What a colossal train wreck this whole announcement has been. Should've been saved for PAX like Hearthstone's announcement.

Either leave the comments as they are or completely disable them. Removing comments makes you look worse.

The only thing worse than not announcing a new Diablo, was announcing a Diablo Mobile.

I just disliked it and I dont even like Diablo lol. At least dont tie it down to mobile devices and do what Bethesda did with ES mobile. Cmon Blizzard

Holy crap, that like/dislike ratio. I know it doesn't mean anything but it's almost already the same as Command and Conquer: Rivals, heh.

Blizzard fans continue to be the worst.

What?
They can't be passionate about their favorite game/franchise and show it? Sure, Diablo 4 is coming AT some point in the future, even Jason Schreier mentioned it on Twitter. Do you want people to just show they're okay with this coming out? (Not like they can prevent it obv). Some people make no sense man lol, first some gamers are like "Vote with your wallet!" then when people vote with their wallets, per say, because they might be showing their opinions a lot more strongly than some like, they're "the worst" .

Whoever thought it was a good idea to announce this game at Blizzcon should be fired.

At least Xbox had the common sense to announce that Gears of War Funko game alongside Tactics and Gears 5. This being the only Diablo announcement at Blizzcon is embarrassing. They deserve all the negativity they are getting.

can't believe people are upset at a brand new Diablo game from the developers of "Fortcraft", "Survival Royale", and "Rules of Survival"

How? This looks like hot garbage and I absolutely love Diablo (I even loved vanilla Diablo 3 and defended it tooth and nails on gaf)

Weird take; it's the fans' faults Blizzard is removing comments critical of their work?

It's not just this. They overreact about every damn thing and send death threats like they're going out of style. Diablo 4 is coming out. If this doesn't appeal to them, then just fucking ignore it.

Lol, just added my dislike. All Blizzard had to do was have a dual announcement, ie, a mobile game and Diablo 4 or mobile game and Diablo 2 Remastered. They should have known a mobile only announcement would go poorly. They could have just said for the 2nd announcement it is a teaser and release in early 2020 or something and it still would have been fine. But dead silence on D4 or D2:R and what do you expect.

have not been paying attention to this, but wow that dislike bar.

When will publishers learn that its fine to have a mobile/spin off game of a beloved franchise, but not when that franchise hasnt had a technically new game for like 7 years

58K people not liking this vid already, holy shit the fans are pissed. People were expecting Diablo 4 or secretly wanting to see something of it, a fucking mobile game was definitely not what they wanted.

(1) They're leaving comments about disliking the direction of their favorite franchise.
(2) If you say "if it doesn't appeal to them, then just fucking ignore it", I hope you're not the same person who complains about other type of issues in video games such as season passes and such. Cause if you do so, then that just makes you look bad lol.

Blizzard just seemed bound and determined to shoot themselves in the foot, again and again. This was such a stupid announcement. And people started raging online almost immediately.

Nintendo knew to announce MP4 alongside the 3DS game last year

TPC knew to announce Gen 8 for 2019 alongside Let's Go

MS knew to reveal more Gears alongside that weird Funko Pop thing

Bethesda knew to acknowledge TES6 alongside their mobile game

Every company has already seemingly learned this lesson and Blizzard still somehow failed at it today.

Naaah, we hated that D3 was too colorful so they put in a colorful teddy bear and unicorn level in response. We complain that Diablo 3 gets no updates compared to PoE, they continue to ignore it. We want D4 or a D2 remaster, something to show us they care about Diablo and they give us some janky looking even more colorful mobile game. It's warranted! This was supposed to be the Blizzcon that featured Diablo. They failed at life.

I've been waiting 4 years since RoS and it wasn't for this.

I knew D4 wouldn't be at Blizzcon but at least D2 remaster or something, not this.. to put it bluntly, garbage.

The reaction to this is basically the same as to Metroid Federation Force. I mean, it's expected. You have a fanbase yearning for something new and you give them a mobile game. Even just ending on a teaser for Diablo 4 would've made the reaction much better, because then you don't have to fend off the people who wanted something with more substance.
