Imagine if things were slightly different and at this point Diablo 4 had come out a year ago and was on the cusp of getting its first big expansion.

It's just weird how easy it would have been for blizzard to remain relevant with even the most basic of steps, but its almost like they've been trying to sabotage themselves. And lets not even consider the possibility of a new IP. HoTS was abandoned long ago with no new heroes in years. WoW is slowly dying with not even an hint that a warcraft 4 might be under consideration to revitalize the franchise. Diablo 4 is probably years away and almost no detail are known about it and 3 is a decade old. Starcraft 2 is now older than starcraft 1 was when it released. But the problem is that this is their first new game since fucking Overwatch 6 years ago.

I think if they were still making game on a semi regular basis (say one new game every 2-3 year) immortal being a mobile cash grab wouldn't be that big of a deal. 99% of the content is so easy anyone can clear it (and you can lower the difficulty at any time), the only exception is a very boring arena with some pretty tough fight at the end that are easy enough to clear but getting the best score (for some very minor reward) is pretty tough for free player (playing since last September without spending a cent and I can almost clear it at the highest score).Īnyway, as far as blizzard goes. Genshin impact is also printing money like crazy, but as far as pay to win mechanic it has almost none of those. Also isn't immortal actually made by some Chinese studio?

The communist party is going out of its way to kneecap the industry. Hummm I don't know how much China will dominate the market.
