We imagine how gamers from both countries will feel knowing that one of the most anticipated titles by fans will not come to their country due to regulations. “The loot boxes in the game are against the law in your country, so unless the gambling restrictions change, the game will not be released in the Netherlands and Belgium.” the company claimed. “Unfortunately, players in the Netherlands and Belgium will not be able to install Diablo Immortal due to the countries’ gambling restrictions. Unfortunately, this problem affects two countries, Belgium and the Netherlands, as both have been very clear about these practices that they consider gambling and do not allow in games.Īn Activision spokesperson confirmed that the game would not debut in either of those two countries due to their micropayments and loot boxes regulations. WHY WILL SOME COUNTRIES BAN THE GAME PREMIERE? This means that since the video game will be free, Blizzard will monetize it through a system of microtransactions and loot boxes. To give you context, Diablo Immortal will debut as free-to-play, so it will be accessible to anyone who wants to download it for free on mobile and PC.


This has all its fans excited however, not everyone will be able to enjoy the saga since some countries will prohibit its premiere. As many fans know, the release of the Diablo Immortal title is scheduled for June 2 and will be available on iOS, Android, and PC.
