Cheng stated that he wished to “ set the record straight” with regards to fans believing that the game was designed to force players to utilize the Auction House.
In a post on his Twitter, Wyatt Cheng, the Director of Diablo Immortal, and previously a developer for Diablo 3, spoke about the development process of Diablo 3 and the inclusion of the Auction House feature. Along with the removal of the Auction House, a new loot system was introduced titled Loot 2.0, which overhauled the game’s item drops, offering players loot that was more suited to their class. While Blizzard has stated that the Auction House was implemented as a way for players to securely obtain items without having to turn to third-party trades, it was eventually removed in 2014, as developers believed its existence impaired Diablo 3’s loot-based gameplay. The Auction House drew considerable criticism from both fans and critics alike, many arguing that the game was designed in a way to force players to use the feature to obtain gear and items in order to survive Diablo 3’s higher difficulties. The Auction House in Diablo 3 was a feature that was included in the PC version of the game, which allowed players to purchase items for either in-game coin or real money.
The Director of Diablo Immortal, Wyatt Cheng, recently decided to set the record straight in regards to the controversial Auction House feature in Diablo 3. The full details of the Activision Blizzard lawsuit (content warning: rape, suicide, abuse, harassment) are being updated as new information becomes available. Activision Blizzard has denied the allegations.
Editor’s Note: A lawsuit has been filed against Activision Blizzard by the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing, which alleges the company has engaged in abuse, discrimination, and retaliation against its female employees.
