    And in this case, I do mean that literally, and it includes Overwatch 2, that new Call of Duty, and everything else ATVI makes. Seriously, they hired this person AFTER all of the problems they had with Kotick and Blizzard and such.

    There’s an overwatch 2 bug where you get kicked out of comp (server error). Then you can’t log back in to the game until the game you got kicked from is over. My band are getting longer. It’s killing my ranked games. Please fix @BlizzardCS

  • Joe92678702 Joe (@Joe92678702) reported

    @Xbox Is this a safe space to complain that you ruined the system? Crap doesn’t work right and costumer service is absolute trash. Also how about we can play Overwatch because I have the new Xbox and he doesn’t. Thanks xbox!
