10 EXACT Moments Video Games Lost The Plot
5. "Do You Guys Not Have Phones?" - Diablo Immortal
With over 20 million copies worth of sales stretching back to 1997, the Diablo series has established itself as one of the most important RPGs in the industry. It also houses an extremely passionate community, who spend their time and money into not only playing through the series, but also invest in the books, magazines and other bits of lore connected to the franchise's world.
In summary, Diablo has a well-established formula for what makes the series so special to so many fans around the world, and going out of your way to mess with it is going to end up making you look rather silly.
Rumours had been swirling around the Diablo community for a number of months that developers Blizzard were going to be unveiling a major announcement at Blizzcon 2018, which most assumed would be "Diablo 4 confirmed". Instead, the conference has become infamous for the announcement of Diablo Immortal, the franchise's first foray into the mobile world.
The announcement and subsequent reveal there were no plans in the work for anything on PC came as a bitter blow to both the audience in attendance, as well as those in Twitch chat watching the event live, and the developer's meme-worthy 'do you guys not have phones?' response left many fans wondering what direction their beloved franchise was going down.
