Earlier this month, after BlizzCon's schedule unintentionally started a sensationalistic rumor mill, Blizzard issued a statement on the officialÂ Diablo blog essentially tellings players to temper their expectations. Additionally, a cursory Twitter search yields the same types of reactions with few fans maintaining a positive outlook on the upcoming game.ĭespite fan frustration, it's hard to blame Blizzard for the overwhelming vitriol directed at them. It isn't just Reddit that's ragging onÂ Diablo Immortal.Â The game's cinematic trailer on YouTube has a terrible like-to-dislike ratio, currently sitting at 3,000 likes and 76,000 dislikes. Other r/Diablo Reddit threads house similar attitudes containing just as much vigor there are fans that wish Blizzard announced a remasteredÂ Diablo game (' Not evenÂ Diablo 2 remaster.'), fans that are trying to make light of the situation (' Curb YourÂ Diablo 4'),Â and fans that can't help but think that Blizzard pulled a practical joke on them (' Is this an out of season April Fools joke?'). Another commenter agreed with this sentiment, replying, 'Acting like this is the biggest development of the franchise in years? That's the cardinal sin.'These are just three of the 727 (and counting) comments present in the thread.

'I am still in disbelief that this is their actual, only announcement for Diablo,' reads another top comment. 'We got a mobile game, when the community has been INSANELY vocal about what we want,' the writer continued.Others in the Reddit thread shared the same sentiment. 'This is actually one of the most embarrassing things i've ever seen,' reads one of the top comments in the thread. Suffice it to say, Diablo fans wereÂ not pleased.Shortly after Blizzard's announcement, a Reddit thread titled ' Blizzard, Diablo on mobile is a slap in the face' rose to the top of the r/Diablo subreddit. Earlier today, during a presentation at BlizzCon 2018, Blizzard announcedÂ Diablo Immortal,Â a new mobile title in theÂ Diablo franchise.
