So my own opinion out of the way, what really got me out of my lawn chair and into my desk chair was the weird dissonance between “professionals” and the general public. Still, I entirely understand why long time fans of one of PC gaming’s most prized titles are upset that Diablo is getting the Command and Conquer/Dungeon Keeper/Lineage/Everything You’ve Ever Known and Loved Eventually treatment. I’m also guilty of dumping an embarrassing amount of time and money into Hearthstone, so it’s not like Blizzard hasn’t made a decent mobile game before. Make the game more accessible through mobile, and it’s not like clicking demons and tapping on them is a fundamentally different concept. So when I heard that the game was going mobile, that’s the level of expectation I was coming in with.

I played through, got through to Nightmare mode, and called it a day. I thought Diablo 3 was just fine, but I’m past the point in my life where I can spend even a gerbil’s lifespan clicking on endless waves of increasingly large healthbars. Like most kids my age, I played several dogs lives worth of time playing Diablo 2 with my buddies. Personally, I don’t much give a Baal sized shit if Blizzard decides to take their newest iteration of a decades old stale franchise and put it on my pocket computer.
