The thing that concerns me about Overwatch shutting down is that if Overwatch 2 is successful, this will signal to other developers that this is a viable strategy to drive sales. By forcing users to repeatedly move like this, it becomes a subscription service in disguise.

@Blizzard_Ent I am VERY upset about Overwatch 2 requiring a specific phone to login. My four sons have been looking forward this game but I cannot afford another phone service but Cricket.

@Blizzard_Ent As a parent that does not even play most video games, I am VERY upset about Overwatch 2 requiring a specific phone to login. I understand the cheating thing but cheaters will find a way regardless. It's keeping basically ALL four of my sons from playing.

@Blizzard_Ent I've been wanting to instal overwatch 2 on xbox (my preferred platform) But i'm unable to unless I get the Watch point pack which I need to pay for. Overwatch 2 is supposed to be free to play. Please fix this issue.

Seeing their are so many problems with the mandatory SMS Protection Overwatch 2 is using and the wait time to fix them being DAYS long, kind of makes me glad I linked my cellphone like 2 years ago... O_o

@TheOtherTravGuy At least by the end of it, overwatch didn't have a bot problem that didn't make the game completely unplayable. So saying tf2 "outlived" overwatch is a huge stretch

Huh, made an error. Looks like Overwatch 2 drops same time as the game normally updates: 21:00 GMT+2. Sadge since power will be off til 22:00.

@eurogamer If they’re both live-service games, and they were going to delete the original, what’s the point of calling it Overwatch 2? Why not just call it Overwatch? Silly

@TheActMan_YT I think it is an improvement from what overwatch 1 was turning towards, I think it will be much more fun that double shield bs, but there are lots of issues that I have with it and with blizzard. As long as you don't get sucked into competitive it should be fun.

My favorite game dies today. A new one takes its place... Im sad. But it had to go, so many issues. With that said. I made some friends who are great people. And hope theyll download the replacement, and try it with me. @PlayOverwatch is dead. Long Live #overwatch

Please excuse me while I try to use what little internet fame I have left to solve a problem I am having: Just curious if anyone following me is at Blizzard and can help me with a dumb Battlenet account problem so I can start playing Overwatch 2 today. Thanks

@BlizzardCS basically told me my phone provider isn't good enough or not compatible with their services so even though i've had overwatch 1 since release i can't play OW 2 with my current service provider lmao.

Gonna wait for Overwatch to become Overwatch 2... Login to see if everything earned has transferred over and to see any of the changes... Then probably uninstall it to open up HD space for games that I want to finish... Yeah... that's the plan for today...

@BlizzardCS Hey! My Blizzard account is listing me as in Germany, instead of the UK -- meaning I cannot play Overwatch 2... Would it be possible to get any support to fix this ASAP?

@BlizzardCSEU_EN Hello, I'm having trouble registering a phone number to my account to play Overwatch 2, due to my account region being incorrect. I was excited to play on launch and even bought the watchpoint pack. Do you have any idea if my ticket will be dealt with by then?

@Blizzard_Ent Can you please get rid of this "post-paid phone number" nonsense? I can't use any phone number in my household and can't play cause of it. None of them work. I really don't want to quit Overwatch! But it won't let me play it because of this issue! Please take any #
