So people assumed incorrectly and apparently that's Blizzards fault.

To go to a convention to expect something exciting for your game, only to be told that it's a mobile game. At your annual convention. Your annual convention. Not some sort of Gamescon convention, your own. Announcing a mobile game as the big reveal. Look bro, even for those who had absolutely no expectations, this is just a slap in the face.

This is coming from a person who hasn't even touched a Blizzard game for years and never really played Diablo III (yes, I've played some of it though). This is just disappointing. And you know what? I had absolutely no expectations nor was I even aware of anything Blizzard related. I've only saw it after it was announced and that annoyed me. I didn't assume anything.

And did you not read that Blizzard was trying to hype people up about Diablo? You gonna hype people up about Diablo to have them assume that it's nothing more than a mobile game? Is that what interests you? When you get hyped up for something big, would you assume that that something big is a mobile game?

How about some of you guys that think it doesn't look that bad go ahead and play some of Netease's mobile games (which I haven't ever touched either) and tell me that it's not similar and pretty much a reskin of it. Go look at Crusaders of Light and Endless of Gods.

"Blizzard, in partnership with NetEase, has built Diablo Immortal from the ground up for iOS/Android."

Yeah, so it isn't even exclusively Blizzard. Great.
