A new analysis suggests it could cost players up to $ 110,000 to fully upgrade a hero in Diablo Immortal through microtransactions.
In a video from Bellular News (as reported by Game Rant), his analysis suggests that the top-level Legendary Gems, a first-class currency in the game that can be used to upgrade a post-game character, cannot currently be won from players who don’t pay for them with real money.
That way, fully upgrading a character after a game would cost $ 110,000 worth of gems, the analysis said.
What makes it worse is that currently players can’t buy Legendary Gems directly, instead they are thrown away by Legendary Crests, which are the game’s booty boxes.

As explained in a Reddit topic, the amount of money needed to complete a maximum character may be even more than expected before, as there is a whole level of upgrades that are unlocked only after a player manages to get their 5-star gems stones up to rank 10 It is estimated that it will cost about $ 40,000, according to the topic.
Once a player has done this, they unlock resonant boards, which, although not yet achieved, have been shown in preview images, which seems to suggest that the player will have to repeat the process of upgrading their 5-star gems to rank 10 several times, adding another thousand dollars.
In Diablo Immortal booty boxes, the game does not start in the Netherlands or Belgium due to the strict laws for booty boxes in these regions.
The game, which launched on mobile devices and as an open beta on PC this week, was briefly available for pre-registration at Apple and Google Play app stores in the Netherlands and Belgium, but was removed a few days later.
After asking why, the Dutch site Tweakers received a response from Activision Blizzard’s communications manager for the Benelux, who confirmed that the games will not be available in Belgium or the Netherlands.
According to the communications manager: “This is related to the current working conditions of the games in these countries.”
In April 2018, the Belgian Gaming Commission found that loot boxes, such as those sold for real currency in FIFA’s Ultimate Team mode, were gambling.
The Commission then went so far as to recommend prosecuting companies that continue to sell them in their games.
As a result, the games have either been scrapped in Belgium or not sold there at all. EA, for example, announced in 2019 that it will no longer sell FIFA points in Belgium.
