Yeah I don't see myself being in the mindset to ever get that offended over a mobile game.

There's a difference between criticizing it, making fun of it or whatever and acting like you're being personally insulted by it. I can understand the former but not the latter.

It might be harsh, but it stems from valid critisism. How was he being a "manchild"? Nobody has to hold the developers hands and tell them its going to be ok.

Because instead of using the opportunity to ask the developers a valid question (even one that was critical) he decided to use it for a petty insult instead.

This stuff really should be common sense. If you're not happy with a service or product you don't just respond with insults or attempt to embarrass them.

Doesn't matter if it's a waiter, store clerk or a game developer on a stage.

Sometimes a product is so shit that there is no redeeming value in it. Thats what the diablo fanbase believes about the mobile game.
The question still served its purpose in telling the developers they are out of their minds.

The game is beyond critisism. That doesnt mean that people cant ask if its a joke. Obviously its not a joke, but its quite pathetic that this is what Blizzard has to give and thats the entire point of calling it a joke. I dont understand how you dont see this.

I already did. Blizzards stance on it is that its not a reskin, Internet whiners are adamant that it is.

I dont care who you listen to, if that really matters to you, go on and have your fit. its a mobile game, I have zero expectations, Im not holding anyone accountable for the quality of it. I barely care about this at all, but thanks to all the internet whining the game is on my radar and Im going to give it the benefit of the doubt just because it looks halfway decent.

But whats really funny to me is how generic Diablo is as a game, literally any company can make a clone so thats imperceptible to the real thing. Thats why it doesnt matter who makes the fucking thing lol. Literally anyone could make this exact game. Its the fried egg of video games, so basic, so simple that it really doesnt matter who makes it.

"Stop expressing your opinion if you don't like something"


Like I just mentioned. Youre giving all this attention to a game that, in your opinion, doesnt deserve it. I literally only checked his game out due to the response. No publicity is bad publicity is extremely true in this case.

What do you expect to happen at this point? They stop developing the game? Oh no its going to do better than ever. You can sit around and wait for your apology from Blizzard I guess. Thats about all youre going to get.

Oh and theyre going to look like fucking HEROES when they do actually announce Diablo 4. Everyone feeling disappointed and disenfranchised right will rejoice that its actually happening and theyre listening. Like the dude who said he was going to leave this topic and didnt, they wont actually have the backbone. Theyre going to buy in day one, preorder the deluxe edition, they havent lost any real customers here.

Lol this is just a win win for them. Their irrelevant mobile game is getting all this free press and theyve lit a fire under Diablo fans who will show nothing but love and support for next instalment.

Yeah go ahead and keep whining if you like. Its hilarious to me and definitely not doing what you think its gonna do for Blizzard.
