You told all Blizzard fans and followers and gamers that you have all of your best developers working with Mobile Games? I produced Mobile Games in my past and for example completing 1 Mobile Game took about 4 months with crew of 6 people and we did it extremely easy mode in terms of timetables.
So Im asking:
Your announcement happened over 13 months ago. So if Blizzard has over 3K+ employees where are your Mobile Games?
And where is your Diablo Immortal?
Dare to answer?
i dont care about mobile games, but i reckon a game like diablo takes a bit more time to create unlike most glorified flash games that get sold as mobile games. An actual 3d game probably takes a bit more time than your average bejeweled or travia clone
I understand. Well by all means good luck for Blizzard, because this beast is coming out soon.
And its first Mobile game I gladly play while travelling and killing time. And its 100% free.
ew path of exile. looks horrible and plays horrible. dunno how something can be worse than diablo 3 in that genre
Path Of Exile 2 will be better than D4 dude… D4 has 7 buttons, static and bland gear and pretty graphics. If your fullfilment is fancy graphics by all means stick with D4 with the rest of the mindless gray SJW mass. 
That’s literally DH in D3 using the Marauder set…
I wish they could perma close this joke department and provide more devs into the actual game department which comes for PC instead .
Kind of an arbitrary opinion since none of us know how Blizzard divides its resources or manages production across various projects at different levels of completion.
I mean, it’s not like any of us will ever feel the effects of the great company-wide flu virus that struck Blizzard in the year 1998 and reduced the workforce by 20% for several months.
….I totally made that up, but you get the point.
We just get the game when it’s finished. Which in Blizzard’s case is whenever it’s ready. And no one ever knows when that is. 
Yeah, but since Activision Blizzard announced in the wake of their “restructuring” that they were increasing the actual game development positions by 25%(?), the reality is probably that they just hire those extra people they need. Their recruitment page also kind of seems to indicate that.
I think the underlying point is that Blizzard are just trying to make a lot more games right now. If they’re taking any developers away from something, then it’s existing and declining games like Heroes of the Storm, StarCraft II, and Diablo III. But we know that already.
They’re not taking developers from WoW or Overwatch or Hearthstone, which are all games that maintain ongoing game productions.
And they’re not taking anything from Diablo IV or Overwatch 2 either. That goes without saying.
I’m not sure what the fear here is.
Path of exile is a great game on pc.
I seriously doubt I will play the mobile one though.I hate touch screen controls.
I get you might like PoE, I love it too but I don’t get the need to trash talk Diablo 3 / Diablo 4.
You talk that D4 has 7 buttons… PoE is literally 1 button at end game gameplay…
Admittedly hope a mobile dev team with a bigger mobile fan base steps on them for trying to expand into the mobile market, just so we can maybe see more ÂŁÂŁÂŁÂŁ being put into working on PC games instead.
But isn’t it the other way around? Isn’t it Blizzard who are trying to step on the other mobile game developers who already have filled the app store with their games?
I mean, once again, it’s Blizzard who are late to the party.
Nintendo, Ubisoft, EA, Microsoft, Sega, Namco, Sony, Konami, Square Enix, Bethesda, and so on, and so on.
They all have mobile games. Lots of them. They’re all expanding into that market, and many of them have done so for years now. And why wouldn’t they? The market is huge. Half-decent game? 10 million+ downloads! 
And if there are already plenty of chinese rip offs being made of your game, you might as well release an official game.
Yep.
And to be honest, I would love if the app store had more high-quality games that have the same gameplay depth and production value as PC or Console gaming.
I more than welcome any PC or Console game developer who’s willing to make a proper mobile game and raise the standard a bit.
Because when good mobile games come out, they are actually really good, and they just sweep the cheap, low-quality games off the radar.
Stardew Valley was released for mobile a few months ago, and it’s friggin’ amazing. It’s as solid a game on PC as on mobile. And the success the game enjoys on mobile is well-deserved.
I don’t see why people wouldn’t want more good games for gamers on whatever platforms gamers play on.
Certainly wouldn’t mind me some more Blizzard games on the loo…I mean go, on the go. Blizzard games on the go. 
Good games are always welcome no matter the platform, but from what i see mobile games in general are just cheap attempts at cash grabbing. They are the same thing over and over again, littered with microtransactions and most of the time the exact same thing as free flash games that you used to find on newgrounds. ( i would argue 90% of indie games are exactly like this as well).
But some games like the mobile Pubg look okay to play. Then again i’m not the best to judge this since i don’t even own a smartphone. stuff likes games are things that can wait until you are comfortable at home.

Not made by Blizzard but a Chinese developer for Blizzard (and most likely the Chinese market.)
Source.
Says more about you really.
A low bar to get into mobile developing then.
Yeah the business strategies lean a lot toward microtransactions and advertisements in particular.
I think part of the reason is that a smartphone is just an easy device to make a payment with, so those microtransactions are a lot easier to sell on a smartphone than on a console.
The advertisements are also…intriguing. It falls a bit under the same approach as internet browser games where you also have advertisements, but also in a more active approach where you get some currency or an extra life or something if you watch a 30 second advertisement. Often you pay with your time when it comes to mobile games, I think.
But it’s all changing super fast and there’s so many new game and business designs being tried out. There’s so much innovation in the mobile market, so who knows what it looks like next year.
And of course you still have the pure-game-just-pay-once-and-you-get-a-premium-product-no-bs, which for the most part are sorted into their own categories. So it’s not like the gems drown in the sea of microtransactions.
If I should harbor a guess, I’d wager Blizzard wants to land their games in the area of free-to-play, but you can spend a lot of money, but the game’s excellent to play even if you never spend any at all. Like Hearthstone.
LOL
Good one really.
Link some of your games?
I mean, if you did what you claimed and didn’t suck at it, you’d be humping supermodels on a yacht. The fact that you’re trolling the interwebz in the early hours of the morning suggests that perhaps your games were as bad as your digs at Blizz?
