As Diablo 4 streamer Quin69 told viewers that the road towards $20.000 had just begun on one of his streams last week, very few would have imagined that he'd get to the finish line. Given the fact that Diablo 4 Gold he'd spent more than NZ$10.000 playing Diablo 4 without getting a single 5/5-Star Legendary Gem already seemed unlikely enough. Unfortunately his luck hasn't improved one bit since the time he bought Diablo 4.

Eight days and many Rifts in the past, Quin69 has now reached another unimaginable milestone his latest stream pushing his total expenditure well past the NZ$20.000 mark. Unfortunately for Quin69. due in part to the way Diablo 4's debatable pity system operates, Quin69 isn't much closer to acquiring one of the 5/5-Star Legendary Gems than when he first started spending.

In just a couple of weeks the Quin69 team has spent a astounding NZ$20.915.82 without acquiring the one 5/5-Star Legendary Gem. As the best build would require six such gems, he still has an awful long way to go in order to be at the top of his game. In reality, it's becoming apparent that YouTube channel Bellular News' assertions that it will cost approximately $110.000 to fully upgrade on Diablo 4 may actually have been a huge underestimation on their part.

Of course, saying that Quin69 did not gain anything from the experience is an overstatement. One of the reasons is that the streamer has picked up thousands of new followers across his socials since shooting to fame and will surely have helped to finance his spending. He also has an OP setup on Diablo 4. as evidenced by his daily excursions within the world of PvP.

NZ$20.000 may not be enough to ensure a 5/5-Star Legendary Gem, but it could be enough to purchase some decent gear. As a result, Quin69 has a tendency to get double-digit kill streaks on Diablo 4's PvP, though because of how much he has spent on the game and its pay-to-win nature and the fact that it's a pay-to-win game, this might be be expected. The players are always quick to point out this with comments like "well earned" and "nice pay" popping up in chat when he brags about his accomplishments.

Some have gone as in the direction of naming Quin69 as part of the problem. Some have even suggested it is because his reckless expenditure can influence viewers to bet with money they aren't able to afford to lose, and also being a reason to justify those in charge of the game's massive monetization. Others have expressed concern over the streamer's mental health, in addition to the millions of dollars he's already thrown away to play Diablo 4 but also due to the anger that is often displayed when things aren't going his way in-game.
