[Tsing]

Diablo IV has seemingly made more money for Activision Blizzard in five days than Diablo Immortal has in an entire year. According to the latest numbers from data.ai, Diablo Immortal made "more than $525 million" during its first year, which, while admirable in itself, pales in comparison to Diablo IV, which made $666 million within five days of launch, per a recent press release from Activision Blizzard. Diablo Immortal is free to play on PC, Android, and iOS devices.

Shocking! the Immortal experience on anything other than handheld was ****, and even then the fatigue of playing it on a handheld is **** as well.

You know what though - I'd take $525M in a year - that's still pretty decent revenue.

"free to play"

"We made $525M off that game in one year. "

Yeah. "Free".

The article seems to present a false choice, as though the games are in competition with each other.

Media: So Blizzard, which Diablo do you prefer for profitability: Immortal or IV?

Blizzard: Both.
