Diablo Immortal is the perfect example of how controversy can lead to a sudden rise and fall of a new release. Ever since it made the debut on mobile and PC, the latest offering from Blizzard Entertainment couldn’t manage to get a good feedback from most of the players. Still, it thrived for a momentary period, which is now seemingly over.

As per the latest trend, Diablo Immortal is fast losing a lot of streamers and creators who were initially interested in its gameplay. Now, it doesn’t seem to be the case anymore. The free-to-play title is losing its player base quite rapidly.

Diablo Immortal sees exodus of streamers leaving Blizzard’s latest offering

Just a few weeks ago, there were tons of famous content creators playing Diablo Immortal. In fact, the fresh installment in its franchise became one of the trending games of June 2022. There was a newfound interest among the players to level up their characters. And to achieve this objective, they were even willing to pay as much as they could.

However, this was probably the major reason for the fall of Diablo Immortal. Why? Because the business model of microtransactions used by Blizzard Entertainment is very deep. It has caused the majority of the hardcore players to spend higher than their imagination.

As a result, many of the streamers have now begun to leave Diablo Immortal. For example, Quin69, who previously decided to continue spending his money in the game, recently left it.

In case anyone missed it, he was in the news for spending a mammoth $25,000 just on the free-to-play title to max out his character. However, he then deleted his character and urged his fans to delete their accounts as well.

Moreover, Diablo Immortal saw yet another departure of a popular streamer in Wudijo. In one of his recent YouTube videos, he revealed why he decided to leave it. Basically, for him, it was always going to be a momentary game, going by what he said in the clip.

Meanwhile, fans also seem to agree with the streamers as they think the game is not worth spending time and money on. Under Wudijo’s video, the comments section was full of players who felt the same. They thought that the developers of Diablo Immortal didn’t do anything except make a business model to make more money with the help of microtransactions.

“Blizzard no Longer deserves our attention or money,” commented one of the viewers of Wudijo.
