But I wont pay a dime for this.Comment by Itacolomii wish i had a phone so i could play thisComment by Violet915I love how they continued to push this. A shame, all that effort could have gone into giving us Diablo IV this year or much sooner. What a hunk of crap, I refuse to play this even if it's free. And charging for it? I don't even want to imagine how awful and clunky that must feel on an android.

Diablo Immortal - Don't you guys have £400 iPads?

It's been nearly two years since announcement, and this game is only in Alpha. Imagine a mobile game taking as long to develop as a proper PC title. No wonder the PC titles come out looking like $%^&, needing hordes of fixes.Comment by seraphis11Finally created a wowhead account today just to post on this article.
Could you actually review the game on a phone or mobile device a NORMAL person carries with them everyday?

I don't see myself pulling out my iPad to play a game on my 10 minute bus ride everyday as I'm sure is the case with a majority of people.Comment by RichardMNixonI regret so much that my tablet is a Google Pixel Slate. Chrome OS devices are terrible at Android emulation for gaming and it would explode if I tried to play.Comment by silentj0yI love how they continued to push this.

Now do a review on a device that more than 0.0001% of the population has so we can see how this runs in the wild on the average Joe’s device and not on a powerhouse machine. Thanks :-)Comment by MORFOS1910Is a middle finger to people like me that only get a cellphone for basic needs instead of fancy ones to play games... Blizzard is for PC gamers, their core audience is PC gamers or console gamers... so no

Thanks :-)Comment by AuragutWowhead, you really need to start locking these comment sections. Hardly anyone who says something actually reads the articles, and is just trolling. I enjoy these articles and wish the comments would be actual thoughts rather than just more circlejerking. It's not going to change however, and you might as well just stop allowing* comments on Immortal posts altogether.

I'm actually really excited to try Diablo Immortal, it looks like a ton of fun.Comment by Kimera666RemovedComment by TharidWowhead, you really need to start locking these comment sections.

It'll keep me busy when im on the road or at a friend's house when im not at home. It looks great and it'll be a nice way to play diablo on the run, and waiting for D4. Thanks for the awesome and fair review!

To all the DI haters, your loss. Your close-mindedness will continue to feed your misery. DI is coming whether you like it or not. Grow up and get a clue. Play it or don't. No one cares.. and no reason to complain about something you won't even give a chance. D4 is on the way.
