This is what it ultimately comes down to, yet the approach is what I disagree with. “But wait Den, I wanted a PC release of the next Diablo game, not this mobile Pay-To-Win game!”

Just like a mobile game of Diablo affects nobody who likes the Diablo franchise. You might be asking why I changed my tune, and frankly, it was the sudden realization that a mobile game of C&C affects me in literally no way at all.

Obviously, I wanted a PC C&C like 99% of the people who play the game, but alas. Obviously, I wasn’t happy about it, but the game isn’t for me, and that’s okay. Now, I’m no stranger to being outraged over things that I shouldn’t be outraged over, like when EA thought the best to way to bring back the Command & Conquer series was through a mobile game.

Gamers everywhere are finally turning on Blizzard after years of good faith built up through Overwatch, and why? Because a mobile game for Diablo was announced. However, that was a re-release of an old expansion for the original World Of Warcraft and only has 374 user reviews, so it can’t be directly compared to Diablo Immortal.Note: the views expressed in this article are solely that of the author’s and does not represent the views of MP1st and its staff as a whole. It was lambasted at launch for its numerous bugs, missing features from the original game, and a lack of new features that were promised beforehand.ĭiablo Immortal is admittedly tied with World Of Warcraft Classic: Burning Crusade though. That ‘honour’ originally belonged to 2020’s Warcraft 3: Reforged, which holds a user score of 0.6. This brings its average user score to a dismal 0.5, making it the lowest rated Blizzard game on Metacritic. At the time of writing, only 103 of the 2,729 user reviews are positive, with 15 being mixed and the remaining 2,611 of them being negative. While it’s still possible to do so without spending any money, it would require you to play the game for at least 10 years.Īs a result, fans took to Metacritic to express their frustration. It’s also been claimed that fully upgrading a character costs over £80,000. This has led to accusations of it being pay-to-win, something Twitch streamer Asmongold demonstrated himself.
