Since its release, Diablo Immortal is making a lot of headlines. The latest installment in the Diablo franchise is widely criticized for its economic model based on micro-transactions. These are almost mandatory for optimize your character to the maximum. Through a lootbox system, hack’n’slash encourages players to spend more and more to get rare materials.
Among these players are the New Zealand streamer Quin69 who tried to get a 5 star gem since the game released on June 2, spending thousands of dollars in the process. He finally received his first 5-Star Gem this weekend after spending 25,165 New Zealand dollars or 15,209 euros. Once obtained, the streamer decided to uninstall the game.
However, he eventually reinstalled the game in order to destroy the gem as a sign of protest. He used his 5 star gem to power up a useless 1 star item and then left his clan and delete his character entirely.
Uninstalling, one last time, the title, Quin exclaimed: “Fuck you, damn Blizzardthen went on to address the game this time: “Get off my computer, you don’t even deserve to stay here. Diablo II Resurrected, you can stay. Diablo III, you’re on a tightrope, but okay, I allow it. Diablo Immortal? get out of here. »
The player’s anger is understandable since he still had to 15,000 euros for just one of the six rare gems required to the total optimization of his character. To achieve this objective, it would be necessary spend more than 100,000 euros.
