Twitch and YouTube streamers spent thousands of dollars on Diablo Immortal and drew significant amounts of attention to it. Some reports indicate the Diablo Immortal made as much as $24 million in its first several weeks. While many Diablo fans may consider Diablo Immortal's fall in popularity karmic due to the negative reception to the game's monetization, it's hard to argue that the game didn't make the most of its success. That isn't just below Diablo 2 and Diablo 3, but nearly the 500th-ranked game on Twitch. Now, a month later, and daily Twitch peak viewership is struggling to reach 2,000 viewers across 130 accounts. That was on June 2, the game's launch date. Peak viewers at the height of Diablo Immortal's popularity was nearly 224,000 Twitch users across 2,700 channels. Twitch viewership overall has dramatically fallen for Diablo Immortal, too. The simplest way to describe wudijo's thoughts, in his own words, is that Diablo Immortal was always going to be a "short-term game." The content creator made a lengthy video breaking down his thoughts on Diablo Immortal from the game's announcement. The YouTuber is known to be a major content creator in the Diablo scene with hundreds of videos tied to Diablo 3, Diablo 2 Resurrected, and other ARPGs.

He also had some extreme criticism for Diablo Immortal and encouraged his viewers to delete their accounts. In celebration, he then deleted his character. Quin69 spent $16,000 on Diablo Immortal microtransactions before he got his drop. Some may recall Quin69 as the unfortunate soul that decided to continue spending money on Diablo Immortal until he acquired a 5-star gem drop. Perhaps the most significant departure from the Diablo Immortal streaming community is Quin69. The past week has seen yet more big Diablo Immortal streamers deciding to step away from the game. Yet it's certainly surprising to see just how quickly Diablo Immortal's popularity has fallen, at least with regard to popular streamer support and Twitch viewership.
There was no way that the mobile version of Diablo would be able to maintain the highs it saw off of a wave of controversy and media attention. It was always inevitable that Diablo Immortal's momentum would lose steam.
