Hey, at least they are buffing set bonuses next patch. Premium content just keeps flowing in for Diablo 3.

That depends on what else they're doing. Kripparrian, for example. He and Rania work their butts off, not only to produce content, but to do things to build investments, savings, etc. They spent a ridiculous amount of time helping build their own house to save money and the like. Even if Hearthstone loses popularity in the next few years, they've shown they're quite good at saving and making smart investments. They'll be fine even if they drop to half or a quarter of their audience.
This, so much this. I love how ppl think there were choice in builds, either you went for one of two meta build for each class or you went absolute idiot. That was your choice, and real efficient end game mostly came to "hold one button and chuck potions like moron for max efficiency", people wanting and praising that system are either braindead or has no idea what they are talking again.
I sincerely hope so. I don't want to stop supporting Blizzard, they make great games, but if they really "sell out" then... what other choice do I have? =/ Definitely interested to see what happens over the coming weeks and months.

Perhaps, but what about everything they didn't have the right idea about? Like consistent content updates? Look at PoE, sure, maybe the system is a little dated in comparison, but all of the different ways they have been adding intrigue and content to the game easily makes me not worry too much about a potentially dated skill system.
We got D4 /s
Diablo 2.6.4
Why not 2.6.2 ? Blizzard Trolling us?
From their handling of the situation, everything points to them not knowing how people would react to a mobile game being the biggest announcement of Blizzcon.
And it's quite common thing in the industry, look at how EA handled C&C mobile. How Bethesda is handling Fallout 76.. The list just goes on. The people who make the decisions in these major companies just don't know and more important don't care as long as it brings the money.

They literally had no idea that it wouldn't be well received. They thought they would have a resounding success on their hands. The thought process was "NetEase will make this for us, it will cost us almost nothing, and everyone already has phones so Blizzcon will think this is amazing! And we'll make tons of money because this takes almost nothing to develop!" They have NOTHING else in development. The "multiple projects" are: Diablo 3 for Switch. The garbage mobile game. A new season for Diablo 3. And a Netflix series. Honestly at this point I wouldn't be surprised to see Diablo themed cereal announed as a serious project.
