One man was a hero today.

[Zoldor]

He was escorted out for asking that

Is there proof of this anywhere? I figured they just removed him from the mic or the hall or something. To kick him totally out seems a tad overkill for what is essentially just a gag to take the piss. But I guess gotta enforce those, these questions are screened thing.

When you get to the point you no longer need to play a game to know if its good you have lost the point of being a gamer.

I found the Blizzard Dev, community didn’t want mobile pruned diablo 3, Diablo 4 announcements or at least Diablo 1/2 remaster. Blizzard should be embarrassed about the display today.

[Priestiality]

I remember when gamers waited for a demo before they decided if a game had a chance of success, these days it is all about the meme moments while ignoring the games.

Name a mobile game that isn't garbage and full of microtransactions.

[Chromu]

This mobile version will be the new auction house from D3. A lot of microtransactions with dull gameplay duo platform limitation.

[nymphetsss]

Also havent like a zillion mobile games beat them to this? I see ads for them all the time. I have trouble believing anyone was asking for this, I also have trouble believing anyone wanted a diablo port for the switch ( i totally want to play 80$ for a 5-6? year old game )

Duh, do you need to taste every meal to decide if you want to eat it or not?
I know you want to defend Blizzard, but this is a case of zero tolerance.

Maybe just maaaybe if we try to pressure their upper management / stakeholders somehow.. But those people don't even know what Blizzard is, their stocks are just numbers for them. What a shame.

Let the fall of Blizzard be a good lesson. "Gaming" is not just a form of entertainment.

[crusadernero]

The whole announcement was savage for the crowd.

yeah.. the crown probably aint the mobile gaming kind of crowd :P

The problem with this idea is the same that plagues the movie industry.
The initial hype suffices+sells suffice to make a successful movie, not creating a good movie itself.

This is why shit like remakes and spinoffs have become to common, people just buy it due the name, not because of the quality, and sadly movie makers have adapted to this.

If you think something is not good, then don't buy, if i buy a book, i'm still giving money to the people that made it, whether i enjoyed it or not is irrelevant from a financial PoV.
This keeps repeating until enough people say "no thanks" and want to see quality before buying it.

Hope he got a refund, or lawsuit incoming.

Nah, he actually broke CoC, that's what Blizz do in return.

And he isn't the first person who's being escorted out of BC after doing something like that. Now he's probably banned from attending BC in person as well.

After that, would he even want to return anyway?

[Asrialol]

I'm actually really looking forward for the game.

Then don't buy the full product but don't try to tell people it is bad or a failure with zero evidence to back up your point. If a demo comes out and it sucks then I'm onboard with calling them out but people not wanting something doesn't mean it is bad.

It's their convention. They ignored the rules, he gets thrown out.
Don't be a dick in someone else's house

[Redroniksre]

The problem is that Blizzcon is not the place to announce a mobile game when there is no full game to back up on. The same thing happened with the Command and Conquer mobile game. People don't mind them, but it is no place to try and make steps with the franchise, it is for side games and nothing more. They should of announced it at Gamescon.

[Kralljin]

Doesn't change the fact that a good chunk of the movie and seemingly gaming industry lives off this principle.

This rule however reflects how Blizzard has changed, because i am rather certain such a ruling was in place originally and only came into being in the last 3-4 years.

Blizzcon was kinda about celebrating Blizzard games, now it has fully transitioned into a 2 day advertisment for Blizzard games where anything out of place / negative needs to be removed.

[MatadorMedia]

Fans: We want a Diablo 4 announcement.
Blizz: Here's some stupid mobile game instead.

Pretty much sums up the PR department at Blizzard these days.

Maybe if they didn't force people to only talk about certain things, they wouldn't be so out of touch with their players.

[Nathasil]

Epic moment. I hoenstly wish in the Warcraft Q&A somebody would stand up just like that and ask the panel at which point in time they realized that BFA was simply not a good idea as an expansion.
