This week saw Blizzard’sDiablo IVhead to Steam and what would usually be a great chance for more players to access the game soon turned sour when the MMORPG was hit with waves of review bombing.
Despite being available on Steam for just 24 hours,Diablo IVis already sitting at a ‘mixed rating’ with only 52% of 974 reviews being positive. However, the negative reviews are not targeting the game itself but rather Blizzard who has received criticism over the game’s microtransactions and live-service model.

“Not worth it right now, wait for a deep sale and then it will be worth it”, read one review. “It’s a $70 game with microtransactions on top of a Battle Pass. You can get much better games for this amount with much more content. GetBaldur’s Gate 3.”
Despite only being released in June this year,Diablo IVcrashed and burned pretty quickly. As it stands, the title has 5,429 concurrent players which is considered low for an AAA RPG, especially one from Blizzard. This is almost definitely the result of the microtransaction and live-service model issues being brought up in recent reviews. Let’s just hope the MMORPG can get back on its feet soon.
