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.

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.
