In Tencent's game, if you pay some money, then you can enjoy the game. The more you pay the better experience you will get.

Path of Exile is such a better successor to diablo 2.
Honestly, I personally hope most countries mark it as gambling. Good for both countries.
Weird, if true. Diablo Immortal is rated M (17+) [0], the gambling age in the Netherlands is 18 [1]. 0 - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.blizzard.d... 1 - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gambling_age

Haven't seen that yet but it may be there.)
