https://bgr.com/2018/11/22/blizzard-pokemon-go-warcraft-game-rumor/I understand many people on this forum are PC gamer and are upset on Blizzard cross over to mobile gaming. But I think mobile is a big market. It is silly Blizzard dont' consider mobile gaming to increase profit.
Anyway, I put up a link to anyone who is interested.

So, Diablo: Whatever was a miss but this one can be truly great. Blizzard is known for refining good ideas to quality games and they won't let you down on this, trust me.
Well played, Blizzard!
Maybe this is innovation on Blizzard's part, Maybe I'm to old and out of touch to see the future of gaming with Millennial's and generations Z is mobile, Then in that case, Blizzard is basing the future on being cool and innovative and not on making money. Be ahead of the curve and offer a product with staying power the money will come.

So this idea that their core fanbase wouldn't be upset at their becoming that is what's silly. It reeks of a very narrow perspective, one apparently shared by some of the folks at Blizzard.
Let's stop blaming customers for wanting more of that thing they enjoyed that made Blizzard, how about that?
Overall, blizzard is making the right decision for themselves. Mobile is the way to go.

You can see my sci-fi/WW2 book recommendations.
Though I didn't read anything of the op so no idea if it is a catch them all type of game or whatever.
Reputations are lost a lot quicker than they're made.

They had better be very careful not to cross any copyright laws since the Pokemon franchise is a very big franchise.
"good as your last game".IDK about that,weather i like Wow or not "i don't"i still admit it was at least a game that took some EFFORT and is rather robust,so yeah it has some value.
However,EVERY other game in their portfolio is CHEAP Indie-ware.Yes even Starcraft,whom i know a lot of old school people love and still love,right Artosis?
This idea is also another CHEAP idea,like the amount of time and effort that will go into something like this is VERY small.This idea will be on the market within a year,count on it.
This after reading that Tim Anderson thread and how he talks about a typically good mmorpg takes 6-8 years and his will be no different.Tim is not trying to RAID on a trendy gimmick,the way Blizzard introduced the Pandarin same time the movie was out.No Tim unlike Blizzard is building a game he has PASSION<keyword to build,he loves the original board DnD game and wants to bring it to digital.
NO,instead Blizzard is aiming at a MARKETPLACE and doing it with CHEAPLY built games.IMO Blizzard is like that assembly line manufacturer trying to undermine the quality craftsmen.I don't hate Blizzard,i understand business and why they do what they do,but i am a CUSTOMER,i look to support passionate game designs,not assembly line junk.
Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.

Also the sheer amount of money WoW has made Blizzard should cover any development costs for 100s of years. The thing is they are chasing after the cheap easy money. Its pure and simple greed; there is never enough profit. Blizzard created the market of sticking to tested and true development which means anything like their old blizzard north is never coming back. Them scrapping Titan(which by all accounts of what I heard was a unique game) signified them doing anything they can just for profit even if spiting your fanbase.
That being said I'd rather play this than immortal.

Also blizzard DOES NOT have to go into mobile to survive as a company; this is just the suits wanting a piece of the pie they shouldn't be aiming for. Despite all their recent game flaws they all pull a considerable profit(diablo 3 raked in ALOT and they still did the skyrim method of oversaturation for profit's sake).

So the f#$% what they turn a profit? That sh!# doesn't last and isn't sustainable and it burns the sustainable income.
Suuuuure industry insiders, if Metallica decided to do a pop record with the Gangnam style guy their fans have 0 latitude to be shocked and appalled. FOH.
Maybe if Trino did a mobile pokemon go version of Rift... jobs? Too soon?
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
