They hyped up a Diablo reskin of Crusaders of Light. I’m not a big Diablo fan but damn that’s lazy. To top it off they hyped up a DIablo announcement and decided to reveal mobile game to a PC gaming crowd.

Did Capcpom do this whole “Entitled Gamer” bullshit with SFV and MVCI?
Hopefully the Blizzard hardcore faithful can do what the Fighting Game Community did, and simply toss the dumpster fire into a proper back alley bin, somewhere out of sight, turn, put on their Noel Gallagher face, and walk the fuck away.

I’ve seen this song and dance before. NetEase came to you all with this shit. It’s ok, bby. You can admit it. You didn’t come up with this. Had you come up with this, you wouldn’t have shoved Wyatt out there to get eaten by wolves, but rather the lead designer on said team that definitely worked in Anaheim-California-Not-Haidian-District-Beijing-China out on stage. But such a person literally does not exist.
Because Blizzard did not design this game. Blizzard didn’t even want to make new assets for it. I would wager Blizzard leadership, particularly Wyatt , didn’t even want this game to exist. But you know who probably did? Activision.
Strike 0: Putting it on mobile, and announcing it to a group of core PC gamers at your biggest event of the year and not following it up with a real game is just peak stupid. This is the sort of shit that happens behind closed doors with investors because they’re literally the only people in America who get excited about exploiting the population of China with some shovelware.
Strike 1: This game is… canon? Wait. You’re really going to continue the running-gag-of-a-story that is Diablo with a mobile game literally not a single fan of the franchise asked for? But, why?
Strike 2: Claims that this was developed by Blizzard. No, it certainly fucking was not. There is not a single human being at Blizzard that could possibly make that claim with a straight face and it’s why Wyatt, henceforth The Sacrificial Lamb, is dancing around answering this like Michael Flatley.
Strike 3: “Do you guys not have phones?” Do YoU gUyS nOt HaVe PhOnEs? Fuck you, Blizzard. Do you have any idea who comes to BlizzCon? The fuck is wrong with you? Of course we have fucking phones, you goddamn S-Tier morons. Who the fuck are you anyway? Seriously. Fuck you.
Honestly, I had no idea Blizzard became a part of Activision. Had to read up on some history.

And he immediately follows up these points by dumb stuff like this:
It’s just staggering in its stupidity. Could you even imagine if Half-Life 3 were announced as an iOS title? “But we did a great job with the FPS controls on cell phones,” says Gabe Newell to the angry mob. Do you see how stupid that is?
Guess what, there’s no Diablo IV on Mobile. Awful comparison to prove your ‘point’.
I stand my ground: the angry mob just makes me shake my head. And I’m not even looking at this from the outside because I was, technically, in a similar situation when Nintendo announced Metroid Prime: Federation Force a few years ago. But I didn’t spend 40 hours of my 48 hour-weekend raging on the web about it.
Show me who spent 40 of their 48 doing that, please.
Because that’s kind of as awful or worse an anology than the one you admonished.
What should I name my Mario Maker stage? It’s down to ‘bop adventure’ or ‘chadouken’s poop’.

Hyperbole must be a new thing for you.
Unintentional-irony must be your middle name.
“POOP, goes chadouken!”
Dysfunctional-dictionary seems to be yours at least.
I reiterate.
But if you mean to say you weren’t slamming the Diablo 4 mobile comparison, while in the same sentence using an even worse, even more inapt comparison, with the sole intent of being ironic, well I am sorry.
For you.
Chadouken’s poop, because I’m gonna beat the shit outta that level

I’m shaking my head at blizzard for trying to bury the backlash. They have been deleting comments and have reuploaded the announcement trailer to try to skew the dislike ratio the trailer has gotten. It’s just making things worse.

Quit being entitled.
You are not owed the truth, facts, or corporations acting with any sort of integrity.
What do you think this is?

You’d think that most game developers/publishers would learn from the mistakes of others…
ohooooo yeah, Yong is digging further into that situation
*on another note— my new wizard in Switch version D3 is now level 45 already with around 200k gold(heh, since gold drops like candy from a pinata in this game… which was quite different from how it was back in 2012 launch-era D3)… I just have the wizard and a level 11 Necromancer for now.
*I JUST noticed there’s alternate language/voice packs on this version! I may get a german or japanese one to mix it up…though they are hefty at a few gigs a piece. It would be nice if I could just apply the voice change to the characters and keep all the text in english though.
Some annoying shit— unfortunately I’ve found that you CAN’T turn off the goddamn rumble feature in this game. Controller options just show you a picture of what all the buttons do…you can’t change anything. That’s just strange, man… I’ve never seen a game where you have no option of turning that shit off. 99% of the time I actually don’t like that feature; it just gets annoying FAST. The only game where that feature was utilized in an interesting way was Metal Gear Solid, imo…which was 20 years ago. In literally every game since then I immediately go into the options to turn it off asap.
