If I don't eat meat, you could make the tastiest burger in the universe, and it would not help me one bit and if to do that you take cooks away from the vegetarian options, you're actually actively hurting me in the process, too. DI could be the god of mobile games for all the hardcore fans care, it still won't make mobile their platform of choice. that a) we ONLY got a mobile game announcement and nothing else and b) that they are actively shifting "some of their best developers" to work on mobile, thereby directly affecting the quality of future PC titles in favor of mobile. (Numbers for illustrative purposes only, of course).Īlso, as I have said in other places: whether or not DI turns out to be a good game or not isn't actually all that relevant for what the core problems were about the announcement i.e. And that goes beyond whether or not they were technically correct that "those who played it loved it", because if only 10 out of 1,000 people bother to play it that is also "those who played it loved it" if 8 of those people like it - but it's neither statistically relevant, nor representative of the 990 people who flat-out refused to even play it because they were outraged at how they were treated. And just the same way, finding empty demo areas at a sold-out con at basically any time is not an indicator for a positive reception, at least not the way they are portraying it. Their concession to what has been the single worst reaction to a Blizzard product in history has been turned into "fan reactions were muted" - they weren't, they were very loud and very clear. Talking about extremes is disingenuous at the best of times, but so is the positive spin mastery Blizzard is trotting out. And just like it isn't "literally NOBODY likes this", it's also unlikely to be "crowds booed, but people who played absolutely loved it", which is the official Blizzard narrative. And as you can see from the background, these pictures weren't taken outside of regular hours or whatever either. But these are EMPTY, not just "less crowded".
