To be fair, looking at how both Diablo 4 (PC/Consoles) and Diablo Immortal (Mobile) are doing today, they seem to be on the way to capture both audiences with solid products in either side.
Mobile gaming industry sucks so much, D:I is actually a good product there. It offers so much more than your regular ad-infested crap with "recharge energy" mechanics at the very least. It might be the worst compared to what is available on PC/consoles, but those are different audiences. For the more informed consumers Blizzard has Diablo 4, where they seem to restrain greed to somewhat acceptable levels.
Yes they've fumbled with their PR back then, might've made one of the worst presentations in industry history (look at Bethesda & Fallout Shelter and see it being masterfully done) and generally been incompetent in a few of their recent titles (W3: Reforged and OW2 comes first into mind), still, looking at it today, Diablo as a franchise looks like a right step than otherwise.
