My major issue for Diablo "immortal" is that they hyped it up to be a big thing ever since they announced the various projects. The game isn't remotely any different from D3 in the slightest, sure the story is "different" and there are a few new abilities but otherwise it's a just a D3 "lite" just for Mobile that they are chalking it up as a "new" game. I'm not mad, but rather disappointed. I can understand wanting to reach out to Chinese mobile gaming community, but with nothing else but this being announced it really feels like they truly don't care about the true Diablo fans. I would have been fine if they had mentioned a DLC in the works or the dreadful D4 but they didn't. I just don't know how to feel about Diablo anymore, as a fan it's starting to get hard to defend the developer team and Blizzard on this beloved franchise that was created by Blizzard North.

@Rhondis Did you read Deadset's first impressions on the game? And I agree about the bad hype around that game. All they had to do was to confirm that there was a new PC game coming up and then giving us Diablo Immortal as a side game in the meantime.

      Blizzard Reportedly Reuniting with NetEase to Bring Back WoW in China
      By Staff
      Blizzard games like World of Warcraft, Hearthstone, and Overwatch 2 might soon make a comeback in China, thanks to Blizzard reportedly teaming up again with NetEase.
      The news comes from Core Esports, which suggests Blizzard's game services could be back by the end of March or the beginning of April.
      After 14 years of partnership, Blizzard and NetEase hit a rough patch in 2022, leading to failed negotiations. Consequently, when the licensing agreement concluded on January 23, 2023, Blizzard's game services were suspended across mainland China.
