The concept of micro-transactions in games is a very controversial topic. While many of the titles already have it, it seems like the latest offering from Blizzard Entertainment, in its Diablo franchise, has taken things to the next level altogether. And it’s not for a good reason at all.

In case anyone missed it, Diablo Immortal recently made its way to the Mobile platform as well as the PC. The new entry in the long-running series also features micro-transactions for players to level up in the game. However, one of its users recently found out that the price to completely max out their character is beyond imagination.

More than $500,000 is what it takes to max out your character in Diablo Immortal

Diablo Immortal runs on the business model of unlocking content through micro-transactions. Yes, one can also unlock it all by simply playing but the option is for those who don’t want to spend too much time fighting against the bosses to level up.
