Basically, Blizzard knew exactly what the fans wanted

- Diablo 4
- Diablo 1/2 remake
- Maybe content for Diablo 3

And then blizzard says to everyone, "get hyped, something big is happening in the diablo world"

And then when it comes time for the big reveal, its fucking nothing. Its worse than nothing, its a reskinned, outsourced, chinese p2w cash grab

And yet some people here dont understand why that would upset fans of diablo

Cash grab is subjective but the the rest is all true

Didn't they warn people that it was not going to be Diablo 4?

I understand not being excited for a mobile game, but shrugging and moving on makes more sense to me than whining about it and feeling betrayed.

Yes, they literally told people not to be hyped because the Diablo announcement was not D4

Obviously this cell phone game means no other Diablo game will ever be made again.

I think a little annoyance is justified. They hyped up a thing no one wanted at all. This means no relevant Diablo news for who knows how long?

Sure, it's easy enough to just shrug and move on but it's news so people will talk about it for a week or two.

But gamers gonna gamers


They skipped Blizzcon 2017 because they didn't have anything.

"were hard at work on the future of Diablo and exploring whats next for the franchise. Please be patient. Our passion for Sanctuary burns as bright as the High Heavens and as hot as the Burning Hellsand were excited to hunker down and get working!"


Then they show up to Blizzcon 2018 with a game they themselves didnt even make which is just a reskin of a chinese ARPG.

But sure. Gamers just being entitled. /s

sounds like they had success but got outta touch with their fanbase. they just about ignored their fans right? they shouldve said from the start that theyre gonna expand into a platform thatll introduce diablo to new players and new customers. thus this mobile game can expand their business in a market past their audience for that ever-loving profit.

Diablo Mobile looks like shit but I'm more put off by how Blizzard is handling the backlash

Saying fuck you to your consumer base is an odd way of doing business but what do I know? \_()_/

Yeah, Blizzard has handled it pretty shitty

From the "Don't you guys own phones?" thing to the "The hate for mobile game is from misogynistic gamers." quote I heard about today.

Although I'm still not sure if it was Blizzard that actually said the misogyny thing yet

They had a Q&A after the announcement and someone asked "is this a April's fool joke."

I mean... it's basically been the go-to tactic for a few years, now.

EA does it all the time.

You sure it was all that recent?

Because I, for one, remember D3's auction house.

D3s release was a misstep, that is true. But that was their only blunder for the longest time. It wasnt until 2016 or so that Blizzard went full idiotic.

Stuff like this happens all the time actually. Dick Smith in Australia is a good example

ah gamers and the assumptions

it's not a bad assumption though, if you follow the mobile game market (inb4lolmobilegames) then you would know that netease only pretty much makes p2w clone/ripoff games, and diablo immortal looks pretty similar to their diablo ripoff game that already exists

it wouldn't have been so bad if they got a reputable mobile developer to actually make it from the ground up (not to say there wouldn't be any backlash at all), but once they announced that it was made by netease all hope was lost
