Yesterday, legendary actress Whoopi Goldberg took to Instagram to blast Blizzard for not releasing Diablo 4 for Apple.
In a minute-long video, Goldberg explained how excited she was to play Diablo 4, which she called her «favourite game» series, on her Apple computer, which she called her «favourite gaming system».

«Blizzard Entertainment, this is Whoopi,» Goldberg continued. «You know how much I love Diablo. I would like y'all to let those of us who use our Apples, to play. Allow us to play on the Apple. Take Diablo 4 and let us do it and have a great time.»
For Diablo 5, Goldberg stated she didn't mind if it was not on Apple as long as the publisher made it clear beforehand. Still, she again implored Blizzard to let her play Diablo 4 on her Mac.
Simply put, the situation «really pissed me off», Goldberg concluded.
