  I lied I'm streaming Overwatch again; I have a problem

  @SRPADERPA I dunno. Overwatch League was huge! You didn't see other esports games on network television. I think the problems with the company could be a part of this decision.

  @moonares @garyblack00 Overwatch 2 has been delayed so it can fix the mess. The first Overwatch was magnificent. The delay is a positive in this case. Diablo 2 Remastered just came out and is magnificent. I think it is better that they milk that than release Diablo 4 too early.

  Think twice before buying or playing Call of Duty, Warcraft, Overwatch, Hearthstone, Crash, Spyro, Assassins Creed, Watchdogs, Far Cry, Tom Clancy and Tony Hawks. On one hand, developers shouldn’t suffer twice but similarly we shouldn’t line the pockets of rapists and abusers.

  @Stylosa The board resembles the game. A stagnant car crash. Overwatch doesn’t need to be brand new, it needs improving and developed just like the board. The board needs to be freshened up for new ideas, just like the game. HAND IN HAND.

  @mikeBithell There are so many bad takes on it going around. Saw someone on Reddit say that QA is at fault for not finding issues... But a post-mortem really would be fascinating. Same with the production of Overwatch 2.

  can't believe it'll suffer from the Overwatch Problem since Disney doesn't wanna touch post-TROS at all

  @ATVI_AB I'm calling it, they're changing another Overwatch character's name to compensate instead of the real problem.

  @Apply I had the same issue, I just uninstalled overwatch, ptr and owl viewer and then banye net, I installed it again from the website, no weird updates for now

  @FlippinAngie 10 heroes are broken so there the only playable heroes is more accurate for overwatch

  @RickKackis It's clearly the name of an Overwatch character. Change the name, slap that bandaid over that fatal wound and call it a problem solved!

  @redlianak Problem is. They know people will stick with WoW subs even if Bobby is found to be a cannibal. They will still play Overwatch. They will still Play CoD. People can hate him all they want, but if he makes money nothing will ever change.

  @MatttGFX Thank god crash or overwatch didn't got in smash It would have been very awkward

  I'm not sure overwatch has enough characters to announce that they are gay to fix this guys...

  But sure @PlayOverwatch @Blizzard_Ent smurfs aren't a problem in overwatch competitive play.

  @serperior83 I tried to watch Overwatch and had the exact same problem. Fighter Z was fun to watch for me at least

  With all the culture related problems, the slim release schedule for next year (Diablo 4 and Overwatch 2 won't happen before H2-23), WoW losing traction etc, I don't see any reason to buy $ATVI here. I'd need ~5O$ for decent R/R.

  @MatttGFX I’ve legitimately stopped buying Overwatch merch and even stopped supporting YouTubers who still play Blizzard games and dear god can this run away train please crash it’s getting worser and worser

  @DogThatHates I actually got back into old *** games as well. I think the issue is that many big releases in the last few years have been online perpetual games like Apex, Fortnite, or Overwatch. So there’s less new releases because these games just get new characters/skins

  I started to feel the relent on the anti-Activision embargo, as the CoD itch was coming back. Today’s news very quickly kicked that up the arse. Call of Duty, Overwatch, Diablo, Warcraft, Spyro, Crash Bandicoot, Candy Crush. They continue to remain dead and buried in this house.

  @Ms5000Watts Overwatch, Diablo, & anything else from this company can kiss future purchases from me bye-bye. At this point, affecting their bottom line is the only way to make them wake up, but I even have doubts about that. Watch them pathetically "rebrand" with a new name to "fix" it. 🙄

  Overwatch will not get cross-progression until Free2Play happens. Reason? The ability to make infinite smurfs on console versions of Overwatch. Unless that issue is solved, cross-progression could spread the infinite smurf problem to PC

  At a certain point, I think people just either have to play Overwatch and deal with the abilities they don't like or can't handle very well and learn or articulate your problems, or else stop playing

  @Apply I had the same issue, I just uninstalled overwatch, ptr and owl viewer and then battle net, I installed it again from the website, no weird updates for now

  people need to stop blaming the devs so much for ow1/ow2’s problems. blizzard/activision are a mess, and it’s not fair to put failings on the overwatch team when they’re dealing with everything going on at their company and the fallout of it being reported

  @BitchyAmi Overwatch problem?

• 
  Laura Parkinson (@StormyCoyote) reported 57 minutes ago

  @VanderForge In a heartbeat. I mean, offer 300k and I'd take it. I enjoyed the crap out of Overwatch at the time but playing anything Blizzard leaves a bad taste in my mouth now anyhow. I hope they fix their stuff, but I'd still take the 300k.

  @RaneMstSage @VrynThorn They enjoy to work on wow, overwatch etc. I don't get why they should leave? They are trying to make a change within the company. Leaving won't solve anything. The problem will still be here. New employees will join. And nothing would be solved.
