I'm not interested in the idea that Diablo IV Gold will be exclusive to the Xbox because: A) Microsoft wants to sell on other platforms; and B) I don't think this acquisition deal will be finished by the time this game comes out. However, I suppose never say never.
According to reports, Blizzard's mobile-focused action role-playing game Diablo Immortal has now generated over $300 million in revenue. As an example, the immensely popular Raid: Shadow Legends made record profit in 2021, coming to $370 million.
At least financially, this puts Diablo Immortal, which only came out this summer, far ahead of the curve.The game received a lot of harsh criticism and backlash from fans when it first came out. As a result of Diablo 4's Closed Beta, concrete information about the game's features, classes, and gameplay loop has finally emerged.
Players were outraged at the game's egregious microtransaction economy and took to review bombing Diablo Immortal in protest, despite the fact that numerous reviews described enjoyable and satisfying gameplay that was consistent with the Diablo series.
Mike Ybarra, president of Blizzard Entertainment, argued in favor of the microtransactions, noting that the majority of players do not pay anything at all. However, this did not placate the irate fans, who are confronted with a system that aggressively urges them to buy Diablo 4 Gold use real money or face a massive grind.
