@N0NZILLA @DestinLegarie They arent being hypocritical tho, as scope of Acti +poss IP exclusivity unprecedented +orders of magnitude beyond industry standard/anything prior. Not just COD mind you, Overwatch, Diablo, Warcraft, Doom, Crash, Spyro etc. Hell, Acti in FY2021 made more profit than PlayStation!

Overwatch 2 is broken IF - not everyone has karaoke on Busan - you still can’t put a spray outside attacker third spawn on Junkertown - ganymede doesn’t get a hat on at least one bastion skin

@BombosMedallion They're shutting the servers down two days before 2 even comes out. There will be a whole day where *nobody* can play Overwatch.

@NNicx458 @bendednikes @1exi Again, updates and expansions are content. I bought Overwatch in 2016 and got 3 years of live service with regular additions of heroes, maps, and gamemodes all at no costs beyond what I bought the game for

The only real problem I have with Overwatch 2 right now is it seems credits are staying as is and they are adding a 4th currency instead of just changing credits

@OverwatchNaeri i have a question, i have overwatch bought on a secondary account and not the main one i play on ps (i had problems with the store on my main years ago) will i get the perks of playing overwatch 1 on overwatch 2 on the account that bought the game, or my main one for playing it?

@IngameHector @JezCorden @CMAgovUK How it could be bad for gaming industry? Giving anti-competitive prev multiplat IP edge unprecedented in industry. COD among biggest IP avail w pred playerbase on PS, enough for huge marketshare impact +sub future. Other IP too; Warcraft, Crash, Diablo, Doom, Overwatch, Spyro etc

@RvrsOnTwitch @BungieHelp Yes every game has issues. Of course. But not like this. How often do whole operators in R6 get disabled? Or hero’s in Overwatch? Or weapons in CoD? Minor issues and bugs are expected. A major issue here and there is fine. But we have multiple exotics disabled every season.

@pcgamer Unless they make changes to the car crash of a battle pass, I guess I won't be playing any overwatch after the 2nd.

@Mr_InfernoGamez @Logmey92 Which ip in particular are they abandoning? Overwatch 2 is coming no? Diablo IV? There was just a Crash Bandicoot 4 and Crash Team Racing game no? They still have their pc oriented titles like WOW and Hearthstone no?

Nothing good comes out of leaks, and nothing good comes out of harassing journalists, but clearly the Overwatch community takes issue with people doing their jobs in a healthy manner.

@mizliz_ The Overwatch team not communicating earlier make it so we get leakers. So, there is a source to where the problem is.

(@tavetorres) reported
@YourOverwatchYT What you mean to say is that while other games reward the players that buy the battle pass and then play a lot, helping maintain the service alive, Overwatch is gonna ask people to continue to pay to enjoy the game no matter how much time they spend on it.

@1TheStickman1 @Linktm They say it is to make comps more balanced and I scream that Overwatch was meant as a casual team shooter where balance wasn't that big of an issue. Now it's just a dry 5v5 with little distinction. Removing May's freeze made me go, "Okay so they're not super unique anymore."

@1exi Overwatch is a game about switching, idc if there are onetricks or whatever and I wont have the problem to unlock every hero bc I have no life and play it all day, but there are people who only play sometimes and cant get every hero, Overwatch was the game where you got 1/2

@Custa I'm just gonna be happy if they succeed at the live service aspect. There is no going back to that 2016 -2018 Overwatch, but getting that live service off the ground will give us a great game.

So Blizzard lied (again) and they're actually shutting the Overwatch servers down?? Bruh.

@Potatoman_023 @Custa This is true but what happens if I get busy for an extended period of time and don't have time to play Overwatch enough to get enough coins or whatever to unlock battle passes? Suddenly I'm missing heroes or I'm playing catch-up. Same issues for new players years down the track

Jomo the Accursed(?) (Commissions Full!!!)
(@JomoOfTheKin) reported
What do you mean you have to unlock new Overwatch 2 heros via a battle pass? Not that I intended on playing but, holy ****. They have to be intentionally trying to make the game crash and burn at this point.

Hopefully they'll finally fix the voice chat glitch in overwatch 2 😳 because wtf

DreadGear
(@GearDread) reported
@Ultradeej the difference is that there are no locked new heroes in dota. Overwatch is a game designed around counter picking. So what happens if you release a new hero which by "accident" happens to be broken. Tough luck, better not be poor next time

@DiceyJune Overwatch is just an issue from top to bottom, the only thing they ever had was polish on assets.

@burgeroise Which ALSO Overwatch the esport is a spectator, player, and design nightmare Blizzard walked into thinking they could solve the problem with money.

(@ShujoBoi) reported
@dev1sing @RianneTV @KarQGames Overwatch 2 does not nearly require counter picking and swapping in the same way Overwatch 1 did. Some characters are stronger and weaker against each other, but in practice it’s never TRULY been the case that “just switch 4head” ever solved the problem except for like, Brig
