Remember Blizzard and diablo immortal, when they got booed during the reveal of the game, and then the devs were like, "does no one have phones?" Some of these CEOs and DEVS are so out of touch with what their customers want because they would rather huff their own farts all day, enjoying the smell of their own brand, instead of admit that they led product development to an area where there wasn't market demand amongst their consumers.
Yeah I never really understood the backlash on that one. I actually would love to play Diablo on my phone. But like a good Diablo.
I think that the crowd's reaction was more about broken expectations. Everyone there was waiting for the Diablo IV announcement but instead they were offered a mobile game.
I get that, but it seems disproportionate. I mean we're still talking about it seven years later.
People booing something they dislike is hardly news. We're still talking about that seven years later because of the dumb and out-of-touch reaction of the Blizzard employee. "Don't you guys have phones"?
The worst part is that diablo immortal makes hundreds of millions a year.
