"Why a third-party Chinese developer? Why is this reused code from another game? Why is this Diablo III Lite?"ĭiablo Immortal may very well have been made from the ground up. "I went through a number of questions that I thought I might ask while I was standing in line and this was ultimately what I came up with," he said. What spurred him to ask the magic question?

Our hour-long conversation revealed a man who is deeply passionate about Blizzard games and ARPGs in general.
I took a shot at asking Dontinquire if he would be interested in having a chat and he agreed. It certainly didn't help that there was neither hide nor hare of the other Diablo projects the company said they were working on. Indeed, the reveal of Diablo Immortal was one of the top five posts on /r/all for some time after its announcement and the reception was less than kind to say the least. The response on the /r/Diablo subreddit and the game's official forums was icier than a Cold Sorc. What's more, Blizzard is alleged to have swapped out the Cinematic Trailer link in the Blizzard launcher for an Unlisted one that is at a 381/37K like/dislike ratio. The Cinematic Trailer is currently at 5.8K/169K and the Gameplay Trailer is sitting at 3.7K/78K. The like-to-dislike ratios on its trailers are pretty bad on YouTube.
Going by the numbers, it isn't looking good.
