I know that this is a long time coming, but I have to wonder if "out of season April Fools joke" may have been the biggest hit to their credibility.
What was that?
Diablo Immortal is a mobile game made by Blizzard, which had for many many years been known almost exclusively for PC games, most predominately Warcraft, WoW, Starcraft, and Diablo.
The announcement (2018) was expected to be Diablo 4, as 3 had come and gone, as well as an expansion, so when a mobile game was announced, the audience was confused. A very based man got in line to ask the question "is this an out of season April Fool's joke?" to which Blizzard said no, and an unfortunate Asian employee stuck his foot in his mouth and asked "don't you guys have phones?" This was received poorly.
It was the next year's BlizzCon (2019) that D4 was announced, but it wouldn't come out until June 2023 and boy was it trash. They had a demo video of two fat women on camera shitting their way through a dungeon like complete amateurs and it left Diablo fans wondering wtf happened to their game.
The announcement of Diablo infinite rather than a proper Diablo game, which had by far the best question asked of them of all time
*Immortal
And this was done AT the Blizzcon presentation, meaning the entire gaming community could see it happen.
Oh that. Do guys STILL not have phones? :)
that man single-handedly killed Blizzard, what a chad.
Oh, we wish he did. It's ironic, I'm pretty sure I recall hearing the guy was a Blizzard shill streamer.
