    I'm not saying they will fail. They probably will not. But boy does blizzard deserve for them to fail.

    How shameless blizzard has become. From the endless reusing of old assets to just the downright lazy development of even their flagship games over the years, it's hard to to tell if they're worse now than they have ever been- or if they have simply always been this bad and it has just become undeniable at this point.

    I wonder if that will announce these at blizzcon. I hope they learned their lesson. Actually, no I don’t. Last time was funny.

    Who did not see this years ago? You know when they bought King that makes candy crush for 5. something billion?

    They were making their move to go into the mobile market big time. Love em or hate em, they make cash hand over fist there.

    Blizzard has kept things really simple, box price and a sub gets you a game filled with features that they keep content rolling for about 2 years. Most MMOs have a heavy handed cash shop and keep you paying for expansions every year that keep getting smaller and ding you for DLCs to boot. WoW is still the king AAA MMO to beat. Your upset at what? Making more money by giving us more games as they support the ones they already made? Lol

    Multiple soulless cash grabs incoming. Let’s beat these dead IPs into the ground and squeeze every last dollar out of nostalgic players yearning for a quick dopamine hit and elusive happy moment.

    I'm ok if they bring out 27" tablets and phones so I can see what I'm doing. No fun getting old and squinting at phone or ipad even with glasses

    This part of the article makes me think someone is saying, "This is like using 1000 grit sand paper instead of 250 grit sand paper to wipe my ass".

    "with our own Garrick stating that the current build in alpha has become one of the "most enjoyable Action RPG experience[s]" he's had on mobile before. "

    One can at least hope the Blizzard mobile games department is the dumping ground for the lazy, unimaginative or hard to work with employees that aren't really bad enough to fire.

    Netease, a chinese company, is working with Blizzard to develop Diablo Immortal, so it's possible that they or another outside company are helping them develop these games too.

    Not surprised in even the smallest increment.I have been saying this awhile now that devs Blizz being one of the worst keep rehashing old popular brands because they have no balls to create a new brand.

    Almost everything they sell has Warcraft embedded into it.
    It was also very obvious when their Diablo mobile was announced they received a huge thumbs down but Blizzard doesn't care,it's board members,investors don't care,they see mobile as a VERY cheap way to introduce new games and receive huge profits from invasive cash shops.

    There is always a few dumbass that like to remind us that it is a busienss and they need to make money.Obviously sherlock but there is also a two way street here,we don't hand money out for charity reasons,we EXPECT the studio to give us their best effort and mobile/cash shops are anything but.

    It is like Blizzard "and others" want their cake and eat it too,hear buy our crap mobiel games and hear spend LOADS of money on our cash shop,HQ game..pffft forget about it,just bring your wallets,your CC's.

    “more frequent premium content”...

    “Multiple mobile free to play Warcraft experiences”...

    ...

    *speechless*

    I find this less insulting than how Blizzard has been getting lazy at storytelling in WOW itself and pushes a lot of important plot development into their tie in books.
  • Scott_JeslisScott_Jeslis Member RarePosts: 637
    My guess one of these will be a turn-based like Star Wars Galaxy Of Heroes and Marvel Strike Force :-)

    Why is this not called Warcraft Cellular if they want this to be seen as a Warcraft game?   There are ancient RTS games in the Warcraft line, plus WOW for their MMORPG fix and plenty of online and offline Diablo for the ARPG market.  A stable multiplayer RTS for the smart phones and based on Warcraft *might* be a real winner.  No need to mix brand names across genres.



    Logic, my dear, merely enables one to be wrong with great authority.
