Kripparian has often been a vocal critic of Hearthstone, the Blizzard game he plays the most. On YouTube, even popular Blizzard content maker Octavian “Kripparrian” Morosan is being called a shill and receiving mostly downvotes on a video where he says people should give Diablo: Immortal a chance.
The anger surrounding Diablo: Immortal is reaching high levels. It’s a very good partnership, where we’re all in it together. It feels like one team, even though we’re not physically together all the time. From both sides, we can come up with ideas and work on implementation. There’s no clear divide - you do this we do that. When I asked what each company was working on for the game, Hsu responded: It’s easy to see why a mobile Diablo game developed by third-party studio NetEase isn’t quite what fans of the series were hoping for – though asking rude questions during a live panel is almost certainly a less constructive way to express that disappointment than disliking a video or leaving negative feedback online.One popular refrain you see in these angry threads is that Blizzard has farmed the game out to NetEase.
Many people assumed the teases were for an inevitable Diablo 4 announcement, but Blizzard tried to temper that expectation a couple weeks ago. Blizzard stated it has “multiple Diablo projects in the works” back in August, and that hype was built up further when people saw that Diablo got the prime panel spot directly after BlizzCon’s opening ceremony. This negative response is likely fueled by long-standing rumors and expectations around new Diablo games on the way.
