The PC version of Diablo Immortal has a Metacritic user score of 0.3, making it tied with Madden '22 for the worst-rated game ever. And it deserves it. The absolutely insane, confusing currency conversion system is even more difficult to wrap my head around than the plot to a Kingdom Hearts game.

It also has loot boxes in it, but with enough alterations to make it not fit the definition. You can do these dungeon runs at the endgame, and you can put these special stones in the door to improve the loot from the end chest. Special legendary versions of these stones (insanely rare without paying, of course) will guarantee much better drops, and putting multiple legendary stones in improves the drops even further. So in short, because there's a dungeon to fight through in between inserting the stones and opening the chest, it doesn't really count as a loot box. The game still didn't launch in Belgium and Netherlands where those are banned. Doing a free, no-stone dungeon run doesn't even have a chest spawn, just whatever the boss drops.

Also, there's near-identical versions of these legendary stones (one account-bound and one that can be put on market) in the store, so you could very likely buy the wrong type.

Immortal seriously puts every other microtransaction trash heap to shame. I genuinely don't see how anything could top it. But if there's one thing Activision and slimy mobile devs like NetEase are good at, it's innovating ways to milk wallets.
