Diablo Immortal was announced amid jeering and furious memes, but the game enjoyed a positive vibe when it was finally released last week. However, as more gamers plow through the story, they’re finding it harder to avoid the dreaded microtransactions. The tide is predictably turning online.

Diablo Immortal has loot box mechanics, but they’re dressed up in a way that you won’t realize what they are at first. The game features rifts, which are like mini-dungeons where you can find legendary gems to enhance your gear. However, to increase the chances of legendary drops in the rift, you have to apply legendary crests. You only get a few of those for free, so you have to buy more with cash to continue boosting your stats.
