![]() We as gamers aren’t privileged to whatever game we want, Half-life 3 is a major example of this. Diablo Immortal looks fine and it’s bound to be a success on mobile. It’s understandable that the fanbase is upset, but to suddenly shame a game that could do well? Let’s be real. I had no trouble finding randoms online to help me as I was lost on my first play through.

The outburst and anger was a huge overreaction in my opinion. Six whole years of waiting only for a release of a game that no one wanted. This backfired majorly, as haters took to social media, shaming the game, even attacking youtubers that were supporting the game.

Yes. Did the fans overreact to this reveal? Yes they ultimately did. ![]() The last official release of the franchise was in 2012, a whole six years of nothing for the community and we get the bomb shell of a mobile game only just last week, spawning outrage and pure toxicity across the gaming community.
