Pat the NES punk took it too far

The amount of disrespect and how far they went out of their way to disparage Diablo gamers is distasteful. I do not understand why he feels the need or even thinks it is ok to treat other people this way.


I believe this fall under the youtube guideline for bullying, and thus have reported the video.


What are your thoughts?

Mobile game is announced instead expansion or new PC game -> End of world it is not.
Pat the NES punk and Ian might have used rough language not nothing too hard.

Looking at the video comments I do agree that the responce is quite cry babyish.
"I paid thousands to attend and they cheated me out of my money with this announcement."
If all you want from the conference is to hear announcements few seconds before anyone online... eat my shorts.

IMO, he and (especially) his lackey are worthless complainers who’ve outstayed their welcome.

You reported that video?  I admit, they were pretty direct and obnoxious (as they usually are), and I did not care for the video.  But you reported it?  THAT is why people don't take reports on youtube seriously. 

As for the rest of it, I get why fans are pissed.  Diablo was advertised and people didn't deliver.  But all of this anger and speaking out means nothing if all these fanboys still go out and get the game.   So I guess we'l see.

...you felt the need...to report it.  Wow.

I'm not a die hard Diablo fan. If I were, I'd be pretty pissed that an exclusive chapter came out on a phone. I have an iPhone 8 but... at most... I play Pokemon Go on it. I don't want to play Castlevania, or Diablo on it. I want to play those games on my Switch, PC, Xbox or PS4. Blizzard should have made a PC port of Diablo Immortal as well. To call Diablo fans "Babies" and telll them to "Grow the fuck up"... The players Pat and his buddy are screaming at happen to be their fan base. Talk about out of touch.

I don't really have an opinion one way or the other.  I've never played any of the Diablo games.  I watch Pat on occasion if the topic is a subject I'm interested in, but I'm not enough of a fan to go out of my way to defend him.  From what I've seen, his response wasn't any more offensive or extreme from what he normally says when he takes a stance on something.  I get that Diablo fans are pissed, but I could never imagine going to a convention just to hear an announcement before it's on the internet.  While any fan certainly has the right to be unhappy with their presentation, in general, they clearly overreacted. 

Also, unless a video has nudity, or some extreme hate speech, reporting it will do nothing.
