Despite the criticism about many aspects of the game, Blizzard is racking up a lot of cash from Diablo 4 players.

There is nothing new in video game developers and publishers earning a lot of money by selling digital items and services via an in-game shop. The microtransaction model is widely extended and it has proven to be more profitable and compatible with other types of monetization options, like, for example, subscription services on classic MMORPGs. However, some big numbers can still raise some eyebrows, especially when talking about important franchises like Diablo. The latest installment in the popular ARPG series from...
