The internet is mad again. This time, it’s about Diablo. Can’t wait to play it on android and iOS systems.

Thinkin it’s time to upgrade this old iPhone5 so I’ll be playing the new hit diablo game on something modern.

Diablo seems made for touch screens I don’t understand why the whole internet collectively is upset about it.

Everyone convinced themselves they'd remaster Diablo 2 instead of even more cynically pursuing profits, my man.

i don't really care, and don't ever want to play a phone game regardless, but having it be a reskin of a chinese F2P is sort of lovely

they said they'd never do this because its too much work (they'd basically have to rebuild D2 completely from scratch), and also said right before the show D4 was being worked on but isnt ready to be revealed.

i guess people were hoping they were lying, or that they'd announce anything other than a reskinned chinese mobile mmo

They always announce at least one super gay thing, that is, not something anyone who likes Blizzard poo poo actually wants, at a Blizzcon, and I don't know why anyone would be excited about them announcing the next Diablo anyway. So frankly, it was fail all around, and not the least bit surprising.

they're pretty open about D3 being a disappointment financially because it's not a money geyser like overwatch, and it's the reason they abruptly abandoned it.

so, get HOIPE for the next diablo revolving around gacha mobile nightmare poo poo and still being worse than PoE anyway lol

Diablo 3 is a disappointment philosophically. They should be ashamed of themselves.

Maybe they just want to start making fun games.. for instance instead of another Diablo type game they could something engaging with action and an exciting world . Seems like they hated making Diablo so much that they asked someone in another country to make it instead.

They make games that take up the free time of people that can't distinguish between having fun and spending time doing something other than school or work, if you ask me. It's fail.

I haven’t been paying much attention to this but I guess it must have gone over pretty bad because Activision/Blizzard stock dropped by roughly four billion dollars in the last couple days

It's a shame blizzard doesn't 12 billion dollars lying around to pay 20 people to make a remake of diablo 2. Or make any game at all, ever.

Apparently they also worked on a GBC Diablo game that would have multiple versions a-la Pokémon with exclusive classes and items in each one and link cable trading

Diablo 1 is so loving spooky and ominous. I never really got into the other games but I would still be interested in a remake.

*4 foot fat gay Filipino trots around on stage pushing up his glasses* Yeah baby! Over watch and Hearthstone are having a genre blended battle royale win baby! Preorder Fucktard Hero Tournament and get a hearthstone card that locks up your computer for 45 minutes and makes both players lose, and a Diablo 3 skin of a 1850s chinaman stereotype for the barbarian.
