![]() Their mistake was making it a big announcement to a community that's yearning for a "real" big announcement. ![]() Instead they make that poor bastard Wyatt go out there to hype it up as if it's the next big thing for Diablo.īlizzard could have decided to make immortal without it causing as much reputational damage as it has. Just think how easy it would be to say "We're working on multiple Diablo projects and while we know that you guys really want that next big diablo game, but while we work on that other unnamed project we're announcing this Diablo on mobile game in the meantime". If they knew just how much the west would hate this announcement (which should have been OBVIOUS), then they would have announced it at a convention in Asia or as a footnote in the opening ceremony, not front and center stage (giving diablo the main stage and teasing an announcement ahead of time). The more you shun hardcore gamers of your franchise, the more relatively impressive your next *big* title likely has to be, or else people have moved to your competitors in the meantime anyway.ĭon't forget - they showed it front and center main stage on their primary convention where the majority of attendants will be English speaking from the western market. But that's riskier than I've known this company for. It could even be that there's a D4 in the works and this announcement is kind of like burning political capital only to regain it and more. Again this doesn't usually end a company in itself, but I would term this situation as 'problematic'. I don't think this is a giant shitstorm to wreck the company but I do think it's the first true mark against Blizzard's overall reputation. ![]() It'll most likely do more than fine, especially overseas.īut I think Blizzard should be worried now about brand reputation, to a major extent for Diablo but an at least minor extent already for Blizzard's other titles. ![]() ![]() I'm not worried about DI success or level of profit.
