The Diablo subReddit is calling him a hero and countless memes are being made in honor of his open defiance at BlizzCon 2018. As a result, these fans are rallying around the 'April Fools' guy and praising him for taking the cheap shot. Our world features Diablo fans that feel cheated to the extreme, robbed of the juicy Diablo reveal they had been hoping for. In another world, attendees might have rallied around developers and wagged their fingers at one grumpy fan's attempt to derail the festivitiesīut we aren't in that world.

The Q&A format thrives off a spirit of genuine curiosity, not sarcastic traps meant to fluster people on stage. But instead of a charming peek into the dedication of one fan, it showcases a rude interaction in a setting that was meant to be friendly and welcoming. The 'April Fools' joke is (literally) another 'Red Shirt Guy' moment. 'Is this an out-of-season April Fools joke?'

Instead of excitement, there was skepticism, frustration, and even disgust in the air of conversations regarding the state of Diablo: Immortal. People wanted a new version of their beloved playable PC RPG and, instead, they were given an exclusive Mobile game. When the Diablo hype train crashed, there were little to no survivors. At BlizzCon 2018, a developer's worst nightmare occurred: the biggest fan event intended to celebrate the announcement of a new game turned very sour.
