It's not just the amount of money they try to get people to spend, it's some really obnoxious tactics, like NPCs telling you they "don't run a charity" (i.e. steering you into spending real money) and paid bonuses that you lose if you don't login daily (as opposed to free ones in most other games).

Neither of those sound unique to Diablo Immortal. Several games employ the "purchase a daily bonus" mechanic. Diablo also has several free login bonuses, like the daily kills and the blue crest (which granted, is a way to push purple crests, but it's still a daily free item).

This was true for earlier games that have been burned to the ground at that point.

From the arricle:

Which of the current major mobile gacha games does have this kind of exclusive pay-only items mechanics ?

Thats true. This is extra scummy. I was just talking about the cost to max out mobile gacha games.

I would have thought so but it does seem to be on the worse end. Battle passes aren't even account wide. You need to buy per server.
