There was no way its mobile counterpart of Diablo would be able to maintain the highs it saw after a flurry of controversy and media attention. Yet it's certainly surprising to realize how fast Diablo 4's popularity has waned to a minimum, at least when it comes to the support of popular streamers and Twitch viewing. The last week has seen more major Diablo 4 streamers take the decision to leave the game.
Perhaps the most significant departure from the Diablo 4 streaming community is Quin69. There are those who remember Quin69 as the unfortunate soul who decided to keep spending money on Diablo 4 until he acquired five stars of gems. Quin69 paid $16.000 for Diablo 4 microtransactions, before he had his gem. In celebration, he deleted his account. He also had some extreme criticisms for Diablo 4 and encouraged his followers to remove their accounts.
Another important departure from Diablo 4 scene is YouTuber wudijo. The YouTuber is known to be a major creator of content in the Diablo world, with hundreds of videos related to Diablo 3. Diablo 2 Resurrected as well as other ARPGs. The creator of the content created an extensive video that explains his thoughts on Diablo 4 from the game's announcement. The most straightforward way to explain wudijo's thoughts, by his own terms is that Diablo 4 was always going to be an "short-term sport."
Twitch viewing has greatly decreased for Diablo 4. too. The highest number of viewers at the height of Diablo's popularity was about 224.000 Twitch users across 2700 channels. This was on June 2. which was the date the game was released. Today, one month after the launch, and every day, Twitch viewers are striving to reach 2.000 users across 130 accounts. It's not just below Diablo 2 and Diablo 3 however, it's also close to the 500th-ranked games on Twitch.
While some Diablo players might consider Diablo 4's declining popularity to be karmic, due to the negative reactions to the game's monetizationstrategies, it's hard to argue with the fact that the game didn't make the most of its popularity. There are reports that suggest Diablo 4 made as much as $24 million over its first few weeks. Twitch, and YouTube streamers spent thousands millions of dollars to purchase Diablo 4 and drew significant amounts of attention.
Streamers may have lost their love in Diablo 4. but that does not mean it's not still an enjoyable game. It's highly likely that the ARPG has the most active players and large spenders. Time is the final reviewer of Diablo 4. less
