Pat utilized a Kickstarter campaign for initial funding, and produced a quality book. There aren't a lot of books dedicated to this kind of content, but retro gaming has been growing in popularity and more and more offerings have appeared in recent years.

It is a compendium that reviews every game in the NES library. Much like Dead Space, Diablo died a death because of absolutely atrocious decisiion making, and calling the fans who saw this coming 'children' for voicing concern is a major dick move and shows absolutely no understanding of what was going on.A few years ago, Pat Contri, aka Pat the NES Punk, released his Ultimate Guide to the NES Library book (2017). As an example, the Spartan Assault mobile game from the Halo franchise didn't do all that well but they released it in tandem with Halo 4 so none of the fans really cared it existed and focused more on the real game. The fact there was a mobile game wasn't a problem, it was the fact that this was the big hyped up new main line Diablo game. When the fans bring up the very deserved criticism of the decision they are met with the most tone deaf response of 'don't you have phones?' which just pushed sll thr prople over the edge that would have stuck around for brand loyalty. The fans saw this, understood that no one was going to buy it and when you have an IP that is your least popular, you spend a good chunk of money on it and then it performs really badly what usually happens is that IP dies in the eyes if the publisher. They hyped the fans up for a big reveal that ended up being this low effort attempt at a sale which they could have ported to PC but just didn't.

Diablo was an IP with a strong following but performed worse than the other IP's Blizzard had. SweatyBaps 2y Linn Very late to the oarty here but thee is a much more effective way to explain why this was so bad from Blizzard.
