New Zealand Twitch streamer Quin69 is determined to find a perfect legendary 5/5 5-star gem in Diablo Immortal, Blizzard’s new game. But even after investing around €6,000 and countless hours in the search, he hasn’t found it.
Who is this streamer?
- Quin69 is quite a brand, something like “Twitch for advanced users.” His thick accent is difficult for most Twitch viewers to understand.
- The New Zealander is probably the most well-known hack and slash streamer on Twitch: He is mostly known for his Path of Exile streams, but he also plays all forms of Diablo. He loves smashing mobs for loot and building builds. Quin69 is a core gamer.
- The 31-year-old is caught in a permanent love-hate relationship with his fans. They like to mock him as a weird dwarf; the streamer, in turn, always comes up with new ways for the fans to torment him. Quin69 is apparently a good guy, but he often goes off course with strange comments and gets banned by Twitch for misogyny. He cannot comprehend this at all.
We show you the 6 classes of Diablo Immortal – in our tier list you can see who is currently on top:
Streamer wants to prove how much of a rip-off Diablo Immortal is in a self-experiment
This is what he is doing now in Diablo Immortal: Like the streamer Asmongold before him, Quin69 also wants to prove how much Diablo Immortal relies on players investing money. To illustrate this and to show how dumb Diablo Immortal really is, he pours a ton of money into the hack and slash himself.
The Twitch streamer Quin69 says: Diablo Immortal is not a game at all. He wonders how Game Director Wyatt Cheng can even sleep at night:
He himself says:
“I am not a whale. I am a scientist. The world needs to know about this system.”
As long as 15€ rifts, until I have the gem or am broke
This is his plan: Quin69 did a stream on Tuesday on Twitch “Non Stop $25 rifts, until I have a 5/5 gem or am broke.”
The stream lasted for 13 hours. Again and again Quin went into these bought rifts: Showing the systems and his failures.
By the end of the stream, he still hadn’t gotten the gem he wanted. In total, he had sunk about €6,000 into Diablo Immortal by the end of the stream.
Even if he finds a gem that could be good, it ends in disappointment for Quin69:
On the quest for the one perfect gem
What is the problem? Diablo Immortal has a “pity system,” which is supposed to guarantee players one of the best gems, but it does not guarantee the one mega-gem that Quin wants.
He is looking for a 5/5 5-star legendary gem. The chance for that is apparently tiny. Quin69 wants to prove through self-experimentation what this “tiny chance” feels like in reality and how much money can be sunk.
The experiment is highly exaggerated and aimed at the absolute “min-maxers.”
For him, the investment will certainly pay off: During his 13-hour stream, he had an average of 22,000 viewers – significantly more than with his “normal” content. So he has made back the money.
A similar attempt was made by Twitch streamer Asmongold:
