If you act like a whiny bitch, you get called a whiny bitch. It's not complicated.
Here's why you, and everyone like you, are an idiot. Blizzard puts on these conventions because they're great PR. All that fan aticism is good for the bottom line. Otherwise they wouldn't bother with them. "Look at our fans! We've got such great fans! So much devotion! So much positive energy! Spread the word!"
But then, when those exact same fans express a
dislike for something instead of the usual torrent of likelikelikekekeke, suddenly they're whiny entitled bitchy manchildren. This view is the height of smug hypocrisy. Either encourage both positive and negative feedback from fans, or don't encourage any of it. Companies don't get to pick and choose as pleases them. THAT is being whiny and entitled.

I think you're confusing me with someone working for Blizzard. Blizz's PR meltdown is their own. Could it have been handled better? Yes, obviously. The fans' reactions and what they spew onto the intertubes is also their own - if you don't like something, be displeased, but barfing your ire all over reddit and Twitter is not going to win you sympathy points. Easy to understand now?

I'm with Zylon. Your being a bit whiny about it. You don't just get to have only good praise be welcome and accepted. Both, or none.

I won't lie, while I really don't care if you're not the greatest at reading comprehension, it's interesting that ZB's going that route too. Maybe my first post was too subtle.

I find the level of overreaction hilarious. Sure, be disappointed or irritated, but being a bunch of whiny shits hyperventilating over it shows exactly how much growing up everyone involved has yet to do.

Sulphur, to paraphrase The Big Lebowski:
They're just nihilists. Nothing to worry about.

Not really, unless you take into account Whimsyshire, which was Blizzard thumbing their noses at the interweb drama queens.
Provide the receipts to back up your claim. Eg 2008 screenshots vs. 2012 finished game screenshots. Non-parody examples, of course.
Anyway if the Diablo Immortal backlash has taught us one thing, it's that gaming journalists are massive hypocrites. Every time they complain about the likes of depiction and/or treatment of fictional characters; the range of cosmetic diversity of fictional characters; when a developer chooses to be apolitical and/or bipartisan in the presentation of IRL political talking points; etc we can turn their own strawman arguments designed to shut down critical discussion back on them. You're an entitled adult child who throws their toys when you don't get what you want. Not every game is made for you. Don't like it? Don't buy it.

And if you complain about the direction of a series then your an "entitled adult child", but if your singing their praise then your a true fan.
Stupid age we live in nowadays.
See if they had 2 games simultaneously showing, 1 a major divergence (ala Diablo Immortal) and 1 which sticks to the formula (eg Diablo 4), then it'd be all good. But all we got to see was Immortal. If you look back to many years ago, The Bureau - XCOM Declassified was shown and people complained a fair bit about it at first since it varied greatly from the traditional XCOM formula. But then Firaxis announced their game in the franchise which was very much sticking to the formula, which made The Bureau fine, since you had choices (plus Xenonauts was announced around the same time if I remember right).

Gah, I really don't have to justify myself to an argumentative edgelord who thinks contradicting everything and being snide is social interaction.
I'm sure this is yet another petty forum attempt to one-up someone rather than actually have an interesting conversation, so I tell you what; as you're sure you're right, why don't you pull out your trump card and provide the screenshots?
Me, I may just go play some Diablo 3 and have fun with it.

The burden of proof lies on the one making the claim. Your ad hominem doesn't count as receipts, sorry sunshine.
