Also, to add to all of what happened at the con itself, let's not forget that Blizzard deleted the trailer for this game on YouTube and reupload it in order to reset the dislike counter, as well as deleting comments.
This guy from Reddit has every right to be pissed. Can't even imagine.
I was pissed at the beginning, but I don't mind now. As long as proper Diablo 4 is still in the working. Now I guess D4 will be slated for 2022 ?
Which is ironic because WoW's official forums is one of the most toxic boards of the internet.Blizzard severely underestimates the ire of the gaming culture almost daily.
I'm sorry but how the fuck did Diablo fans not know a new Diablo (core) game wasn't going to get announced? Blizzard basically spelled it out for everyone before Blizzcon. I haven't played a Diablo game and I knew that.
I mean, let's be real, if you got Boogie to pick a side, you know you fucked up.

They spelled it out a couple weeks ago. People buy tickets months in advance.I'm sorry but how the fuck did Diablo fans not know a new Diablo (core) game wasn't going to get announced? Blizzard basically spelled it out for everyone before Blizzcon. I haven't played a Diablo game and I knew that.
Stop lieing. The mobile game is totally reskinned. They made this cause Activision loves money and wants more from the east. Activision does not give a fuck about the loyal Blizzard community as long as they get that money from the east.
I can't feel all that sorry for somebody that spent $2000+ just to attend a possible product announcement. Sounds like he has his head up his ass -- "haven't taken a vacation in 10 years"...."Blizzard products will forever feel like 'just a game' to me now".This guy from Reddit has every right to be pissed. Can't even imagine.
Even Pachter was surprised. As always everyone's just supposed to nod and agree
Yeah, because booking a flight and hotel and buying a Blizzcon ticket can be done within 2 weeks, especially considering that Blizzcon was sold out by the time they told fans to temper their expectations after months of hyping up there being a big Diablo announcement at Blizzcon.

Activision has nothing to do with it, they're complete different publishers and just sister companies.
Why are you giving that animal a platform here?!Here's a video breakdown on how Blizzard are fudging the numbers for the Diablo: Immortal trailer
MOD EDIT: Removed video
It wouldn't help at all unfortunately especially if it's a year or two out we would see the same negativity as always. It happened after diablo 3 with the colors and just the internet in general. I wish they had something else to announce but it even seems like d2 remastered will be next year if not later. It's a losing situation for them because people are pretty unreasonable.It would help if they just came out and said: "We are working on Diablo 4"
But it may be too early or they may think it would come off really weak if it was forced on them to make the announcement like this.
Yes I realize that was done in advance. I'm more confused on the shock some people seem to be having as it happened though. Only rumors I saw related to Diablo leading up to the event were Diablo 2 remaster and Diablo mobile.

If I spend 3000 dollars to go to the superbowl to support my team and they lose because someone got injured or the coach got sick, I can be disappointed, but it's not my team's fault I decided to go.
No one "did this" to him.
I love how people don't even care whether or not this game is good, they've just decided they don't want it, because it's a mobile game.
I mean, will they? I get the feeling the "alienated" fans will be right back for Diablo 4.This is the primary point I think a lot of defenders are missing.
It's not a game developed by Blizzard. It's a reskinned version of the games NetEase is known for making, this time with recycled D3 assets slapped on top of it. It's a cynical cash grab.
They will make an incredible amount of money in its actual target market, but they will alienate the dedicated fan base they've built up over the years. It's essentially selling them out for the big bucks, which is just a continuation of the trend set by other publishers.
Money means more than anything to the corporations making this stuff, so defending this on any level is just boot licking.
He can feel disappointed, but that post reads as if Blizzard slighted him purposefully and personally.Are you telling a person they don't have the right to feel upset?
Personally I don't want it because it's a clone of a clone with reused assets made by a company whose primary market refers to as pig farmers due to the treatment of it's customers. The concept of the game is something I can get behind as I enjoyed battleheart legacy, but unlike that it's evident that scant effort has been put into immortal.
Between the announcement, this thread and the thread where they say the mobile game is intended for hardcore PC diablo fans I'm convinced everyone in charge at Blizzard has gone insane. No one can be this tone deaf and be successful.
Last I knew Kotick oversees the entire company of Activision/Blizzard.
They deliberately upped theDiablo hypeduring the middle of the year and the tickets sale period, and then backtracked a couple of weeks before the event itself. It's transparent as hell.They spelled it out a couple weeks ago. People buy tickets months in advance.
That guy is a gamer gater ''Anti SJW'' alt right scumbag and made a video trashing this site. Lets not give that nutcase any exposureHere's a video breakdown on how Blizzard are fudging the numbers for the Diablo: Immortal trailer

They didn't. They showed off a product he wasn't interested in and he took it personally...for some reason.

Were there even any D4 rumors when Blizzcon tickets went on sale in May?
Only thing worse I can think to do to a PC based crowd would be to announce Half life 3 Mobile...I almost want it to happen now
If that were true, it would make Blizzard even more out of touch with their fanbase to make an outsourced mobile game deliberately.
errrNo, God, this is just so stupid. A right to be pissed? Are you serious?
