    Blizzard Entertainment's annual conference, Blizzcon, is underway. They just announced the newest game in the Diablo franchise will be a mobile game developed by a third-party developer in partnership with NetEase.

    People on English reddit are freaking out, but I'm curious about players of Netease mobile games.

    Anyone know how the Diablo mobile game by Netease is being received in China?
    Anyone know how to find a video/trailer of the chinese announcment? (I'm assuming probably not yotube.)

    I wonder how many there are now.
    NFS Edge
    Diablo
    That's the 2 I know now. Doing business in China is lucrative and seems like more publishers are doing it in China.

    Hopefully it aint a canon part of the story, lets think of it as a chinese company stealing the Diablo name for a quick cash grab.

    Diablo was my gateway drug. I am shedding tears of rage over this abomination.

    If they did what Bethesda did when they announced Fallout Shelter then this wouldn't have happened and at the same time I have also played Netease games 2 years ago(I think) and they really do look similar this game and their other games.

    I was at the convention, and it went over pretty much as you can imagine from the response on reddit and youtube. During the dev signings people were trolling the shit out of them - personal favorite was all the people asking for them to sign their phone cases. But hey thats what you get when you have devs hyping up blizzcon as the Diablo blizzcon and give everyone a re-skinned mobile game for one of the most fiercely loved franchises they own.

    and no mention about the leaked netflix animation >.<

    Yeah, the Blizzard that we know and love dearly is dead now when Activision started to combine(I think? Also I just found out 'bout this when I saw the news about this). No wonder some of the employees are leaving and the CEO also resigned from his post and he got replaced by someone who badmouthed him or the company I think?

    Fuck, my English sucks when it's 4 in the morning.

    Well I would say that the shareholders probably had a big say in how this was going to go down.
    Considering that Tencent owns a large amount of shares in Activision Blizzard [Source Link]

    Now considering the Intellectual property involved. "Diablo Immortal" will be owned by ATVI {stock symbol} a subsidiary of the Diablo franchise. But backing the decision on lets say the shareholder meeting, will be Tencent.

    So corporate is just making a game which will provide shareholders more profit.
