Diablo Immortal is so riddled with microtransactions that it simply will not be released in countries where they are banned

A company representative speaking to journalists believes that releasing the game is simply impossible due to such restrictions

It has been officially confirmed that Diablo Immortal will not be released in the Netherlands and Belgium due to restrictions on loot boxes and microtransactions introduced by these countries. The game will not appear in mobile app stores such as the App Store and Google Play, nor in the Battle.net client for PC. An Activision Blizzard communications manager confirmed this in a conversation with Tweakers.

According to Blizzard, the launch of Diablo Immortal is impossible in the Netherlands and Belgium “due to the current operating conditions in these countries”. The company did not clarify what those conditions are, but it is easy to guess that the game is so riddled with microtransactions that it simply does not work without them.
