The lesson: It might make sense on paper to try to monetize Diablo's loot Diablo IV Gold. However, as soon as you do this, you're draining enjoyment out of the game. This is the same for Diablo Immortal and it's apparent before you hit the endgame, due to the fact that it is a fundamental part of the game's gameplay. The drops of loot are less important as character development is artificially throttled and thinly spread over too many systems which are too gritty and too fine. It has been more artfully concealed than when Diablo 3 was launched. Diablo 3, but it's similar to a boring and boring game. The purchase of a battle pass or spending huge amounts on legendary crests won't do much to get an awesome item drop isn't as exciting as just getting one.

I'm not sure if it is a way to isolate the fundamental elements that make Diablo fun from the mechanics of free-to-play commercialization. If it is, Blizzard and NetEase have not found it. They've made a mobile Diablo game that's fast as well as enjoyable and quite generous at first. But if you spend enough time playing, there's no way to deny that the essence of the game has been cut out from the game, cut up, and given back to you piecemeal.

Diablo Immortal is not nearly much worse than a free-to play Diablo could be. It's true that the game will be raging at you at every turn with a thousand different microtransactions that come in all kinds of mysterious currencies. You'll have to grind your way to winning, particularly if you choose not to make a purchase in the game. What you will get for doing this is a weaker than the original, reheated version Diablo II's narrative.

Yet, despite all its flaws, I loved Diablo Immortal more than I disliked it buy Diablo 4 Gold. It still has all the aspects that make this series great, from its action-packed gameplay, infinite character customization as well as its strong sense of setting, and its constant stream of new and interesting loot. It's true that Diablo Immortal even has several clever gameplay tricks which I hope Blizzard keeps in place for Diablo IV.
