I was actually thinking I could see myself playing Diablo 4 on mobile if 
it weren't online only.  I had an internet outage yesterday and was 
looking for something to do.  Eventually I got my phone set up for a hot 
spot and was able to get on long enough to launch Lies of P on the xbox 
app, then turned it off, as it's just needed to authenticate for 
gamepass if you already have a game.

I don't remember I may have it, but I'd buy that for a dollar!
