    Expioitation.

    An exploration and teaching course in psychological manipulation, inculcating addiction, and loss of ethics. A wayward departure from fantasy and gameplay as valuable experiences.

    No engagement of thought for players.

    I don't have a phone, but I do have self-respect. Something Blizzard lost a long time ago. But if the idea of a retread Diablo 3 that you have to constantly flush money into in order to play on any level excites you, hey, give me your money instead and let me hit you with a brick. It will be a lot more fun than this piece of crap game, trust me.

    Blizzard and NetEast have put their heads together for the past 4 years, but sadly have developed a heavily stripped down husk of Diablo 3. The game fails to expand on the story, develop its characters or add to the world building of the Diablo series. While the lack of innovation or depth to game design and mechanics can be forgiven due to mobile limitations, the most egregious sin is the adoption of freemium monetization. This, by far, has been the worst aspect of Diablo's mobile development as it is a poor value proposition for players on PC. The contrived time gating of progress creates a loop of unrewarding gameplay, and spotlights the glaring lack of player agency and choice in Diablo Immortal.    … Expand

    I was almost tempted to give a 1/10 for the effort of making a PC port but the evil and predatory monetization which is designed to pray on individuals prone to addiction is just too strong.
    Don't play this and give it a 0. We need to discourage this behavior.

    - Immoral and illegal P2W tactics.
    - Shallow and repeatable Gameplay after a couple of hours.
    - Lack of Builds and diversity.
    - very cartoony aesthetic for a Diablo Title.
    - A Mediocre skippable story at best.
    - Lots of D2 and D3 bad nostalgia tricks

    This game is trash even if you remove the predatory monetization schemes..and a disgrace to the
    Diablo franchise legacy.

    I can see why they'd ask that obvious rhetoric question, instead of admitting why they didn't want to release it on PC. The type of predatory "addictive player spending" structures in this game, are looked down upon on PC. It's also their interest to be attached to your phone, since you're easier to monetize that way.

    I can see why they'd ask that obvious rhetoric question, instead of admitting why they didn't want to release it on PC. The type of predatory "addictive player spending" structures in this game, are looked down upon on PC. It's also their interest to be attached to your phone, since you're easier to monetize that way. Anyone who says "you don't need to pay money, and it's your fault if you can't keep yourself from spending" isn't being fully honest with you. They can also argue "it's your fault that you're stuck in traffic if you drive to your job, instead of walking or riding the bicycle" but that's not really a "good faith" argument, is it?

    To anyone who says "you don't need to pay money to play it" or "too bad people can't ignore the monetization" you're ignoring that the issue isn't paying for a game. It wouldn't be an issue if this was a $30-60 game, and we only had to pay a one-time fee to unlock the full experience. You're also failing to recognize that they design the monetization to be ****Incredibly difficult to ignore / avoid / resist****

    They hire psychologists, to try to get every possible monetization hook with the highest success rates of enticing a player to spend. Even just $1 is enough for them, because it's a downwards slippery slope from there.

    Their in-game reward system is designed to activate your dopamine receptors, so you get addicted to their dopamine hit. They use that as classic Pavlovian conditioning to associate the dopamine reward with their game & the in-game market--all of this happens without the player spending a single dollar.

    That conditioning means that they've created a subconscious imprint in your mind, which links a dopamine reward with their game & their in-game shop. That's a subconscious link, which they purposefully intend to exploit. They do that by "starving" you of the dopamine hit & sensory excitement which they had been giving you.

    As you play longer, they slowly reduce the amount of "free rewards" you receive, and create a subtle expanding delay between rewards. The player doesn't notice this, because the system was already organically introduced in most modern games (think of the leveling/exp system). However they use this organic system to starve you of a "reward" which they conditioned you to expect. It makes you start craving it more and more intently. At that point since you already subconsciously associate their game shop with the "reward", you'll start to subconsciously open the game/shop in search of another "reward" hit or more in-game resources. This can even happen when you might just be bored, or exhausted, and your brain wants a quick "pick me up" then before you know it, you've opened up "Diablo Immortal" all on auto-pilot. This can happen simply because you started feeling anxious/bored/hungry--meaning that you don't need to actually have an actual desire or intent to play the game, in order for you to open the app as an auto-pilot behavior. That's what the predatory addictive "hooks" accomplish in mobile games.

    Again, you don't need to spend a SINGLE unit of currency, for this addiction to take root. You only need to play for longer than a week. Before you know it, you're wanting to spend money on the shop. Eventually you reach a point where you've spent $100-5,000 on a SINGLE game throughout an entire year. Don't believe me? Well just look at how much money they're already making on platforms outside of PC.

    That's the reason they wanted to make it a mobile-exclusive game. IMO they should've kept it mobile-exclusive, because I wouldn't be rating it 0 as a mobile game. However, I do not want this kind of "game approach" on my PC.

    This isn't very "cash money" of Blizzard Entertainment--though it is a cash printer for them, and we're the ink. It's a negative cash money experience for the player, after they play for a few minutes or days. Like I said before, that wouldn't be an issue if it was simply a one-time payment of $30-60. However, it's a slippery slope of spending.

    After the WWII ended, there was a rise of certain phenomena among indigenous population of the Pacific, called “cargo cult”. It feels like the very same cultists were in charge of Diablo Immortal: it has superficial resemblance to the real thing, but it lacks any real substance. [Issue#260, p.36]

    Diablo Immortal is a simplified and more accessible version of the series that can still provide hours of mindless fun and entertainment. Sadly, the games suffers in the long run because of all the tedious grinding and the greedy monetization system, making a game experience that starts as very enjoyable much less so as time goes on.

    Diablo Immortal seems like a project created with the sole purpose of using the good name of Diablo to rub the players of their money. Definitely one of the worst games ever came out of Blizzard.
