"Diablo 4 Billboard Complaint Sparks Hilarious Response from Ad Standards"

TL;DR Summary
Advertising standards officials have dismissed a complaint about a Diablo 4 billboard in Melbourne, which a person claimed reminded them of the "hell" of lockdown and caused offense to Christians. The Ad Standards Community Panel dismissed the complaint, noting the comma between "hell" and "Melbourne" and stating that the ad does not imply the city itself is hell. The panel also compared the image of the game's antagonist to Disney's Maleficent and highlighted other odd stories surrounding Diablo 4. The game has been a commercial success but has faced criticism for its microtransactions.
