i disliked the videos, reacted with that angry smile on facebook.
dunno, since every man with a microphone on the blizzcon seems to be a yes-man (except april fools' legend dude), nobody will ask on a professional basis if they really don't have anything else to share. even if there is something in the works, we get set back another year of nothing.
and i seldom fire a game up on iphone / ipad and really play with all my attention to the game i launched. jeez, i play simpsons: tapped out, galaxy of heroes.. that kind of stuff. fortnite mostly to idle a bit, but 3d stuff is always too much needed interaction while i want to see netflix with the missus. never will i ever find myself in the situation of "oh gee, i have 90% battery left. how to drain it effectively?" and then slump on the couch to play another session of diablo immortal.
heck, i can't even find the motivation to play d3 the last.. eight? seasons. but now d3 seems to be the superior product..
No one asked for this, No gamer asked for this. Dumb !@#$ investors asked for this, they dont play games. This is trash there is no coming back from this.
I actually cant believe that this company made billions in just 1-2 years for doing absolutely nothing but reskin old crap for all their games.... that says more about customers than them
Basically people buy every crap without thinking at all....dont worry i know some will say ' hey its my money i can buy w/e i want ' ... dude be smarter. Close your wallet ffs
That's exactly it. The most soul-crushing thing about this is that despite the complaining people WILL play it and Blizzard/Activision WILL make money from it so they'll decide it was a good idea.

All those speculations were true about the mobile game, what's even more concerning is they are classifing this as an mmo, which then takes away from the other rumor.
Haven't been excited at any announcement thus far and this was the icing on the cake for garbage. Zero interest in playing this on mobile. Glad Blizzard is excited about it so they can play with each other.
Anything that is not able to absolutely decimate path of exile in the pc-arpg genre would've been doomed to fail. As long as PoE is alive and kicking, there won't be a D4, or honestly, even a D3Exp2.
Blizzard knew this, so they went a completely different direction with mobile.
The problem is, mobile as it is is more tailored towards the asia market. It most certainly will be successful there. But having this in mind, announcing it with such a big ceremony was the big wrong decision here.
If they would've announced nothing (and just did this in some asia only thing....) or as a side note (like: oh btw we're bringing diablo to mobile, tailored for asia market, but you can play it outside of asia as well) it would've been better than this. everything would've been better than this.
This is the worst PR they could've ever gotten out of that. I feel really sad for blizzard, but the shitstorm which is brewing or already ongoing is self made, and thus deserved. But I still feel sad for them, because blizzard usually had great success with whatever they did. Or at least they hat like neutral reactions (HoTS being the only real thing which isn't a huge success I guess), and now they're getting such an overwhelmingly bad reaction from basically everywhere...
that one house on Halloween that spent all day making candy apples thinking "yes, kids loveeeee candy apples! they will like these candy apples that i spent all day making sooooo much, who doesn't like candy apples!"
kids proceed to throw out candy apples when they get home.
To be honest...Diablo mobile was the most stupid joke for past months...I'v never been sooo dissapointed. Imo they should have found someone else to take Wyatt place loong time ago, he's out of this world...I still remember video where he was excited telling us he got to lvl 46 or somthing in DIablo3...i mean, has he ever seen what comes after u got to 70? xD

Honestly I don’t think the “sky is falling” attitude is warranted.
Plenty of people were plenty excited about the past console releases, and I found them to be vastly inferior to the gameplay experience on PC/m&kb. Clearly this didn’t turn enough people off to keep them from making a Switch version. I’m far more put off by the switch version than a new full title for mobile.
Mobile devices are getting impressive. Whatever one’s personal issue with the features and prices of current gen mobile devices, the simple fact is that they’re successful. Immortal might be a great game - we simply don’t know enough yet.
Anyone ever play Eternium? I think that game is a “proof of concept” that gesture based controls work well for an iso ARPG (imo a better fit than any controller i’ve played with so far). Now consider that Eternium is not a triple-A title with the kind of team and money behind it that Immortal has/will have.
If shop transactions run wild in Immortal, only then will I be disappointed. Do we know anything about this yet?
Regardless - as someone with 26 years of serious gaming (I’d say easily 90% on PC), I think mobile gaming is here to stay, and it is certainly not always a bad thing. Tech and trends move on. Embrace it or be stuck in the past.
....... Unless there’s $99 p2w “micro”transactions. Then screw this, torches and pitchforks.
But until we know more, I simply don’t think the game can be dismissed just because hating on the mobile gaming trend is “cool.”
blizzard is telling us to go play destiny 2 instead of diablo lol. wtf they giving it away for free now.

I just saw on youtube Diablo Immortal Cinematic Trailer. This video has 500+ likes and 16K+ dislikes (including my own).
If u wanna enter the mobile devices market that's ok Blizzard, but please don't forget/disrespect the rest of us.
Blizzard is actually deleting comments on their Diablo: Immortal videos. They fucked up bad with this one.
They are out of touch completely.
You're a wizard Harry.....

not cool
Complete Trash. So sad.

Wyatt Chang is the house that made candy apples.
Diablo Immortal is a candy apple.
To be honest...Diablo mobile was the most stupid joke for past months...I'v never been sooo dissapointed.

Your kids were inside of Wyatt Cheng?
