Normally id give a game the benefit of the doubt with first day launch issues but this game started development AS SOON AS OVERWATCH RELEASED and has minimal new content and is basically unplayable. And i cant even play OW 1 cuz they DELETED IT. great gaming practices all around

Okay cool it's not just a me thing. Turns out if you have a phone with Cricket service you can't add your phone to your Battle net account and thus can't play overwatch two at all

Before. Why start now? I hope she doesn't really need one to sign in because she can't play and she's an overwatch vet and loves that game

overwatch 2 on console in eu is literally unplayable, and blizzard isn't providing sufficient information with real time status and fix reports as they temporarily take down servers to fix them. this is such a messy launch.

@willwarr_ The problem with overwatch was that it wanted to have it both ways. They wanted it to be a fun shooter AND an esport out the gate, and because they wanted to force it to be an esport they made the game actively less fun for casual players (IE most players) over time

@BlizzardCS @PlayOverwatch This phone number protection step is unfair. I can’t play Overwatch 2 bc I have a Cricket phone number. I paid for Overwatch 1, but now I can’t even play that anymore either. This issue needs to be fixed, or I demand a refund.

Bro Overwatch 2 isn’t worth it man, I’ve been sitting here watching my sister trying to get on it and it’s taking her forever to even join a game, and the sad thing is she had to use our grandmas phone number to help her to be able to help her login #Overwatch2notworthit

I get that they just have to wait for this DDos attack to conclude, but it just sucks. I made so much extra time today for Overwatch 2 only to play queue simulator :/ #Overwatch2

(@ASadAssCipher) reported
@Cricketnation @PlayOverwatch Dang, guess I can't play Overwatch 2 because Blizzard doesn't recognize cricket as a real cell phone service provider and won't let their customers play their game. I can't play a game I care about because of my provider? That's stupid.

@PlayOverwatch look, blame a ddos attack all you want but at the end of the day, the people reading this tweet and the overwatch pr team both know it was the managment team that had their thumbs in their asses intead of where they needed to be.

Been playing overwatch since the first beta in 2016. I wish I could say I’m surprised at this but it’s blizzard. 7 hours later and servers are still down on release day? Embarrassing. Did you put all the money into ads and forgot about boosting the server size. ddos my ***🙄 #OW2
