@SugarCrystal101 @Jay3OW everyone who played overwatch 1 started with a-lot of characters as well, it has never been a problem before. Also just because other free to play games do it doesn’t mean its good for overwatch

@The_Real_Wynaut @YokaiRiderVT The biggest issue in the community is that overwatch as a game sucks

@ArtworkLoco @Soma66562174 @SheepuSenpai_ Not really. I mean I like some games that are constantly updated (deep rock galactic is amazing) but overwatch is just... awful. That and the majority of live service games are shameless cash grabs that just have no spirit what so ever. Like halo infinite.

@PlayOverwatch @Blizzard_Ent help me out here. You guys are really telling me I won't be allowed to play Overwatch 2 because I have a pre-paid cell phone Millions of people use them, I can't be the only one having a problem here. I love Overwatch, just let me play.

@NormakYT @juusiey @Tathem29 I don't particularly like it either but let's be real, even if they tried to use it maliciously there is literally nothing of importance they could get from me talking to my team on overwatch. If someone is telling sensitive information in VC I think they have bigger problems

@jojosdeliverys1 @S_pedrayes @PlayOverwatch Bro so your argument is to just be a **** to everyone and say it “hardens” them people play overwatch to have a safe space and to get away from problems you being an ******* is destroying that safe space and making them not want to play or become what you are a toxic *******

@Bolverk15 >different version of the game with a new engine > no it doesn’t and the phone number thing isn’t really a major issue > the story mode is basically the actual overwatch 2, what is coming out next week is the update to the base game that they already told us about

@TweetyPS3 @Win98Tech @Lyde15 2. It’s also really weird that everyone suddenly has a problem with this when it’s overwatch and Acti-bliz doing it, as well as the copious amounts of misinformation being spread about the game and the framing of things that aim to help new users not fell overwhelmed are ******.

@OfTowering @shackle_ton World of Warcraft had a pretty bad problem with account hijacking and bots not too long ago. Not sure about Overwatch, though.

@Genji71660714 @PlayOverwatch This is a separate situation. They are addressing those that don’t own the original Overwatch. If you own it then it shouldn’t be an issue and if you have Watchpoint, everything is unlocked for you at launch. The only thing you would have to start paying is for Season 2.

The disconnect between the people yapping who doesn't know a thing about Overwatch in the past years and the core OW community is just 🤮 Try to learn a thing or two from the people who stuck around when all of you jumped ship.

@_Cloud_Striker_ @YokaiRiderVT First: Noone asked for OW2 be F2P, only reason they're doing it is because F2P brings in more players AND more revenue, just look at Fortnite/Apex/Valorant) Second: If this was the FIRST Overwatch, it'd not be a problem. It's a SEQUEL. And this system is worse than we had before

Honestly, the big issue with Overwatch 2 isn't all the minor terrible decisions (though they help), it's the fact that it's an update to 1. Once it releases, you can't play 1 at all anymore Playing Overwatch with friends is nice, and there's elements I enjoy

The amount of misinformation and subsequent negativity from that misinformation around Overwatch 2 is so disheartening. I truly believe Blizzard is making good faith decisions to improve the quality of the experience and secure its future as a live-service game

A lot of people are saying "Ohhh it's good to counteract smurfs!! smurfs are such a huge issue in Overwatch!" Smurfing is like at the bottom of the ******* list in Overwatch dude. Smurfs in other games are an issue, but Overwatch requires so much teamwork. One person is not god.

Overwatch "Hater": I don't like the company that's involved with Overwatch and how much the devs have made the game genuinely unfun for the past few years with more issues on the way Overwatch "Fan": *Writes a whole thread on why you're "wrong"*

@magicmad11 @YokaiRiderVT it's not even always a credit issue either, i would definitely get credit approval for post-paid but have had prepaid for AGES so due to loyalty discounts this is how i am able to get unlimited data without spending a ton and i am NOT giving that up for ******* overwatch

@aspenisoffline Everything besides the requiring a phone number thing is fine. I won't be able to log in to overwatch 2 because my service provider is pre paid and Blizzard says I either have to switch providers or say goodbye to OW from now on

@peter_dozal @Gale_Adelade Also don't much care for them stopping service for Overwatch to force everyone into Overwatch 2 or that new players to Overwatch 2 have restricted access until they've played a hundred matches.
