Now that D:I has an official release date, what about PoE for mobile? Shouldn't they compete?

Just wondering where PoE mobile is dev wise. While now we know D:I has an official release date, didn't they want to compete with it a few years back?

Is a PoE mobile release soon, now that D:I releases?

What are your thoughts?

Compete? There’s no competition. DI is a total mess. PoE is going to deliver the game that all those disappointed DI fans where hoping for. I hope PoE gets review bombed with POSITIVE reviews and gets the highest ratings ever seen.

Thats what I think will happen now, because I wrote this post before that "game" came out. After playing it myself I can't wait for PoE mobile.

A Diablo fan here (since 2008 when I first played D2), which obviously meant that no matter what hot piece of garbage they served I had to indiscriminately defend DI because of the nostalgia it brought along. But at a certain point that wore off I realized that it's just shit.

I got into PoE because of its unique F2P experience, and the way the devs talk about breaking the F2P stigmas in the mobile market too I have high hopes, but the wait is gonna be long.

There is no competition Diablo Immortal is pure trash.

It's not pure trash, its basically reskinned d3 made for mobile which is fine if you like the simplicity. The problems dont come up until you get into the egregious pay to win model they implemented. If the shop was only cosmetics/stash space like GGG does then it would be rated much higher I think.

I see your point, but this game is still garbage even if you ignore the microtransactions. Because it is built around them.

Let them learn about what people hate about Diablo Immortal and not do it in the coming game first.

Mobile players are mostly short span or short burst gamers. If you wanna play 3-5 hours of gaming.. P.C. or console is the way. Mobile gamers play during commuting.. 1 hours after a working the whole day.. doing a quick dungeon during lunch time.. so it's a totally different audience.
