Do you feel bad for him?


https://www.reddit.com/r/DiabloImmortal/comments/wcoeho/blizzard_absolutely_screwing_whale_who_spent_100k/

Many of you know who JT is. He has spent 100k on the game and was the first player ever to reach maximum resonance.

Here's the problem: His MMR is so high in battle-grounds that it is currently impossible for him to find a single game. He has searched for over 48 hours straight and can't get into a single BG. Which ALSO means, he can't do the rite of exile as an immortal either. The entire immortal group on his server (~300 people) are screwed out of the rite because he can't progress it as the leader. Before someone asks, the game won't let him transfer leadership to another player (he shows this problem in the video).

The guy spent 100K knowing that he could make a decent chunk of it back over time by streaming on twitch and making youtube content, and the VERY THING that he wants to stream (pvp) he literally CANNOT do...

TL;DR: Guy spends 100k on Diablo Immortal, Blizzard shafts him and he can't play PVP, which was the very reason he spent the 100k in the first place.

lmao

Yes he's a whale and yes he is encouraging these shitty businsess practices.

But that doesn't mean these practices aren't shitty. We should be condemning them not laughing because "it's someone we dislike."

Would be like not feeling bad for a guy who kicked a dog if Police shot him for no reason then lied in the report claiming he attacked them and then "recovered" a bunch of his cash and property.

Dude dropped 100k as an investment in streaming, not to play the game. Dude was hoping to make it rain by putting up thrilling videos like "100k maxxed diablo inferno WRECKS plebs".

The police killed a guy for no reason and stole his money/property, which we should feel bad about. Also said guy had kicked a dog previously so now we don't feel bad about the cops murdering him(but should)?

Yeah idunno maybe get a second opinion on his post.

Lol. So basically, the only way for him to actually enjoy the game would be to start over with a less extreme account, making that $100k an even bigger waste than it already was. Like, yeah, that's a fucked up situation to find yourself in, but it's fucking hilarious to read about.

It makes it at least 6 times as funny that youre comparing a dude who wasted money on a smart phone game to an extrajudicial murder victim.

To be clear, this was the intention all along. This dude isn't a poor gamer being grifted by a greedy gaming company. It's a dude who tried to grift but didn't put enough forethought into the grift. Now he's whining, hoping to at least drive up subscribers using his pity party.

I have a few friends that have made some extremely popular iOS games. I once asked them why Micro Transactions are always priced so highly, my theory being if they charged like $1 for something rather than $20 youd get way more people likely to buy.

They all say, they are priced that high because someone is willing to pay that amount.

so no, I dont feel bad when people get screwed by this, because paying for Microtransactions is what causes Microtransactions to be in everything these days

Tbh I kinda called this from the start. If it costs $100k to completely max your character then there will be little or no content for maxed out characters because they don't expect anyone to do that

You can. Your gear pieces are used to boost you in every piece of content. So basically, he's unkillable by anyone else who hasn't spent a similar amount of money and he could destroy enemy teams effortlessly. After ranking with people a few ranks beneath him and beating them enough to rank up, he got so high there won't ever be a lobby large enough for him because there aren't enough in the lowest possible range they'll allow with him.

He got what he wanted, he won so much he can't be stopped. So I only feel bad that he found out how few safeguards there are in Diablo Immortal.
