This has also been confirmed by users. Redditwho figured out the economics of Diablo Immortal and calculated the amount of money needed to maximize character upgrades. Raising the level of gems to the 10th will really cost the player more than $ 100 thousand. Especially considering that Dropping legendary gems from loot boxes is not even guaranteed.
At the same time, streamer Asmongold compared the number of items dropped from the Ancient Portal with and without the three Legendary Gems. He was very surprised at the result – the difference is huge.
Unsurprisingly, Diablo Immortal was not released in the Netherlands and Belgium, where loot box laws apply. In April 2018, the Belgian Gambling Commission found that loot boxes, such as those sold for real currency in FIFA Ultimate Team mode, constitute gambling. She even recommended that companies that sell them in their projects be prosecuted.
As a result, loot boxes disappeared from games in Belgium. And Electronic Arts, for example, announced that it would no longer sell FIFA Points in the country.
Diablo Immortal is out on PC, iOS and Android.
