Diablo Immortal players who purchased Eternal Orbs via third-party sellers with real money have had their purchases revoked, leaving them with in-game debts.
As one of the key currencies in the game, Eternal Orbs are crucial to progression, and are bought with real money.
It comes just days after Blizzard revealed it was redesigning Diablo Immortal’s legendary crests to “help differentiate” them from the eternal legendary chests that cost players real money.
Despite the controversy, Diablo Immortal has stemmed the flow of falling Blizzard user numbers, and given the company a modest increase in monthly active engagement.
