Diablo 4 sales have brought Blizzard more than $1 billion. About 15 percent of that amount came from microtransactions.

    This is excellent publicity that convinces me not to even try that game.

        Never could get into that game, I do like deep systems but not so much path of exiles where you pretty much create a character that is useless then you have to make a new one and follow a guide. I do appreciate it’s existence but I liked torchlights more casual gameplay and aesthetic.

    It’s like that COD MW2 boycott on steam back in 2009. This is why things are the way they are, people will pay if they are entertained.

      Maybe thats why they sold so many microtransactions. “Surely if I spend another $10 it wont be shit”

      I barely got through the story on my first character. Every other Diablo, I did at least one full run in every class.

      And? Microtransactions were already standard for Blizzard a long time ago before Microsoft showed up.

    I don’t understand. I play Diablo 4 all of the time and I’ve never had a microtransaction. I’ve had a macro one because that game cost like $70 when I bought it, but nothing after that. Why do people do that?

      I’ve never even noticed another player’s skin. Who are they showing off for?

    And thinking that the majority of the players who spent those money are not earning their own money, it’s just sad. Same bullshit like NFT.
