5 months ago, Asmongold bet with a fan for all the items in the Diablo 4 shop. Now the Twitch streamer is in danger of losing the bet because a leaked survey from Blizzard shows new Pay2Win mechanics.
What kind of bet was that? Asmongold made a bet with a viewer on his live stream 5 months ago. Asmongold said Blizzard would stop selling camp expansions for real money within 6 months.
The spectator resisted, but now Asmongold is in danger of losing the bet. The bet is all items from the Diablo 4 shop. According to Asmongold, that’s around $500, or around €450.
We took a close look at Asmongold’s life and asked ourselves the question – What defines him?
Why is Asmongold likely to lose the bet? A survey on how to monetize Diablo 4’s next expansion has been leaked. In the survey, Blizzard promises to offer camp expansions as a bonus when purchasing a premium expansion. So that’s exactly what the bet is about.
When Asmongold reacts to the leaked survey in the stream, he says he will probably lose $500 soon. We have included the corresponding clip for you here:

What kind of survey is this? Blizzard regularly surveys players to find out which, sometimes controversial, ideas can be used to expand the game. In the current survey that was leaked, Blizzard presents plans for expansions of different prices. Survey participants are asked which extensions they would purchase. The extensions offer different features.
Such a survey has now been leaked and discussed in detail in a video by YouTuber Bellular. An extension could cost between $50 and $100 and come with different features.
What features does Blizzard want to sell to players? According to the survey, Blizzard plans to offer players the following when purchasing a premium expansion:
When should this expansion start? The survey is for an expansion due out next year. Such surveys at Blizzard are usually created a year before the corresponding content is released. A lot can still happen before publication. Blizzard will certainly also look at the community opinion and wait and see how the proposed features are received. It remains to be seen whether Asmongold loses its bet.
Asmongold recently responded to trailers for Blizzard Games if they were honest.
