The result of greedy sharks who drowned the creativity and passion of developers in the name of money, I introduce you to Overwatch 2 !

Maybe it's still possible to have a little fun with it, but there are so many negative points that fun is quickly replaced by bitterness. Overwatch 1 was a fine experience, certainly too generous by market standards compared to other shooters that adopted the battle pass system earlier than it did. But to turn it into such a bad, penny-pinching opposite... I really feel sorry for the developers who see their work crumble year after year.

Blizzard won't be able to restore its reputation in the eyes of gamers by continuing down this path. It's not all about money. It's not all about pressure, crunch and abuse of employees. We don't know everything that goes on in Blizzard's offices, but if it comes down to making games that are so money-grubbing and disrespectful of players and developers alike, it's time to stop. Take a deep breath. And clean up this mess. Change the industry. Do something right for once. It happens to make mistakes, no matter how horrible, but it's also possible to fix them, to change. The hypocrisy has to stop.

I doubt we'll find the same sensations as in Overwatch 1, but it was great to discover them back then. We miss you, buddy.
Version 1.5 of yourself will never be anything but a fetid lie that saddens its fans, a lie because the very purpose of this "2" was to go for something new and so exciting, but it will never be that way. Because the slim glimpse we'll be served up like hungry dogs will require us to spend a fortune to access denatured, premature and filthy content.

Life is expensive enough these days that we don't need to be knowingly robbed.

Don't force people who are too weak and still have a tiny shred of hope left in them to pay. You know very well that there are plenty of them.

The point of a game is to be able to play it, not to rub a company's balls regularly with a credit card and then gain access to it. Please don't think of the players as your wh0res, Kotick. Think of people as human beings.

You can still try to play Overwatch 2, but it'll be frustrating, the players will be angry/frustrated, the content you'll get will be poor and scattered. Have fun with this crap.
