Diablo Immortal now has the worst Metacritic user score in the website's history.

At the time of writing, the PC version of the free-to-play MMO has a user score of 0.2 out of 10, based on nearly 2000 user ratings.

Blizzard's previous lowest-rated game – its 2021 re-release of World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade – received a 0.5 score for adding microtransactions and a much-criticised faction system.

Good. It deserves it. They need to retool the entire game's monetary systems and not treat their customers like utter garbage.

 

[AV]

I'm sure they'll cry their way to the bank.

This was always about easy (mostly Eastern) profits, not making people happy.

 

[Fake]

Sometimes people care about user review score, sometimes don't.

Anw. deserved.

And despite it's poor reception will it probably still make a ton of money resulting in Blizzard Activision adding more microtransactions in upcoming games.

Now that I think about it, there were reports of OW2 becoming free to play and getting a battle pass and Diablo 4 getting microtransactions.

I wouldn't be surprised if they take alot of notes for Diablo 4, why have the players feel rewarded when you can make them pay for the privilege?

I dont even rate apps on the appstore why would i rate them on a seperate platform 100% of the non forumdwellers

And this is why people saying 'don't pay bro' or 'it's just a mobile game' are wrong and not understanding how these type of mechanics seep into other platforms and genres.

I mean, you hire the developer infamous for its predatory monetization and psychological manipulation (even by Chinese market standards) and this is what you get.

 

[Bragr]

I can't understand how they believed people would be OK with the shit they pulled.

 

[RoboFu]

by thousands of people who didnt play it. User scores are usless.

 

[Saber]

Let me guess...all those "1943 users" are haters doing review bomb.

If it was the opposite, everything would be fine.

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

Pathetic entitled man babies or whatever.

 

[strange headache]

The critic score is also a pretty low 62... not low enough, but it's something.
The gaming press needs to call this crap out way more severely!

 

[Rush2112]

I doubt mobile game fans care much about user scores

 

[Shubh_C63]

and I can't stop playing it.
Perfect for an hour stretch.

 

[jakinov]

who cares, most of the people who voted probably didnd't even play or don't even play mobile games.
