    Yeah I don't think a mobile game is impossible, but I'd be a bit disappointed even as someone who hasn't followed Diablo in years. I'd be like, empathically disappointed.

    Make no mistake, it's not mutually exclusive to D4. That's happening, some day. Just definitely not being shown here.

    That is my guess. Blizzard hasn't entered the mobile market yet and I doubt it ever will.

    Hearthstone's eleventy billion players notwithstanding?

    I completely forgot about hearthstone. The D3 switch version would be superior in every fashion and then some. Unveiling a mobile form would handicap the graphics and the game would be without a mini map ect.

    I just don't see any other blizzard game entering the market except maybe Heroes of the storm.

    Also occurred to me that any old laptop can probably run a sprite-based D2 remaster, much like SC remaster.

    Someone there posted a picture showing what might be PC lights under the table behind a thin curtain. Meaning it could be monitors boxed face-down. So hold the pitchforks for now.

    It's strange to see how low-budget bits of their mocap set up look, considering we're talking Blizzard here. Like that kid looked like he was in a yoga mat in some back office, being filmed with a normal-ass digital camera.

    Good to see that the Blizzcon tradition of the hosts being the most unbelievably tryhard, fake-enthusiasm people they could find continues.

    How much of this is viewable without a ticket?

    From someone who bought a ticket a few years ago, Practically everything that is worth seeing is on the news sites like mmo-champion within 5-10 minutes of it being said live. I only bought one to watch the Wierd Al Concert.

    Free base D2 is pretty cool. I assume you still have to buy Forsaken but this is a good time to hop into the game.

    Don't you need all the dlc to play Forsaken?

    Nope! Warmind and Curse of Osiris are totally optional.

    Yeah, they even did the "bonus for our current players" thing like a game that's going F2P.

    Nah it's the free hit to get you to buy the expansion, same as WoW minus the current expansion always updating to be cheap/free whenever a new one comes out.

    When you said "D2" I was thinking Diablo 2. Then I was getting worried that my stream was lagging and I missed Diablo announcements.

    Then I realized what you were talking about when you said "Forsaken"...then I was sad.

    It was in the Humble Monthly not long ago too. Every time I see a AAA game fast tracked to the Humble Monthly I wonder how badly it's doing.

    This is definitely a play to get people to buy the DLC.

    I don't think so? Metzen left a few years ago and Ben Brode left pretty recently.

    He's still at the company, but he stepped down from the role of president and CEO.

    WoW is a decade-old subscription game and they typically still charge you even a small amount.

    Its making the best of a bad situation, but the situation still isn't good. At least on PC.

    Eh? Playercounts are the highest they've been since launch, with a generally happy playerbase and people excited for what's coming down the pipe.

    He's sure got better hair. I thought he was making Mike a little uncomfortable hugging him on stage though.

    $12.7 Million for Breast Cancer Research Foundation. Pretty rad. I love my Mercy Shirt and it's the 2nd best Mercy skin (first being the Witch).

    And now I'm sad that a pink Valkyrie Mercy skin isn't a thing.

    "New video game content"

    So, not any new games per se then.
