Matter of opinion; spam being stupid pointless annoying messages. Since most promotional email actually have a purpose, that’d make them sam rather than spam. Though I’m pretty sure OP’s original thought was “Diablo Immortal is as bad as rubbish, we should treat it as such”. However, just for the sake of argument…: we can’t spesifically opt in or out of these emails about Diablo Immortal. It’s promotional emails about all Blizzard games, or none.

It’s a very nice cop-out because it gives them plausible deniability, which apparently worked on you.
Keeping to the letter of a random law (one that likely got de-fanged by lobbyists) is no excuse. Everybody, the companies included, knows that almost nobody wants those messages. They do it for the 5-10% of people that will actually make a purchase based on them.
It’s like throwing a big fishing net.
I’m sure that break some kind of European law.
European law has huge teeth. Ask Microsoft.
Yeah, that’s true, but the problem with GDPR is that many offenses go unreported.
