    A short clip from the Diablo Immortal announcement at BlizzCon 2018 in which a Blizzard representative asks the booing audience if they do not have phones.

    Cited as a shorthand example of a tone-deaf corporate response, especially around Blizzard and mobile gaming.

    1. @duskwuffFeb 2019· in “Activision Blizzard staff reportedly bracing for layoffs”

      > The don't you guys have phones meme is direct response to the Blizzcon announcement that the next Diablo was going to be a mobile game not even produced by Blizzard. I mean, it isn't just a meme. A Blizzard representative literally said "Do you guys not have phones?" during a Q&A session, after someone asked whether the new Diablo game would be available on PC. this video Fans were going to be disappointed either way, but this dismissive response is what really set off the reaction.

    2. @FnoordMay 2019· in “U.S. adults are spending big on video games, playing mostly on smartphones”

      Ah, suddenly "You guys all have phones right?" [1] makes sense. Its about "follow the money". [1] this video

    3. @jiggawattsMay 2021· in “eBPF on Windows”

      It feels like that Blizzard developer Wyatt Cheng that got on stage and asked the PC gamer crowd: "Do you guys not have phones?" this video The Windows Terminal guys are similar. "Do you have any plans at all to make this work for users of Windows?" "No."
