101k dislikes from when I posted this, and well deserved.

Except that the mobile game is not developed by Blizzard. It's outsourced to NetEase Games from China. And some claim that D:I is just a reskin of their old game.

You should've seen the moment when they announced the game during the BlizzCon opening ceremony, nobody cheered at all. And the Q&A session is worse.

Needless to say, everyone else have spoken about the poor reception of this game during its announcement..

My only gripe with this is that, even if they want to sell part of the IP's licensing and outsource it to an outside developer, at the very least wrap-up the announcement at Blizzcon with a tiny teaser of things we can expect in the next 12 months: more Diablo III content (character DLC, if they are working on it), Diablo IV, Diablo anything that isn't a half-arsed money grabbing syndication of a sleaze fest called 'mobile gaming', then that would at the very least reduce the uproar of rage by most of us.

Look at Bethesda this year at E3. They announced Elder's Scrolls: Blades (also a mobile hack *cough* tap and slash) but wrap up that IP with a tease of Elder's Scrolls VI. Now that, at the very least is forgiving for both the developers/publishers' end as well as fans that prevented any form of ruse.

Don't even get me started on the lore. D:I is supposedly taking place between DII and DIII, and retconning a lot of the lore that was suppose to have already been stated in DIII (e.g. a period of peace, suddenly we're all fighting hordes of hell pulak, bongok siol).

Blizzard is steadily going downhill for their insufferably stupid decisions.
