Bringing it up as emblematic of creator-user disconnect just reeks of entitlement. Sure, you were disappointed that it was a mobile game and Blizzard just doesn’t have a real successor to Diablo ready yet. It’s not even like Immortal is claimed as the successor. It’s only one of the Diablo titles in development. And it keeps coming up in WoW which is unfair. It’s a different team and different property.

Nah man, they earned every bit of criticism announcing a mobile game to a franchise that hasn’t gotten anything good since Reaper of Souls. All of Blizzard needs to take note. Not just 1 team.

I did find that [Do you guys not have jobs?] one pretty cruel, yet poignant.

It was good for like a month then it just got old seeing it literally on anything blizzard related.

It was condescending to say that to their player base. Gamers pay their income not the other way around. They wont live it down, and they should learn from it and not forget, meme stays.

It’s just a series of bad decisions coming from the company as a whole. Not just Diablo tho…
Regardless, the mobile market is huge, and will be bigger in the future. It’s a bold move to build ground into it.

Just like ‘you think you do, but you don’t’ and ‘the horde is there waiting for you’, you could say this one will be…

Who plays diablo, does it on PCs, not screens of mobiles phones!
The crime there, was not to announce that there were no projects ready for PC but to act as if it were something relavante for PC users, when clearly it was not!
This would have been avoided if, from the beginning, they had said they had news for Diablo, but the PC project would not be ready, so it would not be announced!
Blizzard also abandoned anything related to Diablo, which did not involve phones!
Total disconnection with your faithful audience, for years!
They are getting a well deserved fry from the public!
They created this meme! Now live with it!
In a “few months”, people’s moods will calm down!
Until then, Blizzard just needs to hold and keep their smarthphones turned off!

I thought it was hilarious and I don’t even play Diablo. Shows how out of touch they are.
The backlash wouldn’t have been so bad if they did not hype it to begin with. What Grayphus said.

Bethesda did something extremely similar with an inferior product and nobody batted an eye
also this just isn’t true

Because they announced ES6 is coming as well. All they played was a trailer, showing it’s in the works. This apparently, is too complicated for Blizzard.

I get the reasons for it, but I agree the meme is just overused now and lost its charm after awhile.

All memes eventually fizzle out, this one is no different.
Then a new meme will take its place.

The meme exists because it represents blizzards disconnect with the consumer, regardless of team. Being critical isnt “entitlement” it just means you dont like what they are doing.

Yeah, the next blizzard gaffe. Then we’ll have another one to throw on the pile.

Sure it is a different team however it is still Blizzard. Blizzard as a whole has been making bad decisions and even though I myself do not play Diablo, I found it disrespectful to the loyal fan base.
Sure it may hurt Blizzard however, they will hopefully learn. Honestly, I think all they needed to do to make this better was to show that Diablo 4 was in the works and letting the players know they aren’t being ignored.
I do however feel bad for the guy who said it but I do not feel bad for Blizzard as a whole.

The consumer is under no obligation to buy, support or even say nice things about a product that they don’t want.
