Diablo: Immortal is Ok, Unlike Blizzard’s Entitled Fan Base | COGconnected

COGconnected: So you all feel "betrayed". You wish you could have had your precious Diablo 4 announcement. Instead, you got a mobile game. Well, how about before you take a dump all over it, why not check out how Diablo: Immortal actually plays?

[CyberSentinel]

I’m approving your article or clicking on your clickbait link. 👎🏾

[Nitrowolf2]

Sad thing, with a title like that people are gonna come in here and call them out.

I suggest everyone to just ignore it, move along. It’s bait and they know it. Why go call people out for a preview of the game? You know there’s an agenda when you have to word the title like that

One comment here equals more coverage for this article.

I will say, people are upset for various reasons, my main issue why bring a mobile phone game to a pc centric event. You ain’t winning your fan base over with moves like that

[Cobra951]

Well, I clicked on the main page link, to bring me here and express my derision for the source of the headline. I have no intention of giving that source a click. In short, I'm supporting N4G, not those other cretins.

[fr0sty]

I don't see what the fuss is about, Diablo is well suited for a touch screen interface. As long as we get a proper console/PC diablo soon, I'd say let them have it.

[Nitrowolf2]

@frosty

It’s not that the game is coming to mobile is the issue, it’s that as I said, mostly cause they presented a mobile game to the wrong audience, followed by the lack of news that there will be a new one coming to pc . Even if it’s a far ways out, they could have just hinted.

That right there is why many feel betrayed and are upset. Blizzard showed up and presented a mobile future for Diablo without telling its main fans that there’s something Igor them coming

[Skull521]

What fan base? I think Blizzard fans realized the old Blizzard is gone and Activision has reared it’s ugly head. I don’t think Blizzard has fans anymore after this announcement.

[UCForce]

This is bad move from Blizzard.

[MeteorPanda]

aye, l'm not clicking, l'm just pissed anyone thinks a grand announcement was a mobile game to pc fans was appropriate

[Godmars290]

Really reason to blacklist the site.

[CaptainObvious878]

Nothing to see here, folks. Just another npc "journalist".

[Nyxus]

Any mobile game is an automatic pass for me.

[Godmars290]

Because:
1) Controls.
2) F2P = Psychologically designed to make players spend more than any reasonable suggested retail price, or worse, to exploit addictive personalities. Specifically targeting those who unfortunately could end up spending thousands.

[PhantomS42]

Insulting people you want reading your article is not exactly how you get them to read it. The title alone is sad and pathetic, don't need to read any more.

[Cobra951]

Exactly. You don't have to get past the headline to know they're just looking to pick a fight. They're not roping me in. This N4G comment page is as far as I go.

[pwnmaster3000]

Dude I swear gamers are the most sensitive group lol. Man/women up kids. They already damn near confirmed it’s being made. It’s probably not just ready to be revealed. There is several games to play right now while you wait

[PhantomS42]

You're clearly missing the bigger picture if you think this is only about Diablo 4 not being announced. But here we go with another "you aren't allowed to speak up about bad decisions, flaws in games like RDR2 or the way developers treat fans".

[InKnight7s]

Oh here we are fanboys are crying and dying do defend there fav money sucker [devil]opers

[Godmars290]

Or exploit the situation for hit/traffic/money.

[Kabaneri]

With the amount of support Diablo 3 got from the community, and the amount of different versions they have released, its pretty disappointing we got this mobile trash instead of Diablo 4.

[Snookies12]

It's not even the fact that this game exists... It's the fact that they spent development time on this, instead of Diablo 4...

Granted, it could have been a small team, or perhaps the main team is working on WoW Classic and Warcraft 3 remake. Still though, they must have known how much fans wanted a new full entry into this series. I don't understand why they're surprised by the backlash.

[arkard]

It's a Chinese team, it's outsourced. It's still stupid of them to do this. It would have been one thing to do it behind scenes and launch it, but no, they literally dedicated part of blizzcon to it.

[rdgneoz3]

@arkard. Exactly. They dedicated blizzcon, a convention that fans spend hundreds or thousand or so to attend and a similar amount on PC gaming rigs, to a mobile game from China that will have MTs up the ass. Basically an insult to their fans in attendance .

[Vegamyster]

Sorry but customer is king, they're the ones that spend money to support their work, without us they're out of work. It's also stupid to announce this kind of game at Blizzcon which is made up of primary hardcore PC gamers, not the average consumer.

[blm504]

I agree with this article titled gamers have lost they ever loving mines over the past few years

[MWH]

what is this? They VS. Them mini-series?

Author, you like mobile games good for you but other platform owners and hardcore diablo fans have the right to differ.
and let this be clear; the fans did not hate on Immortal in itself or mobile games in general, it's the way Blizzard played them to believe that there's something big in the making and them paying money and effort to be in the event to see it first hand. do you get this or not? at least try.

[OhReginald]

we always get these clickbaity articles like this right after a game was announced that the hardcore fans aren't happy about. Look whats happening to fallout 76. just google "fallout 76 entitled fans" and just how many damn articles/ threads/ posts pop up on it. But I think this whole situation with diablo immortal is a lot worse by going mobile. At least fallout 76 is on console/ pc.

[Rachel_Alucard]

Everytime the viewers of said websites encounter a controversy, that pits them all on one side. Every single website will jump to the other side and lay bait opinions for easy hits. It's been happening for years and most websites stay alive because they know hate brings views. If people were more perceptive of this tactic then they wouldn't be doing it. Sadly, most think expressing an obvious opinion to an easily deconstructed argument will get them to stop.

[elazz]

How can you say that when half a million unique individuals expressed their concerns

[Father__Merrin]

elitest fanboys crying over nothing act like grown men for once. if they want to make a diablo mobile then so be it ti should be successful, they can still work on diablo 4 or a diablo 2 remake. to miff them off even more they should stick diablo as console exclusive

[MWH]

I want you to meet an old friend and I will leave you two together, you know, to get reacquainted. oh, his name is Pazuzu.

[pwnmaster3000]

I totally agree, they need to man/women the hell up and realize there is probably stuff behind close doors that’s stoping them from showing the trailer for diablo 4.
I rather a good trailer then a shitty one. If they put out a trailer and it’s not ready then I’m pretty sure the fan base will still be crying, talking about it’s crap.

They damn near confirmed it’s being made, just be an adult and be patient.

[XiNatsuDragnel]

Srry try again

[BLow]

We are not entitled. Well gamers are now days but this is not one of the cases. We just have a problem with you announcing a mobile game at a big event like this when CLEARLY this is NOT the audience to do it for. These are the hardcore players. The people that are watching this are the hardcore. Most hardcore players can care less about a mobile game. That's the problem and the fact that he media can't grasp this simple concept is odd to me.

There is no problem with making moble games. The only problem is you announced it at this event. That's the problem where you know what the audience and the people watching it REALLY wanted. That's not being entitled but more disappointed because we expected more. Now don't pay attention to the rude and childish comments. We can't help that but to the majority of us, this was a disappointment. Plain and simple.

Put it like this, I bet you since this is so great and we are so out of touch, then I dare them to try this again and see how it goes. We shall see at their next show since we are so entitled....

This was actually refreshing commenting on this because this was about a game that we all want and had nothing to do with the fanboy crap we see on here all the time. We need to get back to this and I miss it.....

[Critic4l_Strik3]

Shouldnt this kind of stuff get approved before being posted? . Where do i dislike the article?

[CrystalFantasy3]

I've been triggered

[2pacalypsenow]

Fu** off

[JEECE]

Lol nice to see that the "call anyone you don't like 'entitled'" fad is returning for another go around.

[william_cade]

paid content

[Garrett_the_GOD]

Its sad these socalled "journalists" have to resort to clickbait tactics in order to get folks to actually click on their trash articles..maybe if these "journalists" were good at their jobs they wouldnt have to take the trolling path

[Smokehouse]

Attack your readers and their preference, that makes sense lol. Entitled for wanting another official installment? Get lost lmao.

[81BX]

Day 1 purchase. Good article

[XiNatsuDragnel]

Day never* there corrected you ;)

[81BX]

Naw. That's for you salty kids. Day 1 my dude!

[XiNatsuDragnel]

Naw man correction We'll salty my dude day never*** I'm going to keep correcting u my dude;)

[InTheZoneAC]

Is there a way I can block articles from certain authors and block certain sites so that I never see them on here?

[wonderfulmonkeyman]

Alternative article title: "The Triggering: Deal with Diablo Edition."

[Silly gameAr]

Keep telling people what they want instead of what they're asking for. That's the future of gaming I guess.

[Xaevi]

why do gaming sites insist on being against gamers? entitlement has nothing to do with the recent backlash against Diablo: Immortal. This was announced at Blizzcon right? a gaming convention dedicated to all that is Blizzard, and for their fans which are primarily PC gamers, and some console gamers who enjoyed Diablo 3 and Overwatch. perhaps expectations were a bit too high, but they could've announced anything other than this and it would've been fine. instead they choose to waste time announcing a mobile game of a beloved series to the wrong crowd. any hate that they get is definitely deserved, death threats excluded

[jmtstan]

the thing is, when people heard about coming to Mobile, first thing they think of is microtransactions, even the paid apps has small microtransactions. It doesn't feel as grand as main series. What mobile game you can think of, is as grand as Breath of the Wild, or Horizon Zero Dawn when they're out? I can understand the outrage. i'd be pissed too if they decided to "Final Fantasy XVI, coming soon to Apple App Store & Google Play Store..."

[Tross]

"Blizzard's entitled fan base" is going to be so interested in reading your article. /s Also, is there a law against disliking mobile games or something? People have every right to be unhappy that we got this BS instead of a proper follow-up.

[MeteorPanda]

ahhh...no. Sure it will sell. but the people it sells to are not the same people who bought virtual and real life tickets to go to blizzcon for the announements and other stuff. your long time fans - the people who put you on that goddamn high throne of gaming...you let them down. So enjoy trying to grab the attention of the flimsy and fickle mobile market as you throw away subs from warcraft and you shit in your nest even more

Btw i unsubbed from wow and now play ffxiv andmaple story 2 is amazing. l reccomend for anyone to try these two games out. maple story has servers in oce!

[MrVux000]

"So you all feel "betrayed". You wish you could have had your precious Diablo 4 announcement. Instead, you got a mobile game. Well, how about before you take a dump all over it, why not check out how Diablo: Immortal actually plays?"

Obvious click bait is obvious, so i wont read past what was posted on N4g.
From the look of this quote...sure... some of us may be "entitled", but at least we are not acting like a little generalizing-c*nt.

[Traingamez]

outrage at anything is a sign of a weak mind and character, all organisms try to exploit all recourses around them to increase their survival, happiness and well being. This is just humanity 101. The masses are dumb cash cows.

welcome to the world cattle

this place is a farm

[Kostche]

Bring back voting sites down please N4G, and blocking content from them

[BlackDoomAx]

These aren't the articles you're looking for. *makes a rotating twitst with the hand*

[Dragonscale]

Can't believe they were so surprised at the reaction tbh lol.
