![]() TLDW; Blizzard made roughly 1.6 billion last year. Of that, around 1.2 of it was microtransactions, most of that was Call of Duty. Blizzard wants to bring all of their franchises to mobile now (starcraft, warcraft, etc.)

![]() Are we talking about bringing StarCraft 2 to ipad? Or creating some craptastic pay-to-win mobile game in the StarCraft universe? Cause those be 2 different things. |

![]() CoD isn’t pay to win its pay to look nice so Starcraft will be similar. They won’t abandon a strategy that makes them so much money. I’m waiting for how they will monetize Diablo Immortal it’s the only mobile game I want. Contrary to all those crying babies out there I’m looking forward to it. I’m not surprised by mobile making the most money. It’s a lot easier to have kids spend their parents money in 5-10 blocks rather than 60 dollar chunks for games. Not only that every kid pretty much plays games on their phones and they never let go of them. Last edited by logical : Nov 9, 2020 at 11:35 AM. |

![]() Yea.. I never though mobile would make so much money years ago. But holy crap, mobile is where the money is for the last few years. I think mobile just reach more people, which mean more money coming into gaming mtx. Billions of people not wanting/needing a console/pc can game on a phone (everyone has a phone) ... BOOM! Money in the bank. And like logical says , 2-5 USD is a lot easier to swallow than 60+ USD for a game, so doesn't feel like spending that much money... |

![]() Name a mobile game that would rival say...a pc game in complexity, features, and options. We won't go with graphics because, while some mobile games look pretty good, they can't come close to current gen PC/Consoles. I'm genuinely curious, because I've been looking all over for good mobile games that aren't pay to win. There is SOOO much potential in mobile games but they are being held back because of micro-transaction hell.

![]() Just want to state that what you play on your phone are games but not "gaming". Playing chess isn't gaming. Playing some craptacular move your finger around the phone base defense game isn't real gaming. It's just some game designed to kill time. They need to stop comparing phone games to real gaming. Completely different.

![]() Of course, this is what the point of the thread was for...Blizzard is going heavy into mobile, and I can't blame them because that is where the money is. It doesn't mean I will support it in any way though.

![]() There are some great mobile games. Battle Chasers nightwar is fantastic, and zero micro-trannys. Mobile games that have no micros or ads are fine, but they are few and far between so...yeah, I just don't like the majority of them. Nothing kills my boner more than an ad popping up in the middle of my play.

![]() A smattering of information and videos came out a couple of weeks ago: Their stance on f2p and how micro-transactions will work. https://news.blizzard.com/en-us/diab...ach-and-values Long story short:

![]() Is their anything about potential offline play? I'm looking forward to playing this on my iPad Pro regardless, but it would be sick if I could play offline while I'm flying. |

![]() Yeah they are going heavy on the social aspect, way more than D3. It's been one of my most anticipated games TBH. Ever since I played D3 on the switch I knew immortal could work in bite sizes on the go. |
