Diablo Immortal: Player pays over $15,000 for a rare item & destroys it
Streamer Quin69 paid over $15,000 to get a 5-star gem in Diablo Immortal. When he finally has it, he destroys it.
As befits a mobile game, Diablo Immortal is a free-to-play title funded through in-game purchases. Players can sometimes spend $100,000 to fully equip a character. Of course, Blizzard’s action RPG also has loot boxes where you don’t know what you’re getting before you buy them. Now the New Zealander Streamer Quin69 spent over $15,000to get a 5-star rare item.
Financing of Diablo Immortal for Blizzard apparently “worthwhile”
As the streamer explains in the video, he uninstalled the game right after spending more than $15,000 on the virtual gem. However, he realized that he still hadn’t taken a screenshot of his achievement and reinstalled the game. In protest, he used the 5-Star Gem to charge a 1-Star item, intentionally destroying his 5-Star Gem in the process. Finally, he completely erased his hero so that he cannot resume the game. With his action, Quin probably wants to draw attention to how easily money is pulled out of players’ pockets and how little he thinks of the financing behind Diablo Immortal.
In Diablo Immortal Players can equip their character with up to six gems. Elder Rifts can be made more difficult with Rare and Legendary Crests, which reward Legendary Gems. In addition to Legendary Gems, there are also Awakened Legendary Items and Resonance, which offer even more power. Of course, numerous gems and items can be bought in the in-game shop in exchange for real money. The financing model seems to be worthwhile for Blizzard, since 24 million US dollars in sales could be generated within two weeks, at least according to the extrapolation.
