it's the consumer's fault for giving blizzard money to begin with and saying yeah this is acceptable. We could've had diablo 4 we could've had starcraft 3 we could've had everything you wished for but nope morons with 0 skill want to spend 35k in a mobile game to beat people up and feel good. Whales are never actually good at games they spend to compensate for it you see it all the time with asian gacha games.
no three times , and the 3rd he himself - any grown up civilized and rational mind could see that the whole P2Win and the economy around that is scam but people are just not being rational, not being civilized and in this case I had to question even act grown up at all

I cannot fucking believe a game based on earning loot through playing has devolved into discussions about the legitimacy of unfair third party transactions and blizzard's attempted monopoly on it instead of just playing the fucking game. It's monetized and we all support it, and because we keep playing their games and buying their services we will never see a change.
Just another way the rich are screwing everyone else. The rich chads get all the women and the rich players get all the gems. Games are designed with our current society in mind. We have a problem with our society. The rich have lobbied for laws that prevent people from competing. This disallows most people from starting a business and this lowers wealth generation.
Never stepped foot on this garbage as a long time Diablo fan. It's also muddied the waters for Diablo 4 as well, likely to side step is completely. If all they want is whales...then fine, I will avoid Blizzard entirely.
The only reason I'm gonna play D4 is because it's on PC gamepass day one. It's really sad to see a beloved franchise and game company go down this road. I hope with the acquisition of ActiBlizz by Microsoft that they truely take out the trash. D4 is the last chance for me. If the monetization conflicts in anyway with the grind for loot and gems, I'm done with this shit company. I'm cautiously hopeful, like an idiot.
Diablo IV is dead for me after announcement of paid horse armor, other microtransactions and paid battlepass in a full priced game. Now blizzard is making paying experiences instead of video games.
@@LucVNO Unfortunately you are misinformed if this is how you think it works. This is not due to them being weak. They have a serious medical condition regarding dopamine and how they are rewarded, motivativated, and how well they remember things. Saying they are "weak" and you are "strong" really shows your true colors and honestly I'm not a fan of that, but it also shows how you are one of the people that allow these practices and constantly push for them.
it's one of those common things today that in the future we'll think is fucked up, kinda like how back then the church got away with burning ppl & ppl having slaves.
Saying that he is the "best" mage in the game is a stretch. He is the one who put most money in...so thats clearly not equal to being the best. You cannot determine who is the best in games like this, as there is no equal playingground.
Im sure the mage spent lots of time doing fair 1v1s, dropping gear levels to match etc.. and that's how they know. Or they play mobile games... dw buddy we all realize it too and shake our heads at the claim
I don't think they had all the money at once, and it wasn't cash. I believe these people use credit cards and it's over a long period of time....I don't think if any of these players had 100k cash they would choose to spend it in a game in one day, you know lol it's just very different
If by being the 'best' player is based on the amount of purchased gear, then yes... he certainly is the best player. If anyone who purchased 35k of RL money towards pixels and power upgrades, anyone can be the best.
The things you could buy with that money and instead you spend it on a garbage game, for what? For the dopamine rush? To pretend you're the best at something? It's pathetic but it's exactly why these games exist, because people like this exist.
Also funny thing about Diablo Immortal is how simplistic it is with 4 skills and just a couple of valid builds. So yeah, not much skill and tactics involved here.
I have lived long enough to see a game put you in debt due to not using their 'exclusive' marketplace and will say no dice to all of your stuff. Clearly a purposefully fully broken system, and will slap anyone who tries to trade when Blizzard let's it happen in the first place.
You do realize those people purchased from third party seller who sell with huge discounts because the seller commit credit card theft and selling everything cheap for cash in before they got caught, right? At least Blizzard did somethint, unlike those people at G2A. In the first place, those players should know better. Its like buying cheap car with too good of condition and discovered its been stolen. So, what are you going to do in Blizzard case then?
I can tell you never have played a gacha game before. These third party scams are nothing new and rampant in those games. They steal peoples credit cards and charge the premium currency with it.
Nah, not broken. This is their game, it's fucking stupid to think that anyone can pay another person, company, entity, etc while bypassing the game's devs and then expect the devs to not punish you for it. And then there's the fact that what they were buying was going for a significant discount. If that's not coming from the devs then there's no way that's legit. You should always think it's the worst scenario, in this case essentially buying stolen goods because it's very possible to be from a stolen credit card, stuff like this is the epitome of "a deal too good to be true." Even if it's actually someone spending money from a different currency, if you find a deal like that you shouldn't expect it to be legit and you shouldn't expect to be able to keep what you bought through some random non-authorized third party.
Why is it Blizzards fault? When u buy Something from Like a blackmarket, its your own fault. I mean, yeah, 30k is a Lot, But its your fault. No one forced you to buy from there. These People doesnt even Care where does it came from, These People does only think of themself. Get everything cheaper.
This is actually common practice in Chinese developed games. The coders put backdoors in the code so they can sell premium packs as a side Hussle. When the developer finds out, they patch the code, and hit the whales with huge bills. Then in like 2 weeks they will start offering settlement agreements to restore whale accounts. Most of these whales will jump at 20 cents on a dollar to get their account back.
I mean we all know that with the whole system blizzard build up with Immortal it's obvious that power creep is gonna happen to entice people to spend ever more money on this shit.
2 more year they are gonna make DI 2, with no change except for porting it into unreal engine 5 or something, shut down service for DI 1 and render everyone's progress null and void.
I will NEVER get tired of these stories. Hearing about these mutts giving thousands to the worst gaming company on earth and having nothing to show for it will always give me a good laugh.
Anyone who buys digital stuff like this and doesn't expect to be totally fucked sooner or later deserve everything that happens to them. You don't own any of that shit. You're paying to let the company allow you to use digital assets until they deem necessary. It's such a bullshit business model and players who are rewarding these companies are the cancer we need to excise somehow or another
You're basically laughing at people with legitimately serious gambling addictions. Pretty scummy of you to laugh at people with a clinical medical issue. Scumbag.
The thing is, by banning him, he has to spend +30k to get where he was at, while if they didn't ban him, he probably wouldn't spend that amount as extra, GOOD DECISION BLIZZARD
This is a really weird cope from asmongold surprisingly. Saying you didn't read the rule or that the game is p2w already is a really strange argument. The game is p2w because blizzard wants you to pay them to win that doesn't mean they will be ok with you paying someone else to win. Blizzard absolutely wants their cut thats the entire fucking point of this game lol what? I'll never play it but I don't feel bad for people that get punished that a company decides to enforce their eula
Using 3rd partys to buy stuff in game is always against the rules because the company that made the game doesnt get money from it. Its why most mobile gacha games nowadays dont have an ingame trade system anymore. Since its just way cheaper to buy an item from another player with money as opposed to going in to the gambling aspect of games.
Has any gacha game ever had ingame trade system? Even back in the PAD day I don't even remember it ever had one. The way Blizzard resolve thing is the first time I saw it though. Last Origin did put people into debt but it's because it was a mistake in their system. Purposely putting players into debt is like telling them either quitting or going F2P forever, which sound pretty dumb to me.
in this case, it doesnt apply at all, the guys who sold the orbs already bought them to Blizzard (through illegal mean, like stolen credit card), so Blizzard didnt loose a dim here
i Honestly think those Greedy Games like Diablo immortal make 100x more money with less effort, then a 20-60 dollar 1 time purchase game wouldve made. They lose reputation, but still earn more money
@@ADeadlierSnake yeah but the generation is almost dead or close to killing themselves , we talking bout 30-45 / 50 range with majority of them dont have a good social life, relatinships and actuall goals in life
in german we have : "Unwissenheit schützt vor strafe nicht!" "ignorance of law does not exempt from punishment", just because you don't know it's illegal does not mean that you do not get punished." also if u buy something that normaly cost 100 dollar.... for 20 ..... YOU KNOW somthing smells fishy .... come on....
@@ShupekMan no ... thas not the same.... even on the second hand market u have the same thing... if a used graphics card cost normaly around 400 Dollar... and u find one that cost 250 ... then somthing isnt right ....
Why are people defending blizzard in this? So fking stupid, they made the game this way, they are the ones at fault, and hopefully the guy will quit the game and do something useful with that money
@@ShupekMan also if a orb cost 100 and someone sells it for 20 .... how the fuck is the guy who sells it for 20 making money... something isnt right ... come on ...
Imagine willingly spending that much money and still get scam , and the bait is so godamn obvious in this case. "if something is too good to be true it probably is"
This is 1st time i disagree with u asmon.. they gave their login account to the seller.. its clearly violated the TOS so they know what they are doing.. they just get what they deserved thats all.. the seller even wrote that u could get banned..
It's the player's account, not Blizzard's. The ToS is not a legal contract. Blizzard will lose hard considering they accepted the payment and have not refunded it.
@@GeorgeMonet Dude are you dumb? Blizzard can do whatever they want with your account as fast as you accept the ToS as you register your account. The game is completely copyrighted. Why do you think private server get sued by blizzard? Because they actually have legal contract for it. It even state int he tos when you register that they can do what ever they want with your account. They can literally delete your character, ban you forever. Blizzard will not lose anything, because he knowengly accepted the agreements before he started the game. Simple as.
"Best player" in a p2w game makes me laugh. These jackasses blowing smoke up each other's asses. Moral of the story. Don't try to pay to be good at games. It's a bad look.
RIP the Diablo franchise. You defined what gaming meant to me with Diablo and Diablo ll, but it's clear to see where your priorities are now. The downfall of Blizzard is one of gaming's greatest tragedies.
not sure ill even buy Diablo 4 yet... i wanna know a few things first. I dont mind pay to win, as long as I can profit from selling the items as well as blizz, such as the D3 rmah but if they make the game where everything soulbound and you cant trade in a TRADING GAME FRANCHISE, no way ill buy it.
I miss the ps2 era where I could simply buy a brand new game for $29.99, play it, enjoy it , finish it and then just buy another for maybe cheaper if used lol.
Blizzard did this man a favor. He may not know it yet, but if he never plays this game again or anything like it then he may actually focus on living life. Personally, I think this guy knew exactly what he was doing and that Blizzard could bust him. This happens all the time. Blizzard has, to my knowledge, never been ok with people buying in game currency. Just because people have gotten away with it didn’t mean it wasn’t against the terms of service.
he didn't buy credit card, he gave someone his account and they used stolen credit cards to buy things in his account that's basically RMT how is blizzard in the wrong?
Thank you someone here got it right! It was against the TOS and then they let people get on their account and put orbs it everyone knows it’s illegal. Blizzard also had been posting reminders about this. Lots of cheaters and friends of cheaters say this is unfair… nah it’s unfair to the legit players, it unfair to everyone that would have got rewards and rankings that couldn’t because this guy and other cheaters took their spot. It’s unfair to everyone they beat in battlegrounds, rite of exile etc. I hope everyone of them gets permanently banned.
This is not new, in Genshin happened the same. People went and bought crystal from a random guy because they were selling them cheaper. The catch was that after they bought the crystals the seller asked for a refund on their side and the account was left in the negative, they let you know you had x days to pay or get banned. In the end the fault is on the buyer, you have to buy from the official seller and not some random dude on a dark alley selling you something a bit cheaper.
Just want to point out that this is compliant with how stolen goods are handled in the UK. In the UK, if you buy stuff that was stolen and you don't know they're stolen, the police takes it from you and returns it to the owner without compensating you. You need to sue the thief if you want any compensation. In this case, if Blizzard refunded the money to the original owner, then at least they followed this pattern. If you know or think they might be stolen then you've actually committed a crime as well.
Nah the guy who buys into microtranactions deserves NO sympathy. You’re buying into this corporate greed and continuing the destruction of creation for actual video games.
Wait till he goes to the bank for a loan and they are like "sorry you owe 2.5M orbs on diablo immortal, gotta pay that back b4 you get your house loan"
There’s plenty of smart folks out there that lose their relationships/families to this kind of addiction. It’s no different than losing your life to drugs, sad to see this kind of thing promoted, but then take a good look at the pharmaceutical drug industry and it’s no different also.
As someone who plays mobile games, it's actually quite generous that Blizzard is giving these people the option of paying them the money they didn't get due to chargebacks. Any other mobile game? PERMABANNED instantly.
He cheated, no defending that. Bought 100$ bundles for 20$ each. There is no way he didn't know what he was doing. And he's not the best wizard, he's the one that spent the most...
@@Utrilus Cashed back, fake credit cards, etc, it's not because it got bought that it got payed for. Seeing him pay way less for the resources than the actual price, it's not hard to assume whoever he bought from did something like that.
Nah he has legal ground to sue blizzard. He needs to keep all documents, get familiar with games terms and conditions that relate to product consumption. Seek legal advice for (unfair treatment and failure to access promised servies) like "access to the game". File a complaint with a consumer protection agency. The only reason bliz gets away with this is because the consumer is a non English speaker and doesn't know how to navigate consumer protection laws.
18:54 you are way off base with this argument that Blizzard has nothing to lose to allow whales, even if they take advantage of the system. I know of countless players that became dejected in this game because of whales and thinking they will never catch up or have fun for end game, so they packed up and quit. It is bad for Blizzard to lose subs, period. Now ask the question is it better to have 1 whale that pitches in 20k vs 10-15 players that spend only modestly for the same $20k total, I think in every case the answer is going to be the latter. You want populated games. You want happy subscribers that will endorse the game and hopefully bring more friends in that will spend for the long haul. That's why Warcraft lasted so long.. they had a non-whale platform and class balance was a high priority. When you have a whale platform, it will burn out faster unless counter measures are taken.
He spent more than that…. He had to spend money on blizzard for the extra gems to sell to get 200% back on his gem sales. There’s a limit for how much a gem can call for. 200% is the max.
Just the fact alone that's he's not even quitting the "game" after this shows how truly some people got issues with these "games". They're not playing the game, the game is playing with them like preys.
I don't get it... who would think that imaginary "orbs" are some kind of real value? That is what players are trained and conditioned to believe... that an imaginative pseudo-currency carries any value at all... go buy some groceries from orbs...
- This game acts as money laundering for criminals who steal credit card infos, buy their stuff and sell it to unsuspecting imbeciles. - Everyone gets punished but Blizzard and Blizzard punishes everyone except the thieves. - Good stuff! I am not sorry one bit because when you partake into this stuff you deserve the ass-blasting! I hope that dominating F2P fools was worth it!
people saying he knew what he was doing, lets think here, he spent 35k on a mobile game if he knew there were severe consequences id think he wouldnt have dropped 35k in the first place
And? If you still pay to play Blizzard games you have nobody to blame but yourselves. How many years have they been doing shady as fuck things? It's like touching a red hot stove and burning yourself over and over and being pissed at the stove's manufacturer for your bandaged hand.
He is absolutely aware of what he is doing. For sure, D.I is not his first online game that he played so he knows what he did is totally illegal but he still took that risk to get strong. GG rip to him.
Fake whaling is a very serious matter. And I also believe that the measures imposed by Bl1zz4rd to tackle it are not enough. Therefore, they need to create an in game mechanic, through which these fake whales are easily identifiable. This can very easily be achieved as follows: - Introduce a cosmetic item on the cash shop, preferably a weapon or shoulders. - This item can be named as "Noblesse (enter name) of the Edgy of Hell". - The price tag for this MUST be $500 as minimum, to avoid having any non-whalers buying it by mistake. - Any fake whales that have the dept imposed upon them, will essentially be unable to buy this item. This way, all the fake whales will now be very easy to spot in the community and therefore shunned, the war effort against the fake whales will be funded, and all the true whales will be able to feel vindicated and looked after. P.S. I believe that this item should also give some kind of passive boost, like movement speed or loot drop chance, as some could argue that the whales that have gone through this ordeal need to be emotionally compensated. I am looking forward to your thoughts, but I believe it is only fair.
This's why I always avoid third party market no matter how cheap it is. since there's a rules about this in most game TOS. When the dev suddenly in a power trip rampage or when you got scammed (Charge-back), they wont listen to your reasoning. Both Blizzard and your seller already got your money, they wont help you. Never think third party seller as your friend.
Its pretty simple, i know nothing about DI, but you see, if you allow a currency that as i understand it can only be bought with real money to be traded between players, you encourage and allow those credit card scammers to do their work in hopes of some percentage of those fraudulent transactions to not be flagged and keeping the gains from it. As i see it, the only instance thats to be blamed for this is activision blizzard themself.
I disagree, mostly because the only way scammers can hope to offload their premium currency before they get banned is to give huge discounts, which should make any prospective buyer suspiscous. It's like buying fake designer clothes, there is no way that people don't know they bought fakes even though almost all of those people claim they didn't know. I am not saying Blizzard doesn't also share the blame, but the guys buying would have to be basically incapable of living by themselves without a lot of assistance to not have known why the currency was so cheap.
How does Asmond not understand? He purchased orbs off a website, EULA violation #1. Then he gave someone else access to his account for those orbs, EULA violation #2. That person used stolen CC's to purchase orbs from blizzard, EULA violation #3. This guy knew what he was doing was against EULA and this is exactly why it's against EULA in all games, but he figured he could save some money. F- this guy. Whale tears make the best soup.
@@GeorgeMonet You don't get it. Blizzard got no money. The banks charge back on a stolen CC. The only one who made money is the 3rd party scammer that is using the stolen CC's. The EULA is the reason the account is banned.
How is it possible…. You’re spending a year salary on a mobile game… it’s 10 year olds… and 49 year olds doing the same thing except on different ends of their life span. How do you manage to get to that age playing phone games. Brain dead stuff man
People are going to try to win. How do you win? You try to get the most out of everything. In sports, you almost infringe the rules, you get as close as breaking the rules in order to win. Now, in this game, you win by paying more, then your incentive is to get $1 for the price of $0.99 you buy that always because that’s what you need if you want to gain an edge. Blizzard is either dumb or don’t care about what they’re doing
This is the weirdest take asmon has had in a while. How can it be okay to buy off 3rd party and blame blizzard for taking action. This guy was not just p2w he was actually cheating p2w by spending less then people doing it legit. So they don't get banned, like this guy did.
I‘m all against Blizzard, but this is purely the player’s fault. In the end these orbs were bought with stolen credit cards, so Blizzard probably didn’t see a single $$. Ban well deserved imo
Wow only had to lose 35k to realize he should quit. I loved blizzard while growing up but wont even install any new blizzard products. Even Asmon here makes all kinds of money complaining about them but then signs up for pre-orders. I used to have some respect for him but these youtubers are actually a big part of the problem themselves.
3:25 tbh, i used to do the same thing with ESO crowns, there are no rules against selling crown gifts for ingame gold- there re against abusing regional prices though, i used to be able to get £75 worth of crowns (5000) for just less than £30, and sell them for 1.5k per crown and get millions of gold more or less instantly, that gold can be then used to buy the materials to max out your armors quality, they did fix it in the last update though. But not the subcription price which is half the cost of normal, £8 down to £3 which can get you 3 million gold in current crown cost, i dont see any problem with it though really, atleast you cant buy your way to perfect traits on that game with gold, or decent dungeon/farmed sets (since they cant be traded outside the group u farmed it with, or even sell them on the traders)
Shia is on my server and our clan had to face him in the rite of exile pvp battles a couple times. His kill/death ratio was 29-2 and 28-0 respectively in both games and so we hit the 55 death cap very quick. It was just laughable. In the third game rematch a couple weeks later, he was not on their team and was more of a balanced/fair resonance fight, and sure enough we crushed them 31-15 in kills and won the game. It just shows the magnitude of the whale impact, and I'm sure it caused many players to lose faith or confidence and just quit all together, which Blizzard does not want so these actions were necessary. I have zero sympathy for this loser and would slap him silly if we had the same gear/reso. I have NO idea why they are still allowed to pvp so he has like a 5.5k rating right now, but I'm sure he will leave soon.
That trainwreck XD Wtf though, this game is for rich people? Blizzard went form "don't you have phones" to "don't you guys have millions in the bank?" Also holy shit, I'm never gonna watch Asmon live, his viewers are so absolutely full of themselves... ugh.
one of the best thing i've done this year is to listen to my friend and NOT PLAY THIS GAME. thank god for his reason and my hope goes to all who play this game to just quit and let this game die.
gotta love how he is going into the interview and just laughts like crazzy at the dude while saying that sucks for you man, XD understandebly so i guess, but i bet the dude is a already banged up the the what happend, so i feel its pretty freaking rude to basically laugh in hes face and say that with that tone when he at least agreed to do the interview,
Come on in which case is it ever okay to buy currency from a third party.. good on Blizzard for booting them. As an immortal it took out all the big hitters on the shadows side.
To be honest they shouldnt have made it possible for this to happen in the first place. If anything it's bad game design and holds up a mirror to what they are doing to their game and community. I don't understand why they don't just make gifting a in-game event only. They clearly use some sort of key you need to type in.. you know this is going to happen then.
20:28 That's not what the chatter meant. They most likely meant that of course they're gonna ban them if they're buying game services on the side, instead of giving the cut to the company. It's a no brainer, of course they'll ban em.
Asmon lol this guy deserves this, he tried to cheat the game and buy orbs super cheap, this is what you get when you try to cheat in a game. This guy got everything he deserved, glad to see this, and it's hilarious.
Violate ToS reap the consequences. Its amazing how few people actually read these things like how the WoW Social Contract was literally the ToS that has existed since launch of Vanilla yet people were just now realizing it in 9.2.5. Diablo Immortal is a scumbag game but that dosent mean people should be defending some1 who violates the ToS just because "Blizzard Bad!". This is a doozy from the ToS itself-Refusal of service; Termination; Suspension. The Company reserves the right in its sole discretion to refuse, suspend, or terminate the Service to anyone at any time without notice for any reason.
@@GeorgeMonet ToS is legally binding and you have to accept it in order to even play meaning you consented to it. If you didn't read it then that's your issue.

The guy is delusional, there is nothing else to it lol. Not sure why Asmon keeps giving him a platform to his audience.
If somebody drops bands on a p2w game then perhaps they deserve to win
It took me 8 years to save up to 100k and seeing people wasting it like this hurts so much. I could never do it.
I don't think they had all the money at once, and it wasn't cash. I believe these people use credit cards and it's over a long period of time....I don't think if any of these players had 100k cash they would choose to spend it in a game in one day, you know lol it's just very different
@@notmetagaming They did spend it in a short period of time tho cause the game was still freshly released. 3 month or so.

Diablo Immoral: when your regular drug dealer gets miffed about you finding another drug dealer with a slightly better price.
I mean... it's not like drug dealers are traditionally tolerant of competition.
Difference is the third party drugdealer site uses stolen credit cards, so at the end of the month you get nothing after giving your money
If by being the 'best' player is based on the amount of purchased gear, then yes... he certainly is the best player. If anyone who purchased 35k of RL money towards pixels and power upgrades, anyone can be the best.
The things you could buy with that money and instead you spend it on a garbage game, for what? For the dopamine rush? To pretend you're the best at something? It's pathetic but it's exactly why these games exist, because people like this exist.
@@Jonymago Well you only live once. You either are or arent. The mans got the paper, hes got the world. : (
„The best“ isn‘t really right I think. I mean the best in what? The best in spending money?
Yea the best button smash player
Also funny thing about Diablo Immortal is how simplistic it is with 4 skills and just a couple of valid builds. So yeah, not much skill and tactics involved here.
I have lived long enough to see a game put you in debt due to not using their 'exclusive' marketplace and will say no dice to all of your stuff. Clearly a purposefully fully broken system, and will slap anyone who tries to trade when Blizzard let's it happen in the first place.
You do realize those people purchased from third party seller who sell with huge discounts because the seller commit credit card theft and selling everything cheap for cash in before they got caught, right?
At least Blizzard did somethint, unlike those people at G2A. In the first place, those players should know better. Its like buying cheap car with too good of condition and discovered its been stolen.
So, what are you going to do in Blizzard case then?
I can tell you never have played a gacha game before. These third party scams are nothing new and rampant in those games. They steal peoples credit cards and charge the premium currency with it.
@@Caedus696 And I hope to never experience a gacha game. They just sound so vapid and empty compared to everything else you can play.
Nah, not broken. This is their game, it's fucking stupid to think that anyone can pay another person, company, entity, etc while bypassing the game's devs and then expect the devs to not punish you for it. And then there's the fact that what they were buying was going for a significant discount. If that's not coming from the devs then there's no way that's legit. You should always think it's the worst scenario, in this case essentially buying stolen goods because it's very possible to be from a stolen credit card, stuff like this is the epitome of "a deal too good to be true." Even if it's actually someone spending money from a different currency, if you find a deal like that you shouldn't expect it to be legit and you shouldn't expect to be able to keep what you bought through some random non-authorized third party.
Why is it Blizzards fault?
When u buy Something from Like a blackmarket, its your own fault.
I mean, yeah, 30k is a Lot, But its your fault.
No one forced you to buy from there.
These People doesnt even Care where does it came from, These People does only think of themself. Get everything cheaper.
This is actually common practice in Chinese developed games. The coders put backdoors in the code so they can sell premium packs as a side Hussle. When the developer finds out, they patch the code, and hit the whales with huge bills. Then in like 2 weeks they will start offering settlement agreements to restore whale accounts. Most of these whales will jump at 20 cents on a dollar to get their account back.
@@yt_nh9347 That is the "official statement". If they admit that was done through an exploit, then they can't charge the whales 😉
You know, if Blizzard wanted to, they could shut this game down today and people have just wasted $30,000 with nothing to show for it.
@@D4AM i say after 2050. Prove me wrong

I mean we all know that with the whole system blizzard build up with Immortal it's obvious that power creep is gonna happen to entice people to spend ever more money on this shit.
2 more year they are gonna make DI 2, with no change except for porting it into unreal engine 5 or something, shut down service for DI 1 and render everyone's progress null and void.

He said he don't have he's account so it's more than that
@Zahdorfi technically u cant count sunk cost, itd cost him 35k to balance his account, or however much the official sells it for
This is a really weird cope from asmongold surprisingly. Saying you didn't read the rule or that the game is p2w already is a really strange argument. The game is p2w because blizzard wants you to pay them to win that doesn't mean they will be ok with you paying someone else to win. Blizzard absolutely wants their cut thats the entire fucking point of this game lol what? I'll never play it but I don't feel bad for people that get punished that a company decides to enforce their eula
Blizzard gets the cut anyways. Since someone had to buy the points.
Asmon is king of shit takes
I would play this game if I was paid $100 per hour to play it.
You mean if you were payed specifically to play it, right? Not if you made 100$ an hour in your regular job?
@@riner9 Hey, wake up. Look, it happened again
lol you would probably lose that much money per hour playing the game haha
Using 3rd partys to buy stuff in game is always against the rules because the company that made the game doesnt get money from it. Its why most mobile gacha games nowadays dont have an ingame trade system anymore. Since its just way cheaper to buy an item from another player with money as opposed to going in to the gambling aspect of games.
Has any gacha game ever had ingame trade system? Even back in the PAD day I don't even remember it ever had one.
The way Blizzard resolve thing is the first time I saw it though. Last Origin did put people into debt but it's because it was a mistake in their system. Purposely putting players into debt is like telling them either quitting or going F2P forever, which sound pretty dumb to me.
in this case, it doesnt apply at all, the guys who sold the orbs already bought them to Blizzard (through illegal mean, like stolen credit card), so Blizzard didnt loose a dim here
Yeah, thanks for that Mr. Information... 😒
Blizzard is well and truly done.
Lol, no they arent. They have an army of millions of idiots that will always be loyal to them no matter what.
Fuck nah. Pay pigs still give them money, and it sucks
For sure brother. They will be around long after we are regardless what they do.
i Honestly think those Greedy Games like Diablo immortal make 100x more money with less effort, then a 20-60 dollar 1 time purchase game wouldve made. They lose reputation, but still earn more money

It's the player's account, not Blizzard's. The ToS is not a legal contract.

Blizzard did this man a favor. He may not know it yet, but if he never plays this game again or anything like it then he may actually focus on living life. Personally, I think this guy knew exactly what he was doing and that Blizzard could bust him. This happens all the time. Blizzard has, to my knowledge, never been ok with people buying in game currency. Just because people have gotten away with it didn’t mean it wasn’t against the terms of service.
he didn't buy credit card, he gave someone his account and they used stolen credit cards to buy things in his account
that's basically RMT how is blizzard in the wrong?
Thank you someone here got it right! It was against the TOS and then they let people get on their account and put orbs it everyone knows it’s illegal.
Blizzard also had been posting reminders about this.
Lots of cheaters and friends of cheaters say this is unfair… nah it’s unfair to the legit players, it unfair to everyone that would have got rewards and rankings that couldn’t because this guy and other cheaters took their spot. It’s unfair to everyone they beat in battlegrounds, rite of exile etc.
I hope everyone of them gets permanently banned.
This is not new, in Genshin happened the same. People went and bought crystal from a random guy because they were selling them cheaper. The catch was that after they bought the crystals the seller asked for a refund on their side and the account was left in the negative, they let you know you had x days to pay or get banned. In the end the fault is on the buyer, you have to buy from the official seller and not some random dude on a dark alley selling you something a bit cheaper.
I wouldn’t be surprised if Blizzard was the one running the 3rd party site and credit card scams at this point
It is employees and GMs and they get caught all the time happens at every gaming company
My thoughts exactly, not that's a scam of huge proportions!
Just want to point out that this is compliant with how stolen goods are handled in the UK. In the UK, if you buy stuff that was stolen and you don't know they're stolen, the police takes it from you and returns it to the owner without compensating you. You need to sue the thief if you want any compensation. In this case, if Blizzard refunded the money to the original owner, then at least they followed this pattern.
If you know or think they might be stolen then you've actually committed a crime as well.
This guy became the best mage by illegally buying power at 1/5th the price and got caught. Why should any of us feel bad for him?

As someone who plays mobile games, it's actually quite generous that Blizzard is giving these people the option of paying them the money they didn't get due to chargebacks. Any other mobile game? PERMABANNED instantly.
He cheated, no defending that. Bought 100$ bundles for 20$ each. There is no way he didn't know what he was doing. And he's not the best wizard, he's the one that spent the most...
I'd argue anyone who buys from blizzard is in debt.
the orbs came at 80-90% discount so it's pretty sure that buyer knew what they were doing all along.
That Seems like a massive jump in logic to me
He got the gear and blizzard didn’t get their cut, they don’t care about him knowing it was right or wrong.
Blizzard got their cut, someone still had to buy the digital points, if with a discount since some regions have cheaper prices.

Seek legal advice for (unfair treatment and failure to access promised servies) like "access to the game". File a complaint with a consumer protection agency. The only reason bliz gets away with this is because the consumer is a non English speaker and doesn't know how to navigate consumer protection laws.
Do not pay Blizzard to waste your time.
the player purchased a ton of eternal orbs, now he's in eternal debt
"Dont you guys have credit cards"
18:54 you are way off base with this argument that Blizzard has nothing to lose to allow whales, even if they take advantage of the system. I know of countless players that became dejected in this game because of whales and thinking they will never catch up or have fun for end game, so they packed up and quit. It is bad for Blizzard to lose subs, period. Now ask the question is it better to have 1 whale that pitches in 20k vs 10-15 players that spend only modestly for the same $20k total, I think in every case the answer is going to be the latter. You want populated games. You want happy subscribers that will endorse the game and hopefully bring more friends in that will spend for the long haul. That's why Warcraft lasted so long.. they had a non-whale platform and class balance was a high priority. When you have a whale platform, it will burn out faster unless counter measures are taken.
He spent more than that…. He had to spend money on blizzard for the extra gems to sell to get 200% back on his gem sales. There’s a limit for how much a gem can call for. 200% is the max.
You're telling me that the guy who spent $35K was the best Wizard in the game? You don't say... Must be skill based, right?
well, swiping the credit card really fast could count as a skill xD
Just the fact alone that's he's not even quitting the "game" after this shows how truly some people got issues with these "games". They're not playing the game, the game is playing with them like preys.
He did say he was giving up the game in the video. 14:14

I don't get it... who would think that imaginary "orbs" are some kind of real value? That is what players are trained and conditioned to believe... that an imaginative pseudo-currency carries any value at all... go buy some groceries from orbs...
- This game acts as money laundering for criminals who steal credit card infos, buy their stuff and sell it to unsuspecting imbeciles.
- Everyone gets punished but Blizzard and Blizzard punishes everyone except the thieves.
- Good stuff! I am not sorry one bit because when you partake into this stuff you deserve the ass-blasting! I hope that dominating F2P fools was worth it!

He is absolutely aware of what he is doing. For sure, D.I is not his first online game that he played so he knows what he did is totally illegal but he still took that risk to get strong. GG rip to him.
Fake whaling is a very serious matter. And I also believe that the measures imposed by Bl1zz4rd to tackle it are not enough.
Therefore, they need to create an in game mechanic, through which these fake whales are easily identifiable. This can very easily be achieved as follows:
- Introduce a cosmetic item on the cash shop, preferably a weapon or shoulders.
- This item can be named as "Noblesse (enter name) of the Edgy of Hell".
- The price tag for this MUST be $500 as minimum, to avoid having any non-whalers buying it by mistake.
- Any fake whales that have the dept imposed upon them, will essentially be unable to buy this item.
This way, all the fake whales will now be very easy to spot in the community and therefore shunned, the war effort against the fake whales will be funded, and all the true whales will be able to feel vindicated and looked after.
P.S. I believe that this item should also give some kind of passive boost, like movement speed or loot drop chance, as some could argue that the whales that have gone through this ordeal need to be emotionally compensated. I am looking forward to your thoughts, but I believe it is only fair.
For Pete's sake quit calling blowing thousands of dollars on a pay to win game an "investment".
Agreed, "investment" implies that there's a nonzero chance you can sell it at a later date and turn a profit
C’mon! Wtf do u mean by “it’s not the player’s fault?” These are clearly 3rd party sales. I myself have reported a bunch of players trynna sell orbs.
Asmongold is too funny man
oh, look, it's the whale god himself!
Ya know what's even more funny? Spending money on Diablo Immortal
This's why I always avoid third party market no matter how cheap it is.
since there's a rules about this in most game TOS.
When the dev suddenly in a power trip rampage or when you got scammed (Charge-back), they wont listen to your reasoning.
Both Blizzard and your seller already got your money, they wont help you.
Never think third party seller as your friend.
Its pretty simple, i know nothing about DI, but you see, if you allow a currency that as i understand it can only be bought with real money to be traded between players, you encourage and allow those credit card scammers to do their work in hopes of some percentage of those fraudulent transactions to not be flagged and keeping the gains from it. As i see it, the only instance thats to be blamed for this is activision blizzard themself.
I disagree, mostly because the only way scammers can hope to offload their premium currency before they get banned is to give huge discounts, which should make any prospective buyer suspiscous. It's like buying fake designer clothes, there is no way that people don't know they bought fakes even though almost all of those people claim they didn't know. I am not saying Blizzard doesn't also share the blame, but the guys buying would have to be basically incapable of living by themselves without a lot of assistance to not have known why the currency was so cheap.
How does Asmond not understand? He purchased orbs off a website, EULA violation #1. Then he gave someone else access to his account for those orbs, EULA violation #2. That person used stolen CC's to purchase orbs from blizzard, EULA violation #3. This guy knew what he was doing was against EULA and this is exactly why it's against EULA in all games, but he figured he could save some money. F- this guy. Whale tears make the best soup.
The EULA isn't a legally binding contract. Blizzard cannot on one hand accept the money while effectively also locking off the account.
@@GeorgeMonet You don't get it. Blizzard got no money. The banks charge back on a stolen CC. The only one who made money is the 3rd party scammer that is using the stolen CC's. The EULA is the reason the account is banned.
When you're $35k in debt to... Blizzard
How is it possible…. You’re spending a year salary on a mobile game… it’s 10 year olds… and 49 year olds doing the same thing except on different ends of their life span. How do you manage to get to that age playing phone games. Brain dead stuff man
This makes me feel so happy lol. Also sidenote we can see how gifted Asmon is as an interviewer compared to that other guy.
People are going to try to win. How do you win? You try to get the most out of everything. In sports, you almost infringe the rules, you get as close as breaking the rules in order to win. Now, in this game, you win by paying more, then your incentive is to get $1 for the price of $0.99 you buy that always because that’s what you need if you want to gain an edge. Blizzard is either dumb or don’t care about what they’re doing
This is the weirdest take asmon has had in a while. How can it be okay to buy off 3rd party and blame blizzard for taking action. This guy was not just p2w he was actually cheating p2w by spending less then people doing it legit. So they don't get banned, like this guy did.
Finally, someone who makes sense.
Yeah I don't understand how people defending those guys who cheat by buying orbs cheaper. Like hello...
so he says he should have gone the "apropriate route" as if already getting penny pinched by the actual game devs isint bad enough.
I‘m all against Blizzard, but this is purely the player’s fault. In the end these orbs were bought with stolen credit cards, so Blizzard probably didn’t see a single $$. Ban well deserved imo
Wow only had to lose 35k to realize he should quit. I loved blizzard while growing up but wont even install any new blizzard products. Even Asmon here makes all kinds of money complaining about them but then signs up for pre-orders. I used to have some respect for him but these youtubers are actually a big part of the problem themselves.
Garbage whales get fcked by devs in garbage game? Well that puts a smile on my face :) GJ Blizzard keep doing this xD Great news to hear.
Preach.
3:25 tbh, i used to do the same thing with ESO crowns, there are no rules against selling crown gifts for ingame gold- there re against abusing regional prices though, i used to be able to get £75 worth of crowns (5000) for just less than £30, and sell them for 1.5k per crown and get millions of gold more or less instantly, that gold can be then used to buy the materials to max out your armors quality, they did fix it in the last update though. But not the subcription price which is half the cost of normal, £8 down to £3 which can get you 3 million gold in current crown cost, i dont see any problem with it though really, atleast you cant buy your way to perfect traits on that game with gold, or decent dungeon/farmed sets (since they cant be traded outside the group u farmed it with, or even sell them on the traders)
Shia is on my server and our clan had to face him in the rite of exile pvp battles a couple times. His kill/death ratio was 29-2 and 28-0 respectively in both games and so we hit the 55 death cap very quick. It was just laughable. In the third game rematch a couple weeks later, he was not on their team and was more of a balanced/fair resonance fight, and sure enough we crushed them 31-15 in kills and won the game. It just shows the magnitude of the whale impact, and I'm sure it caused many players to lose faith or confidence and just quit all together, which Blizzard does not want so these actions were necessary. I have zero sympathy for this loser and would slap him silly if we had the same gear/reso. I have NO idea why they are still allowed to pvp so he has like a 5.5k rating right now, but I'm sure he will leave soon.

No sympathy for cheaters. Good job Blizzard.
To be honest they shouldnt have made it possible for this to happen in the first place. If anything it's bad game design and holds up a mirror to what they are doing to their game and community. I don't understand why they don't just make gifting a in-game event only. They clearly use some sort of key you need to type in.. you know this is going to happen then.
people who get in dept with this definitely deserve it lol... no pity for them from me :D I don't pity stupidity :D
20:28 That's not what the chatter meant. They most likely meant that of course they're gonna ban them if they're buying game services on the side, instead of giving the cut to the company.
It's a no brainer, of course they'll ban em.
Asmon lol this guy deserves this, he tried to cheat the game and buy orbs super cheap, this is what you get when you try to cheat in a game. This guy got everything he deserved, glad to see this, and it's hilarious.
Welcome to mobile gaming. Asmon is 5 years later to this stuff. Should see ban waves on FF Mobius or lineage 2 revolution
Violate ToS reap the consequences. Its amazing how few people actually read these things like how the WoW Social Contract was literally the ToS that has existed since launch of Vanilla yet people were just now realizing it in 9.2.5. Diablo Immortal is a scumbag game but that dosent mean people should be defending some1 who violates the ToS just because "Blizzard Bad!". This is a doozy from the ToS itself-Refusal of service; Termination; Suspension. The Company reserves the right in its sole discretion to refuse, suspend, or terminate the Service to anyone at any time without notice for any reason.
A ToS is not a legal contract.
@@GeorgeMonet ToS is legally binding and you have to accept it in order to even play meaning you consented to it. If you didn't read it then that's your issue.
15:06 Ryan Giggs! is that you?
