Reports are now talking about a new dispute for "Diablo Immortal," and it is because of the insults that an Activision Blizzard employee posted on the Weibo social media platform against the Chinese leader. Another delay may be what gamers would face for the game's release in China after the verified employee's post against President Xi Jinping appeared online.
'Diablo Immortal': Weibo Post May Cause Another Delay for Release
"Diablo Immortal" is out in the world, and global players are able to download and access the game for their experience and entertainment needs for the massive multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG). However, in China, the game experienced a delay in its release, and Dexerto said that it was because of an incident with an employee.
The game has been available since June 2 in the United States and other regions worldwide, but the Chinese gaming market is yet to receive the game from NetEase. The alleged Weibo post from the verified "Diablo Immortal" account brought an international fiasco for the game. China's Radio Free Asia said it was from a NetEase/Blizzard employee.
Insult Against President Xi Jinping from the Blizzard Employee
The post in the account insulted and criticized President Xi Jinping, and it went as far as calling the Chinese president "Winnie," from the known Walt Disney show, "Winnie the Pooh." The reference is directly related to President Xi Jinping, which was previously associated with the state head of the People's Republic of China.
The post reads, "Why isn't (Winnie) the bear going out of office yet?"
'Diablo Immortal's' Release for the World
The world can now download "Diablo Immortal" on their mobile devices from the Google Play Store for Android and the Apple App Store for iOS. The release came earlier than expected, and the world now experiences the new mobile game from Activision Blizzard and NetEase, only that it is not yet available to the Netherlands and Belgium.
The game ventured out for mobile devices and aims to give the experience right on one's hands, without the need for PC setups and gaming consoles to fulfill their need for a "Diablo" game at all times. The company released the accessibility features for the game and announced its access for Razer Kishi and other mobile controllers for the experience.
Now, there is a massive dispute between Activision Blizzard and China, and despite it being unknown to the world, it may cause delays and issues with the application's existence in the Asian country. The Blizzard employee's statement insulted the Chinese President, and it is unknown if this is the main reason for its delay in the country.
