It is now objectively a worst product for the people who paid full-price. They retroactively made all the previous skins very hard to obtain, and you no longer get new heroes without paying or grinding. That’s it, that’s Overwatch 2. Everything else has been canned.
No they added more crappy pve that isn’t any better than the old pve
Oh wait
Wish gamers could learn about voting with their wallets
Most can’t do their own taxes or hold a budget. You expect too much of the average player.
Good, let it rot at the bottom.
If only shareholders could see what is happening and change their mind on what is a good, appealing game (à la BG3).
I’ll keep dreaming.

They can’t hear over the millions in profit from microtransactions
Exactly this. People are so blinded by their bubbles that they think that these companies are actually having a hard time. And every single time they go like: “How often do we have to teach you this lesson?!”
There.is.no.lesson! This whole BS works. They have never made more money.
Continue to vote with your wallet. Don’t support crooks, throw your dollars at companies like Larian and hopefully the others will follow suit and start making good games.
100%. This is a collective effort and since the market is mostly 20-40 yo demographic with disposable income, it’s up to them to do the right thing.
I stopped playing if when they put heroes behind the battle pass, and thus giving very real game advantage for money. They can shove it
I did too, but I got back in when they gave you a pretty easy achievement-based unlock the next season after the hero drops. I don’t love it but it means you’ll get the heroes at most 1 season late if you’re not active enough to complete the free-tier battle-pass.
So it’s not nice but at least there’s no FOMO. It’s more like unlocking weapons in TF2 in terms of difficulty than true “pay to win”.
To me the big pisser is that the OW1 gameplay of 2-2-2 is no longer available. 5 players is not large enough team for a game with a respawn timer and slow rollouts - losing one player (especially the tank) means the teamfight is over. That much pressure is just bad gameplay for a game that was originally supposed to be an approachable take on TF2.
If they wanted smaller teams, they needed to rework how costly deaths are in teamfights. And OP tanks was just a dumb idea altogether.
I mean it makes sense. The game is just the 1st one but worse in every way.
As much as I agree with the communities disdain for Overwatch 2. Blizzard knocked it out of the park with steam integration. No launcher, just sign into your account and it links them and you have your friends lists available. I hope that blizzard keeps this up and releases more games through steam this way.
It’s kind of the bare minimum. Nor is it particularly challenging if a small indie dev like those behind deep rock galactic can do the same.
But the difference is that blizzard moved from bnet to steam and companies like Ubisoft/ea tend to make steam a launcher launcher. DRG devs (rock and stone!) Build up from nothing with steam so it’s easier to convince them to do it. They didn’t start with a launcher so making one doesn’t make sense.

Desperation does this. They are so desperatly hoping someone is playing this mess, that they can’t afford to put in even the slightest hurdle.
I love the reviews and comments that are not reviews. All it does is give them free advertising while ignoring the real issues. Like OW2 engine performance issues, removal of OW server locations, or even admitted rigged match making to push sales…
Wow it’s even worse than flatout 3???
Im sorry but its funny… :)
And well deserved by Blizzard.
Can someone explain all the overwatch hate? I’ve enjoyed playing it.
