2. “ don’t you guys have phones?” Yes and the reason I don’t use it as a gaming device is because to actually get anywhere in a mobile game you have to spend money that could buy you a brand new AAA every week not to mention bland gameplay and repetition. That’s why I don’t use my phone to play games asshole.

3. Yongyea yongyao

4. Every time I click on a video that says "Such n such slams such n such" I always think it will be in the UFC type of way… 👊

5. I just saw Mark Kern's last name and got shocked. A first time seeing someone with my shared last name

6. Blizzard: "Do you guys not have smartphones?"
   Me: Well I don't, but even if I did I still wouldn't buy your shit game ya morons.

7. I hadn't heard about this controversy. Now that I read this I am gobsmacked by Activision's poor public relations. You have a market that is willing to spend thousands of dollars to specifically customize machines just so that they can play your game. This is like a classic car market. You've become a legend in the industry, a reputation crafted over many, many years. And they ask, "don't you have a phone?" Wow. People aren't ever going to forget that. Next year at Blizzcon there will be people mocking Activision when they announce a PC product with, "Does that come out on mobile?" Every. Single. Time. Then they double down on that and say that their criticism is due to toxic masculinity? Wow. I used to buy a lot of Blizzard products. I was a huge fan of Warcraft 2 and Diablo 2. I still have a character that I want to finish in Hell on Diablo 2. I don't own a phone. I like playing D2 on my box, single player. HC Diablo 2 untwinked. It's a great game. I didn't buy Diablo 3 because they insisted that I log in to play single player. I thought that was a tone deaf move. Now, insinuating that criticism of a mobile platform is due to misogyny? Good luck Blizzard. Plenty of games out there to play that aren't published by you.

8. Blizzard.. please come back to your old d2 ways…

9. Nailed It! I agree.

10. That is what you get when you fire all the real gamers developers, directors and producers — and hire a bunch of money sharks. Well done, Blizzard.

11. WE must stop playing the games of these developers.

12. Looks like all the former blizzard employees thumbed this down

13. Ignorance.Nokia is still there and doing fine.Phones were just a fraction of their production and focus.

14. To anyone that actually goes and spends money on this shit: fk you

15. its gamers faults that gaming is in the state it is. who is STILL the person that pays for those micro transactions? the gamers

16. This is why people pay attention to you, yong, and not those idiots on twitter. You truly know what you're talking about — keep making great, informative videos.

17. I hope their success is so gigantic with that and as result the greed will leave real Gaming. Lol mobile gaming…

18. I don’t know anything about Diablo, but I am triggered and feel bad for the fans

19. What has gender to do with a crappy mobile game? The guy who posted that must be nominated for the BBF award; big bias feminazi (yeah i made that up for showing just how stupid that post is)

20. …well I can always rely on Nintendo for a good time (for now).

21. I say kill all of them greedy buttholes .I say Good bye EA Activision Blizzard and epic games and ninja team and that peace of crap Soleil

22. I miss the developers from ps2 games they used to put heart and soul on video games

23. Bethesda and blizzard are fucking up games now and fortnite is the most popular game around. I think its time to quit gaming. Fucking sad. Well maybe after Elder Scrolls 6…. LOL

24. Love your content but… its not "No kia" it´s "NokIA" 😂

25. My phone wont run this piece of shit game, my phone is old….but my PC, Xbox, ps4 and my fucking nintendo will…..Gamers dont game on fucking phones!!!!!

28. somehow they think that a mobile diablo game is a good idea?? there has been tons of mobile games on smartphones already so why wud diablo immortal any different?

29. Bobby Kotick is Diablo in disguise

30. If only they announced Diablo 4…….

31. 2019 the year that blizzard sunk and died.

32. mobile rpg games existed ever since ppl started having smartphones. releasing this lame mobile version of the best rpg game existed is just lame…releasing this in 2019 is like erh late by 200 years.

33. i have a nokia 3310

34. "Soulless" is absolutely right. A friend gifted me a copy of Battelfront 2 recently and, full disclaimer, I'm a pretty big StarWars fan. But from the main menu (to seeing that EA snuck its way into the game's friggin' title …) to the singleplayer campaign and multiplayer modes… It all felt completely dead. Corporate.There was no passion in it at all. The best way I can explain it is that playing it made me feel like I should be thankful that they created this "great product", not something that is trying to grab me and entertain me with compelling gameplay or otherwise. So yes: It felt completely soulless.

35. Game companies in general are not what they used to be it's all about money now. Mobile is more money and then they wanna attack gamer's their clients and act like that is not the case xD!!!!! I laughed so hard. Hopefully consumers start waking up and think twice about spending money on these big companies who often screw us

36. If Blizzard continues to develop PC games that's going to kill them, PC games are no longer competitive since 2016. If you guys punish Blizzard by taking a step forward in the actual market reality you'll have to say goodbye to this game developer. Something to mention is as good was D2 as much the D2 team failed to do anything else. PC gamers lost their connection with reality and Blizzard is to blame!?!?!?!  Wake up guys

37. They dobt make games for people anymore.they make games for china :v

38. It is happening… games are made by guys who dont play games anymore, they wont even try their own games or they wouldnt release half the shit they release each year…

39. Quick quezztion, why is the top donor called Cipher?

40. good god twitter is horrible — your montage SS of really put all of this into perspective… i can imagine it's way worse now

41. Diablo needs a Reboot… Right after Diablo 2 ofc

42. Activision is a terrible company they don't care about what we want

43. who would've seen this?

44. im done with new games my new fun is getting more money, nobody makes good games anymore, d2 still the best wtf

45. Cool video only give 5 bucks to be one of the cool kids? Wow I thought you were against pay to win. -ENF

46. Actupvision WANT fans to blame Blizzard, they see them as dead weight and an obstacle on their fast track to the bank.
    Their wannabe status never made the kind of money that they really wanted. They were never TRULY legendary, and will never have any status with gamers but don't really care. They have their cash cow as is evident from all the wow updates while ignoring everything else. Blizzard is not in charge of anything obviously. They must have signed away too many rights all those years ago when they were younger . . . ActupVision is a vampire company. Blizzard needs to kick AV to the curb and talk about what's really going on

47. he asked if it was an april fools joke because they actually made that joke a couple of years before and promised they wouldn't do that to us

48. FLASH BACK TO THE FUTURE: Jan/31/2020.

    Aaaaaaaand WC3 Reforged sucks, and Blizzcon 2018 was an epic failure. The End.

49. I’m just thinking “don’t play it”. But I would also be pretty mad if I took time out of my schedule to see a pc based diablo only to see a crappy mobile
