But gamers need to shut up and realize that they have all the power here. When a developer puts out a shit game for quick cash, just don’t buy or play it.
When it comes to mobile gaming, no they do not have the power. There are far more people owning a mobile phone than a pc or a console of choice. Take China for example. The money comes from these mobile apps through tons of micro transactions, etc. While I don't fault a company wanting a slice of that pie, they can't have it both ways and claim they are true to the franchise, giving what loyal fans have been waiting for since Diablo 2 really. I'd say to Blizzard, take that big money, but take the boos equally.
EA did the same with Red Alert a while ago, with equal response. It is clearly not what the gamers want. But mobile users outnumber these gamers by a ton, so it is thanks and farewell. That is what these companies are basically are saying.
I think it is good that they are called out on their greed. Microtransactions, lootboxes, season passes, that is what I am tired of. And I am glad peopel are voicing that same sentiment. Games are slowly going down the drain while they are morphing into meaningless oversimplified versions of their formers self. The kind of shit you play when taking a shit staring on a tiny screen.
