The MMORPG Diablo Immortal is heavily criticized but brings in a lot of revenue. Now 129 servers have been closed, as the number of players is decreasing.
Blizzard made a lot of money with Diablo Immortal. At the end of July, a report spoke of 100 million euros, according to colleagues from mmorpg.org.pl, it is now said to be even 300 million euros.
Although the game has always been under strong criticism, it was especially a big success in Germany. The criticism was mainly about the monetization. Certain content and progress were tied to items that could be purchased:
- For this reason, there was always dispute about the legendary gems in Diablo Immortal.
- Well-known Twitch streamers like Asmongold and Bellular Gaming also describe the game as Pay2Win.
What has happened now? Meanwhile, Blizzard has closed the first servers and has promised strong rewards for the server merge.
In a second wave of closures, a total of 129 servers have now been closed, including several German ones. We will explain what you need to pay attention to and which servers are affected.
