Role-playing games (RPGs) before that were complex affairs for those who love Dungeons & Dragons (and therefore are also fans of Metallica’s Master of Puppets and Netflix’s Stranger Things).
That was the year I got married, and I was still in my 20s. The original Diablo was launched in 1997. That said, I managed to get early access to the game while holidaying in Sydney last month (Australia had the game a whole month earlier) and have spent over 50 hours playing the game. Yeah, we are so unimportant that we are just grouped into the Rest of Asia Pacific. Sadly for us forgotten souls in the “Rest of Asia” (Hong Kong, Indonesia, Macao, Malaysia, The Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand, and Vietnam) Diablo Immortal launches in our region on 7 or 8 July – over a month after it has hit all other major markets including North & South America, Europe, Korea and ANZ (Australia and New Zealand). So why are these PC gamers complaining about the very raison d’etre of the mobile gaming business? Over the last decade, mobile gaming has taken over the world by storm and mobile gaming’s “free-to-play” (F2P) model means it needs to offer the game for free but make money from getting people to pay for extra stuff. Diablo has always been a PC game, where the idea is that you buy the game for a fair amount of moolah and you play the game to the death at no extra cost. It’s been 10 years since the launch of Diablo 3. Hogwash, I said to myself, as I started downloading the game while holidaying Down Under (Australia, not Hell).
Diablo Immortal, the first mobile version of the hit hack-and-slash RPG (role-playing game) series, has been emasculated by many fans and critics who lambast it for failing players because of its unfair “pay to win” (P2W) game design. By now, you would have read all the negative reviews about the latest iteration of the Diablo franchise.
