In an interview with Kotaku, Blizzard co-founder Allen Adham revealed he anticipated a backlash to the announcement, although "not to this degree," saying: The interaction at the convention also spawned the Do You Guys Not Have Phones? meme. Also during the session, the audience could be heard booing after Blizzard announced there were no plans for a PC release of the game (shown below, right). Cheng, and presumably the rest of the Diablo Immortal team at Blizzard and Netease, seem confident that they can “win over a lot of people over time,” it’s just a shame that not everyone can give it a try just yet.On November 2nd, 2018, Blizzard unveiled Diablo Immortal at its annual BlizzCon event (shown below).ĭuring the Q&A session, a man asked stood up and asked the Blizzard team if the game was "an out-of-season April Fools' joke" (shown below, left). The reaction from those who have played it has been positive. To support that, the preview shown at BlizzCon was promising, showing off what could be a brilliant action RPG for mobiles. “We hope to win over a lot of people over time, but I understand that, for people at home, people watching with the virtual ticket, who don't get a chance to actually play it, that can be very difficult, and so I totally understand where they'd be coming from.” I think intellectual curiosity is rooted in scepticism, but when we show people the game, and people get their hands on it, play it, many people who are sceptical kind of go ‘oh, well this is actually quite fun.’ I think if you came to BlizzCon expecting and hoping for a PC announcement, and you don't play mobile games at all, you'd be ‘oh, that's not what I asked for, and this doesn't do anything for me,’ I think it's okay for people to be sceptical. “We were talking earlier today about how a large group of the Diablo community are PC gamers, and they came to Blizzard through PC, and they love the PC platform, and we love it too. We spoke to Wyatt Cheng, lead game designer on Diablo Immortal, as BlizzCon ended about how it’s been to see the reaction online. The gameplay trailer has a similar ratio.
Diablo Immortal was announced at BlizzCon this year, and, to put it gently, the community have not responded well to the news.Īt the time of writing, the cinematic trailer for Diablo Immortal has 419,000 dislikes to just 14,000 likes.
