Diablo Immortal finds itself under a barrage of criticism from many fervent fans.
Despite its pioneering status in reviving the open-world gaming trend, Genshin Impact has recently faced its fair share of scrutiny. Issues such as delays in updates and content releases, along with a perceived stinginess in in-game rewards, have led to considerable backlash against miHoYo. Curiously, Genshin Impact has frequently been juxtaposed with Diablo Immortal, another open-world juggernaut recently launched by Blizzard.


Historically, Blizzard products have been regarded as industry benchmarks due to their commendable balance. However, recent turmoil and controversies have tarnished their reputation significantly. A prime example is the launch of Diablo Immortal, which received a barrage of one-star ratings and unfavorable reviews from numerous gamers. Understandably, frustration stemmed from the game's adeptness at monetizing its player base, leading many to feel disillusioned.


As some early adopters have attested, Diablo Immortal not only poses significant challenges in acquiring gear but also presents formidable obstacles in upgrading existing equipment. In some cases, certain items even require monetary transactions to enhance success rates. Many gamers have lamented that to progress meaningfully in this game, substantial financial investment is almost unavoidable. In simpler terms, despite being free-to-play, enjoying Diablo Immortal to its fullest extent often necessitates substantial monetary input.

To put it into perspective, achieving a full character set in Diablo Immortal could potentially cost upwards of $110,000 (approximately 2.5 billion VND). Alternatively, opting for a non-paying approach would entail an estimated time investment of nearly 10 years. This stark reality has contributed to the unexpected praise for Genshin Impact in comparison to Diablo Immortal. After all, in Genshin Impact, players can experience the game comfortably without spending a dime.
