Blizzard Is Working On Mobile Titles For All Of Its IPs

@dr4jen: I would play that! sounds cool.

@technature: I think a lightweight RTS could work fine on a phone. Or maybe it's something different entirely.

Maybe this is how we finally get StarCraft: Ghost! : p

@Kezzy123: I'm guessing most folks don't spend anywhere near "$100s" on their mobile games. I think the draw from Blizzard is that there are waaay more people who play mobile games than play PC or console games, and developing mobile games is cheaper, so even if the vast majority of players barely spend any money on the games, Blizzard can still make mad bank.

@cboye18: Shrinking, maybe, but not dying. There is obviously still a market for more traditional console and PC games, and the industry will continue making them as long as that market is there (Blizzard included). But mobile is bigger, so we're probably going to see some publishers start increasing their focus there, at the expense of console and PC.

@cboye18: @Pyrosa

What Pyrosa said. Traditional gaming is not dying, the market is absolutely there just look at games like God of War, or Red Dead Redemption, or BoTW, or Mario Odysesy. For all intents and purposes traditional games that blew the doors off across the board.

What is happening is traditional gaming is being killed, by large corporations who have decided they can't make enough money out it, and so they don't make the games and tell their consumers that they don't want single player games, or story modes, or linear action games, or playformers; and what they do in fact want is multiplayer micro transaction business models.

**** the corporations if they don't give you what you want, support the indie developers, experience new things and take less mind of AAA graphical gameplay loops. When you open yourself to games that are not cutting edge you find a multitude of Indie developers and even 1st platform titles from Sony and Nintendo that do still provide a classic gaming experience.

And folks, stop buying micro transactions and loot boxes. Stop buying shitty mobile crap. Stop buying CoD and Assasins Creed every single year for more money and less actual original content with pay walls in front of everything.

@cboye18: Support indie games.

@ToadstoolPeach: I mean, it seems like the WoW classic servers, the StarCraft remaster, this WarCraft 3 remake, and the rumored Diablo 4 project are all aimed pretty squarely at the existing fan base.

@ToadstoolPeach: There is no reason mobile can't be utilized for traditional gaming. They have controller and HDMI ports. Blizzard is just jumping on the MT train.

@ToadstoolPeach: For every emperor there are 10,000 indigents. Blizzard is top dog at their forte but the mobile gaming world is a behemoth of trends and trash.

@Brettsky128: I'm against this but kinda down-low a Lost Vikings mobile game sounds fun.

@DeviantCode: I prefer playing my games on a fax, thank yous.

@WARLOCK234: "Literally"?! This is why I'm afraid to ever ask what goes on at Blizzcon.
