Diablo Immortal has earned almost £20 million in just two weeks

Despite its controversial launch, Diablo Immortal - Blizzard's pocket-sized Diablo experience - has generated almost £20 million ($24m) since it launched earlier this month.

The game has seen its biggest success in the US, which accounts for 26 per cent of all downloads.
