Welcome to the future that this random guy in a red shirt warned us about.ĭontinquire: Is this, uh, an out-of-season April Fools' joke? Matthew Berger: Yeah, you guys all have phones, right? Wyatt Cheng: Do you guys not have phones? This didn’t deserve that level of promotion.After creating a gaming experience that defined an entire genre, and carefully preserved its reputation by only releasing a sequel once a decade, discover what happens when Blizzard sheds every designer that matters, and finally falls prey to the eventuality all video game IPs will face: getting a watered-down mobile version that doesn't even pretend that it's not trying to grind money out of you like you're a Nephalem Rift. I think when it all comes down to it, it’s the choice of venue for the announcement that annoyed people. Had Blizzard announced this game at any other juncture, for example piggy-backing off an Intel or AMD event, people wouldn’t have minded as much. I’m still a bit aghast at the audacity of the “You got mobile phones right?” comment. Giving us no news on Diablo 4, they instead expected us to get really excited about a mobile version of the game. I think the biggest mistake Blizzard made here was the hype behind the announcement.
So how exactly did Blizzard go wrong with this? What Went Wrong? This easily puts it into one of the worst rated videos on the hosting platform.
That’s A Lot Of Thumbs DownĪt the time of writing, while the video does have 23,000 likes, it also has 613,000 disliked. It seems though that the dislike of the announcement has translated onto the YouTube video with it currently being down votes by over 600,000 people. This was, after all, the ‘finale’ of their opening. I don’t even think it’s the announcement as such, it’s the hype that they built up around it. I’m not quite as ardently hateful of it as some people, but I think we can all agree that in terms of a ‘big announcement’ Blizzard screwed up with this. When Diablo Immortal was announced at Blizzcon, many people, including myself were very unhappy. Diablo Immortal Trailer Receives Huge Down Votes On YouTube
