Shit was announced like 3 years ago to resounding mockery and anger. They just announced the beta will come midway through this year, so like, summer time.

It's also being developed by a particularly awful Chinese mobile company known for pay to win bullshit, more so than others lol.

Netease is not a company to be trusted. I made the mistake of playing one of their mmos before.

It's going to come out and make them an obscene amount of money, and there's nothing we can do about it.

Blizzcon are the exact people who would, the mistake was ending with it. There's a reason why there are 2938484738 mobile diablo games.

Plus as op proves, there's nothing the internet loves to do more than hate something. I have no interest in plenty of mobile games, so, I just don't play them.

Nope. Blizzcon attendees are PC fans, not mobile.

No. While there would be some mad people, most people wouldn't have given a shit and cheered if they showed D4 on a black screen along with immortal.

I thought it was released a while ago and just got buried in the flooded mobile market.

Blizzcon attendees are gamers. You know path of exile announced their mobile game at exilecon right? But they also announced poe2. Making immortal the big final reveal, very dumb. Announcing it at blizzcon, very fine. Blizzard already has a very popular mobile game called hearthstone. You might have heard of it.

No. They are PC gamers, as almost everything Blizzard made are PC games. Even Hearthstone started as PC game. Most gamers hate mobile games to begin with. Huge giant money sinks.

Extremely pay to win now. They weren't initially, but all their games now have major pay to win mechanics. Also their customer support I utterly trash. They had a fairly popular mmo, crusaders of light, but the community abandoned ship hardcore with all their changes and increased monetization.

You literally can't be a good player in that game without paying now.

yeah that announcement was basically just for the shareholders to let them know they'd be pursuing the chinese market even more

it's actually a rather perfect microcosm in how blizzard operates now
