetic jackasses, that will hype something up and then immediately blow it off or drop it. Trying to pretend they were never interested to begin with and not lose face.

I'm not sure I get this.


Do you do the quest/boss and then earn the option to buy the drop it drops? Like if you don't buy this do you get nothing or what?
