Do You Guys Not Have Phones is a remark said by Blizzard Entertainment principal game designer Wyatt Cheng during the presentation of mobile game Diablo Immortal at BlizzCon in November 2018. The remark, which was said as an answer to the crowd's disappointed reaction to Diablo Immortal being strictly mobile, has since been used to mock both Blizzard Entertainment and video game publishers acting disconnected from gaming audiences in general.

Cheng then proceeded to ask, "Do you guys not have phones?" (video with reactions shown below, right).

- I see a lot of mechanics that we've kind of been begging for in Diablo 3. Is there any plans to make this playable on PC or is this stictly mobile forever?
- Yeah, the current plan is to be on mobile both Andoid and iOS. We don't have any plans at the moment to do a PC. [crowd booing] Do you guys not have phones?
