I’m not trying to perch myself on a pedestal I was simply stating I do not like the way the new route Blizzard is going on and I will not support it. Yet all you MMO-C bois go straight to the throat like wild dogs.

It another game, not WoW on mobile with loot boxes for 2$. Whatever dude.

Sorry if you're too "elite", but my guild still has 4 mythic boss to kill... wtf are you talking about, I dont want a new raid the moment the "progress guilds" beat them.

Maybe you play wow while watching Twitch, I **** dont care about streamers and actually play the game....

by your logic we need to w8 several years for every scrub guild to finish mythic raid?

Mobile game = puke. I will note support finncaly reterded developers. Sub canceled.

it will be most likely a MP game of sorts to encourage buying stuff out of jealousy - you won't have that with SP games. clash of clans in a warcraft skin?

or even something bigger like a battle royale *shrugs*

If they were ''Financially retarded'', they wouldnt do mobile games at all. It's a huge gain for them, since mobile games are huge - especially in China.

Might be the issue honestly. The Warcraft IP doesn't appeal to general audiences like they want it to, but it appeals to MMO lovers. If they focused less on dumbing down their game and making worthless phone shit, they would probably turn a larger profit than they do appealing to people who will never play it.

A large majorit of mobile games have the wow aestetic ripped off. There is for a large genral appeal.

Whole wow community is so fractioned that appealing to the "MMO lovers" is impossible. Also look at some guys here - "you develop a game for a different platform? - UNSUB!", which they won't do ofc. but still, trying to appeal to such players sounds more like a relationship with abusive and envious partner rather than working with fans.

[MrFawlty]

You are free to see it this way.

But if that is the case, why does Diablo Immortal (or any mobile announcement) still gets shit? Just like @mojusk so aptly put into one gif

Yeah, its almost like most people who play Wow are PC owners.

[Resheph]

So, being a gamer all my life that plays several MMO's as well as some other types of games including quite a few mobile games that I like when taking a break during a walk or when traveling by train, I am looking forward to a Warcraft inspired mobile game. Should be great fun.

[Snowflakesz]

Zoomerkiddies and edgelords gonna reee.

[Doffen]

Nice! Immortal and now this. Just a shame one is at least 1 year and the other 3 years away from launch. How long does it take to make a mobile game!?

Inc Smash Bros game for WoW :>

[Kallisto]

The only reason people flipped shit over Immortal was since people expected a D4 announcement instead.

Which if they spent 5 minutes reading official bliz social media they would have known no D4 announcement was imminent because even before the tickets went on sale Blizzard were crystal clear there was no D4 announcement incoming

[DarkAmbient]

Not interested in a mobile game at all. But is that guy allowed to say what he said?

[Djuntas]

haha, what - Surely he just lost his job now. Never seen such a leak before.

[Absintheminded]

Battle pets I bet

[Arikara]

What, they killed Starcraft and HotS but have no qualms about wasting budget on another mobile fiasco?

[SoLoR1]

You all have phones right?!

[ONCHEhap]

What, they killed Starcraft and HotS but have no qualms about wasting budget on another mobile fiasco?

it's not wasted budget sadly.
The mobile market is by far and large the biggest source of profits in the video game industry.

Mobile gaming in China alone was 60% of all video game profits in the world last time I checked,and it's been in a constant rise

[Angelica Angelus]

It's cringe, I admit. And this is coming from someone who plays multiple mobile gachas.

[Kathranis]

Battle pets I bet

More likely just a spinoff Warcraft game given that he calls it a "Warcraft mobile game" and not a "WoW mobile game."
