Will gambling laws get Diablo 3 banned?

Diablo 3 comes with a new twist. Unlike previous editions, Diablo 3 has a dual auction-house system. This simply means that gamers can use gold – Diablo 3 money – plus real-word money. That just makes the stakes so much higher for all the gamers out there. It also makes Diablo 3 totally irresistible.

Make Money Playing Diablo 3

Diablo 3 design and engineering team has carefully laid out a cashing-out, buying and selling system within the game. This relates only to items within the game. Blizzard, from its part, is not offering any extra goods for sale though. Blizzard would continue to earn from its original game subscription. However, gamers would now have to play within the framework of this madly fluctuating Diablo 3 exchange rate.

The Diablo 3 economy would entirely be defined by the gamers' use of gold and real-world money from around the planet. There has been a big furore from some previous Diablo fans. They say this would make the game come across as a gambling option and possibly get it banned in some countries. The dual-auction system and the Diablo 3 exchange rate is affected by the new player-versus-player mode also.

Blizzard CEO Mike Morhaime, in a statement made about the dual-auction system, said all fears were unfounded. Morhaime is confident that the game would not get banned anywhere as gambling only covers systems where an element of risk is involved. Diablo 3 is all about skill and is beyond the scope of any gambling ban, says Morhaime.

Another group of fans is more worried about hackers and experts squeezing money out of amateurs through the dual-auction system.

However, diehard Diablo fans have welcomed all the changes. They feel the challenge would be all the more exciting now!

Amidst all this talk, news reports from South Korean National Assembly say Diablo 3 indeed breaks Article 1 of their Gaming Industry Promotion Law! Earlier, South Korean Emperor Online was banned because of similar gaming systems.

Gaming industry experts suggest that Blizzard should simply issue two versions of Diablo 3 – one with the dual-auction system and the other with the system disabled!
