Blizzard Earned $49 Million from Diablo Immortal in Just the First Month

Activision Blizzard announced that the next Diablo game would be mobile-only, which sparked two famous things on the internet. The famous red-shirt guy and the developers ask: Dont you have phones? Well, it seems everyone does because 49 million dollars just went right into Blizzards pockets. Diablo Immortal has been review-bombed to the ground. You can see how people are talking about the game on Metacritic. Yet, with the reviews, this hasnt stopped players from spending their hard-earned cash on the game. And Blizzard just earned $49m during the first month.

Welp

Gamers always express their outrage with everything but their wallets.

Fools and their money...

i know people are mad but

https://www.pcgamer.com/diablo-3-sells-6-3-million-3-5-million-in-first-day/

so 3.5 million in the first day, and it was what, 60 bucks at launch so thats 210 million?

but i mean, maybe the long term itll be crazy amounts. i mean all they gotta do is add more things to buy and bam, another 50 million.

Typical gamers

$49 mil is not a lot for a p2w mobile game. That's actually really terrible, considering how bad the retention of active players has been.

Difference is everyone was begging for Diablo 3.

Nobody asked for Diablo Immortal.

Wow, that's enough to max out 100 characters!

So many streamers paid so much money just to prove how predatory the game is...and in the process gave them millions of dollars, collectively.

That's it? That's like a quarter of what diablo 3 earned in it's first month.

proof we need diablo moral 4 to come out

That's so dumb. I think that doofus asmongold did that.

For comparison (june's numbers aren't out yet):

The mobile games topping the charts are pulling in around $200M a month. Genshin had it's second lowest month ever and it still pulled in nearly $100M

So for Blizzard to release a mobile F2P Diablo and only pull in $50M is... kind of terrible.

I doubt they're happy about it.

Yeah, I don't understand that at all.

Makes me wonder how much money that "$25 Rift Simulator" site ended up costing Blizzard.

Fucking whales, at least that's kind of low for a high profile gotcha

I wasnt a part of that.
