It's a cellphone game so you know it's going to be really good.

I trust you General Bullshit to understand how awesome this is going to be. Don't let me down.

This was announced a long time ago

Why would you admit to knowing that?

Has anyone even played a phone game?

Can a compulsion be considered playing?

Why did you post this? Everyone already knows the poo poo they're doing on mobile with Diablo Immortal and knew much more was coming. Is there any reason I should care about this?

To get more Something Awful points. Not to be confused with Something Awful tokens, which are different than SAbucks. It's very simple.

Ok so it's literally just they kept doing the thing they already did and said they would continue doing. They suck I just don't think it needed a thread or further discussion :shrug:

I was hoping there was something special about it

Wow thanks for this post otherwise I wouldn't know that poo poo will continue to be poo poo and we should not discuss the poo poo thing. Lol.

If you had any faith in blizzard before they announced this, the dummy is you. It's the exact same poo poo they have already been doing and have literally told the public they will continue to do. So I don't find it very interesting. I guess talk amongst yourselves if you're shocked and I'll leave you to it and gently caress off elsewhere

I too keep posting in threads that I find the topic boring. Wait no I don't because that's a weird thing to do and I'm a super cool and not weird person.

then all the articles right after saying the gamers were entitled and racist for not liking it

I can absolutely approve of open disgust towards gamers but you can do that without being an industry suck up.

As much as I'd like to hope it'll flop; it won't. It'll be profitable because there are enough lookyloo WoW fans who will download it and give it a try to give it a boost up the Top Downloaded Apps lists where it'll get visibility to people not in the Blizzard Bubble, and at that point the IP attached to it doesn't really matter.

Really the only way it fails to turn a profit is if they just completely get the balance of gameplay versus ruthlessly exploiting the users for money wrong -- which is actually not totally outside the realm of possibility if it came to Blizzard alone; but the experts at King will have had their fingers in this and most likely kept things on track enough to make a game that'll hook in some whales.

I'm not sure a company like Blizzard could make a non profitable game. No matter how bad it is. No matter how exploitive it is. No matter how much they abuse their employees. No matter how much they show disdain for their customers. It doesn't matter and they know it.
