As a youtuber once said, "Blizzard bound and tied up Overwatch, violently executed it and replaced it with a half-baked homunculus."

[vividdaydream]

It doesn't help that Blizzard basically dumped their original playerbase in an attempt to capture the "hardcore shooter fans" demographic... and the OG players they pushed out of the game _("you are no longer Overwatch's intended audience, get used to it or leave")_ understandably feel betrayed.

Whats really crazy is that in 2023 a shooter getting a story mode is extra content and not the standard....how did we get to this State of gaming

[locle]

you know it bad when people miss the loot box

[sk_form]

I personally never got into overwatch, yet alone overwatch 2, but this is just ridiculous, I thought tf2 never getting an update for YEARS was bad, I guess false promises from a constantly updating game is worse.

[MiikaMeeka]

Its crazy how a GOTY winner can fall to a level such as this lmao

Part you forget to mention was the falling out between Activision and Netease the Chinese company they had a deal with to bring Activision/Blizzard games to the Chinese market. That deal falling out led to every game that they were selling being Thanos snapped out of existence in China. Except for Diablo Immortal because the deal for that was with a different Chinese company. The result was all the Activision/Blizzard players in China didn't just lose access to play WoW, and Overwatch among many others their data was terminated. Imagine playing WoW for over a decade just to suddenly lose everything you played and built because of Bobby Kotik fumbling the ball.

As you might guess Chinese players are furious over this. When OW2 came to Steam it gave the Chinese players a chance to make their displeasure known, and make it known they did. If you browse all the reviews and turn off the language filter you will find a shockingly high number of negative reviews in Chinese.

After years of being hail as TF2 killer, TF2 did nothing but watch all of this burning down. God I love the community so much where every toxic shit that has been done counts as wholesome in TF2

Removing 6v6 was one of the worst decisions they could’ve made. Just from a psychological POV, they cut 1/6th of every game for people that played Overwatch 1 without adding anything to make up for it. If you know about Paladins (also a 5v5 game) they *launched* with that game as 5v5. Whereas since OW2 is just OW1 reskinned, Blizz cut 1/6th of the gameplay loop of a game that was built for 6v6 without any real thought besides “tank meta bad”…

I grinned like a madman when the TF2 music kicked in. That's probably one of, if not THE, most instantly recognizable and iconic jingles in all of gaming

7:06 I had more fun spending 2 years as a f2p on tf2, without being able to say medic or anything.

2:37 Next stop, Overwatch 3, "We will now require your Social Security Number, Home Address, Phone Number, and Debit Card linked to a major brokerage firm like Morgan Stanley. This is all done to ensure top level security to prevent hackers... and ensure our bottom line."

As a TF2 player, I feel like for some reason I've always harbored some sort of subconscious angry resentment towards Overwatch, and I only realized this when I noticed how elated I was when I noticed how far Blizzard has been falling as of late...
I think that's kinda messed up to be resentful of a game that I don't even play.

Tf2 remains victorious for doing absolutely nothing

Overwatch 2 also killed events. The events of OW1 were always a great time. Completing challenges to get a single skin, some random trash like a charm and the rest of the event skins being $20 a piece...completely took the joy out of seeing a trailer for a new halloween event for example. Seeing what new skins in the trailer you’d be able to grind for during the event was so exciting and actually felt like an event. I doubt we will ever see Overwatch have features like that again, but I really hope I’m wrong. 😔

[MeiskatVEVO]

DUDE you’re underrated!!! You pretty much summed it up, I’m sad to see the game in this stage, I was also a day 1 and this is heartbreaking

[ramizian]

It made me so freaking sad to see one of my favorite games destroyed by a money factory, the developers & artists must have felt so much anxiety because of that

[expa]

For those wondering, all the skins you could earn for free in the first game are now being sold at ridiculous prices in the second game which is also littered with microtransactions a battle pass.

[tankbusterJ]

I miss original Overwatch, wish they would just revert the game back to how it was. I know that will never happen but a man can dream.

[selena]

I had more fun spending 1 game in Tf2 than I have had my 400 hours in OW2
