SE is responsible for leading the hype-train and setting expectations

I'mma be real, I don't know what SE should've done. If they had said -no- to male bunnies in EU it'll been Blizzard - do you not have phones- all over again

I don't like the genderlock, but the whole thing with Diablo and the latest Blizzcon is on a different order of magnitude. With Blizzcon, they were announcing to their majority-PC-based playerbase that the next major development for the Diablo franchise would be a mobile game; no expansion, no series installment for the PC platform, not even a PC version of the mobile game. Not everyone playing FFXIV cared about the races, but people playing Diablo wanted something to look forward to in the capacity that past games have given them (myself included).

SE would have been better served ripping off the band-aid, rather than leaving the fanbase speculating and hoping (for nothing) for more than a month.
