The upcoming mobile version of Diablo 4

The statement trailer for Path of Exile Mobile, shown below, jabs without much subtlety in how the developers wanted to make a game with zero compromise, and that is to saya great game which just so happened to be played on a telephone. Without naming Diablo 4 Gold they record most of the complaints which gamers have against that forthcoming project, including how it isn't being developed by Blizzard, but was farmed out to another party, and the way that it is a watered-down version of the game on PC.

Years before, the idea of porting Diablo 4 on a phone would have been a bit too extreme, but with the rising ability of smartphones, the recognized notion of playing on less powerful hardware together with the powerful Nintendo Switch interface, and the visuals of Diablo IV which we've seen so far, this is no more the case.

Not porting Diablo 4 to phones is a missed opportunity, especially because cross development between platforms might have been a big selling point not just for people who still play the sport, but to lure players back or to purchase it for the very first time on PC or games console. Imagine knowing that progression made depended on a Seasonal Journey, for instance and having a full size Diablo 4 match on your phone.

The situation for Diablo 4 being ported to mobile devices could be made as that the game is such a simplified sequel compared to Diablo 4 or Path of Exile. There's little in terms of decision making for gear and best end game assembles, and if Path of Exile can accommodate its system of immense, complicated character customization, there's not any good reason for Diablo 4 to not work well.

We've not seen how Blizzard will seek to monetize Diablo IV, though speculation is that resources for playtime will probably be gated, or that one course will be free and additional courses must be bought separately. It's not easy to say whether a port of Diablo 4 materials for sale would be profitable, but there is no doubt that it could be better for gamers, especially those who still enjoy the sport on their PCs and console.
