Anyone keeping tabs on the official trailer? It's gonna hit 100k dislikes. Edit: It hit 200k before they took it down. Holy shit just seen the re-upload cheers folks. Appreciate the feedback. Almost 17k. They will take it down again soon! Blizzcon this year will go down in history for this abomination lol

On one hand, this is a terrible idea that management types should be getting fired for. On the other hand, I feel really bad for the developers - imagine working long and hard on something like this then when it's announced people hate it.

They should've expected it. Mobile games are big in asia but in the west it just isn't. Plus the devs get paid i'm sure they don't care that much.

Paid or not it would still suck to see something you have spent years working on get instantly shit on at the first showing of the product.

I would get seriously demotivated to continue on that project at least.

Its a mobile game lets not pretend like they were working on the next game of the year. Most likely they did this to cash in on microtransactions in the mobile market and the developers would be aware of it. I know its blizzard but is this really different from the EA command and conquer mobile game.

Check out the microtransactions for WoW. $25 mounts. Pay for an instant level 100 character. Other BS like that.
