Blizzard broke everyone’s heart by confirming that Diablo Immortal’s in-game purchase system will not be available in Diablo 4. Because the company draws the reaction of users who say that they have to spend money to progress in Diablo Immortal.
Diablo president Rod Fergusson confirmed in a tweet, that Diablo 4’s in-game purchases will be strictly limited to optional cosmetic items and purely story-driven expansions.
Diablo 4 will be released in 2023 and the development team seems to be keeping an eye on the criticism Diablo Immortal has faced. The game, which is playable on mobile and PC platforms, has a very low user review average on Metacritic, with most players citing microtransactions, which they interpret as excessive, as reasons to avoid the game.
So far, Diablo 4’s development team has been saying and showing the right things. The pre-alpha gameplay footage and strong presentation at the Xbox and Bethesda Showcase were well received by the fan base.
