Diablo Immortal faces potential lawsuit over misleading legendary item Activision BlizzardAttorneys at Migliaccio & Rathod LLP have launched an investigation into Diablo Immortal\u2019s misleading Blessing of the Worthy item, which could result in a class action lawsuit. A Legendary gem, Blessing of the Worthy was available in Diablo Immortal bundles that could cost up to $100. Many were eager to get their hands on the item, too, since the item description claimed the gem\u2019s effect had a 20 percent chance to deal damage worth 12 percent of a user\u2019s max health. To the chagrin of many, that wasn\u2019t the case. The Legendary item actually had a 20 percent chance to do damage worth 12 percent of a player\u2019s current life. Therefore, someone with low health wouldn\u2019t benefit much from Blessing of the Worthy. Those who spent upwards of $100 on bundles to unlock the item were displeased. While Blizzard updated the description to better reflect the gem\u2019s abilities, fans who previously purchased bundles found the ordeal \u201cunacceptable.\u201d Attorneys investigating Diablo Immortal for class action lawsuit Washington, D.C.-based Migliaccio & Rathod LLP has opened a \u201cfalse advertising\u201d investigation into Diablo Immortal. In a post on its website, the firm calls Blizzard\u2019s text description change and unwillingness to compensate affected players a \u201cbait-and-switch.\u201d The post reads in part, \u201cThis practice essentially amounts to a bait-and-switch, since a purchasable item was advertised with one effect that players wanted and ended up with something completely different.\u201d Any Diablo Immortal players who purchased Blessing of the Worthy a la carte or in a bundle are asked to fill out a questionnaire attached near the end of the firm\u2019s write-up. At the time of writing, there\u2019s no way of knowing if the investigation will actually lead to a class action lawsuit against Diablo Immortal\u2019s developer. Still, those who were affected by the discrepancy would do well to submit the questionnaire.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
