Most BlizzCon announcements are met with enthusiasm from the gathering of
Blizzard fans, but the company really stepped in it with
yesterday's
announcement of
Diablo: Immortal, a new installment in the action/RPG series
being created for mobile devices. The response
on the Diablo Reddit raking
Blizzard over the coals suggests there may have been a better way to handle
this, as they made the mistake
of
hyping this announcement which raised hopes for a proper PC game. As an
example of the discontent this is causing, one can look at the
Diablo Immortal Cinematic
Trailer on YouTube. Blizzard's cinematics usually generate incredibly
positive responses, but as of this writing, the clip has 7.7k upvotes and 232k
downvotes.
