“I guess I’ll have to quit broadcasting (to play the game)” (Baek Jong-won)
‘Diablo 4’, the so-called devil’s game that has caused 35 million people around the world to suffer, is showing a disastrous report card in Korea.
A photo that became a hot topic when the previous game, Diablo 3, was released, with tens of thousands of gamers flocking to purchase the game, is being criticized so much that people are asking, “Was this really a true story?”

As users continued to criticize the product, Blizzard even launched a discount offensive of more than 20% last month. A discount less than 100 days after launch is unusual. One user said, “Blizzard should be careful about the fact that previous games are more popular than Diablo 4.”
When Diablo 3 was released in 2012, it was a hot topic as tens of메이저사이트 thousands of gamers flocked overnight to purchase the game.
