MMOexp: Along with complaints about the new battle pass from AventurineLe's blog


Despite a mixed launch on mobile and PC, and with Diablo 4 Gold numerous complaints about microtransactions, Diablo Immortal eventually got into shape and sees regular updates, including the new Blood Knight class just recently.By comparison, Diablo 4 had a much smoother launch and quickly became a best-seller. However, the following patches and post-launch content quickly turned the community against the game due to changes in leveling and how content was fed to the players. This fierce backlash after a solid debut prompted the developers to overhaul how they approach patches and vowed to do better for the community.The developers of Overwatch 2 also faced backlash following the release of the full game.


Along with complaints about the new battle pass and the steep pricing for cosmetic items, many users were disappointed that the planned PvE co-op mode was unavailable at launch (it was eventually added later as a more scaled-back side mode). This wave of negativity resulted in players "review-bombing" Overwatch 2 on Steam earlier this year, which became one of the lowest-rated games on the platform.At BlizzCon 2023, the Head of Xbox, Phil Spencer, also took the stage to address the community, stating that "the future of Blizzard is brighter than ever." 


And in the IGN interview, Ybarra echoed his new boss's optimism about what's to come now that Blizzard Entertainment is a part of Microsoft."You heard Phil [Spencer] in the keynote; he's all about enabling the creativity and genre-defining sort of teams that we have at Blizzard," said Ybarra. "The team loves hearing that, we love his support in that, and we have a lot of big plans that we're excited about."For more on the latest from Blizzard, check out our recap of all the latest reveals from BlizzCon 2023, including details on Diablo IV gold for sale World of Warcraft's new set of expansions.
