Diablo Immortal fans mock the Pay2Win discussion

Last minute The world stood up after Putins decision in

The release of Diablo Immortal is overshadowed by the omnipresent discussion about Pay2Win. Almost nowhere can you find information without at least a mention. It’s getting to be too much for the fans who love the game.

This is the discussion:

Those fans who would rather spend their time gaming than complaining seem to be waking up after the release weekend. They take up the discussion and sometimes even take it with humor.

One of the biggest threads on reddit right now is a meme mocking the reaction when you actually like Diablo Immortal:

I get cynical comments like, “I’m sorry, but I’m really enjoying the game. I played Diablo 1 and 2 at school back in 2003. Diablo 3 from 2012 and now Immortal. And I manage to enjoy the game without microtransactions. I’m sorry.”

Others criticize that the Pay2Win discussion would not affect most of the players. Acceptable_Answer570 states that the Battle Pass alone is “more than enough for the casual.” It’s available for free or as a premium version for €5. If you play through everything in a very short time and then complain that there is nothing to do, it’s your own fault.

In general, the Battle Pass and the gameplay are enough incentive for most players. You wouldn’t have to pay anything. It is more important to simply be able to shred a few demons. That is exactly the point. You can also spend money in real life, demons don’t kill.

“I wanted builds and got a shit show”

This disturbs the fans in the discussion: There are also some users on MeinMMO who do not understand the discussion. The system was known beforehand and the shop is not even too intrusive. If you just want to play, you can. Our reader Tronic48 summarizes:

I don’t know what you all want. I think the game is awesome, will play it as long as I enjoy it, whether it’s P2W or not. I do not care. And when the day comes when I’m not having fun anymore, when I’ve lost interest, I just stop and go to the next game.

Those players who just want to talk about the game are particularly annoyed. When looking for builds and discussions about the game, they constantly just stumble upon complaints.

If you’re on reddit, you’ll only find a “shit show,” as TheoryOfSound bluntly complains. He doesn’t take the game too seriously, if he has to pay at some point, he just stops. As long as it is a pastime for the couch.

What exactly is the problem? The whole discussion stems, among other things, from game director Wyatt Cheng’s statement that equipment will never be available for purchase. Also in the interview on the future of Diablo Immortal, he said that the best way to improve is always to play the game.

Now, however, indirect improvements for legendary gems and the gems themselves can be bought in part in the mobile game’s shop. For a part of the community this is already Pay2Win, after all you get better values ​​for the character for money.

Cheng himself therefore had to clarify his statement again:

Blizzard promised before the release: No items for money in Diablo Immortal – they say that now
