And it's going to make a ton of money, even if it does include sketchy monetization practices and grind-heavy gameplay.

Diablo Immortal, from a business and growth perspective, is a no brainer and that's why Blizzard has even more mobile games on the way. Take an established brand or IP, convert it to an optimized free-to-play mobile experience, and you can reach out to the most-popular platforms in the world (Android and iOS). Mobile games make money, and can be mega profitable versus their relatively inexpensive development costs. Here are our thoughts on BlizzCon 2018's Diablo Immortal reveal. The trailers for Diablo Immortal are setting records for the amount of dislikes they're getting, comments are disappearing, and Reddit has been flooded with anti-Blizzard memes and game journalists debate whether some fans are too entitled or not.
