Take a deep breath and relax, everything is going to be okay.
Stop tunneling the Blizzcon boss and focus on the long term, because that's a better predictor of your overall happiness and enjoyment.
There is no doubt that Blizzard is going to continue to develop awesome games for years (decades) to come. You would be a fool to bet against it.
The stock price is dropping. Cool, I'm ready to buy.
D4 isn't out yet. No sweat, it will be worth the wait.
Games are coming out on mobile that you probably won't play. Don't let it ruin your day.
Find something to do you enjoy (that isn't complaining about what you don't like) and be patient. They've heard you. It's gonna get fixed.
If you still need something to calm you down, go watch Jaina's Warbringer video again. It's absolutely incredible:

This is all giving me anxiety.
Blind optimism is more annoying then educated pessimism.

Isn't this the same sentiment that came with Warlords of Draenor? History repeats itself I guess.

Are you an Activision Blizzard shareholder, OP?

BfA is a poo-filled dumpster fire, A-B's other franchises are all meh or outright failing, Blizzard's response is arrogant, rigid, and to copy-paste their IP into a Chinese dev's known for exploiting customers.
Its hard to find any positives.

Yeah, Blizzard is perfectly fine. They even turned a certain streamer who shall remain nameless away from Blizzcon.

I always play the long game. For years I asked for a version of the game I was only mildly interested in (and will play) in hopes that Classic TBC and Classic Wrath might someday happen.
For years I cried out against The Wall of NO!, and it finally fell. With age comes patience, at least for me.

Beats all the running around screaming “the sky is falling the sky is falling!”

Everything is not ok, retail currently is total garbage and blizzard is putting out original Diablo lore strictly on moblie.

Yes, and Legion was really good.
Blizzard future is run by micro-transition and will get worst until Activision eats their very soul completely.

I said everything will be okay. Big difference.
With respect to Diablo, you’re upset that Immortal won’t available on PC? I understand the missing lore piece I guess. I don’t think you would want to play Immortal on the PC given that it’s tailored for a different audience.
Nope the big upset after a decade that’s all their focus been on. Mobile Marketing. That’s not what this company is about as whole. They’re based on PC games and if they wish to branch off that’s fine, but let it be known as a side project and not some big major announcement. It was unprofessional of them to do that and pretty much that’s been Blizzard trend for awhile.
Now that classic is coming only tells me things are grim for WoW no matter what they do. They really haven’t changed anything, but with Activision sneaking their games on our launcher just goes to show it’s only a matter of time before it’s completely swallowed.
I agree that Activision influence is likely the reason they’re after the mobile market. Where we don’t agree perhaps is that adding mobile games to the catalog necessarily means the imminent death of the best game production house ever (IMO). I understand some concern from the company on their new direction, however I see years worth of “wins” in their column and only a handful of “losses”. I’m optimistic and willing to give them the benefit of the doubt that they stay true to their core values, their core fans, and continue to publish awesome games.
Thing is they only stayed half true towards their fans and the core values of the game. Everything else is profit and how much they want to milk us, but it’s starting to show and fans are getting even more discourage a franchise they once loved is actually falling, but I suppose that’s a good thing. Let’s see how they recover in future works.
Profit is necessary and expected. So is quality and fun. It’s a balance. There are a lot of competing interests, limited time and resources, and well frankly really high expectations from fans and developers alike. They will learn from the Diablo fiasco and fix it things going forward, why wouldn’t they?
