I disagree with this assessment, and it ignores the expectations that Blizzard itself has spent decades creating in its fans. It’s pretty clear to us that there is a huge audience around the world that is gonna love this title. “So I actually think that those two items are being conflated. “The way I’ve been kind of looking at the mixed comments is what those folks are really saying is they desperately, passionately want the next big thing,” Allen Adham, executive producer and Blizzard co-founder told Polygon in a previous interview.

It goes without question that Diablo Immortal is now the most disliked video game trailer of 2018, and given that we’re in November, chances are, this won’t be beat anytime soon. The only other videos to beat it out in terms of dislikes are Dilma Resistente with “Daniela Mercury convoca mulheres contra Bolsonaro,” and YouTube Help with the “Getting Started With YouTube Heroes” video. As of press time, the trailer is now the third highest YouTube dislike percentage of all time at 96.3 percent (23,000 likes to 606,000 dislikes computed via Scratch), which puts it in “lofty” company. Well, at the very least, Blizzard can have history on its back for Diablo Immortal’s reveal trailer. Instead of a full-fledged Diablo game, Diablo Immortal is a mobile game, which isn’t really the exact sort of thing that you cap your press conference with.

If you’ve been keeping tabs on gaming news, by now, you most likely have seen the backlash Blizzard Entertainment has gotten when it announced a new Diablo game, Diablo Immortal, at BlizzCon.
