It wasn’t going to make Fortnite money and basically was going to be a pit to shovel money into and then burn.
They really messed up making Overwatch 2 free-to-play, but I don’t think there’s any going back. =(
At this point it’ll become irrelevant until an interesting hero comes out and people will play the hero for a little bit and stop playing.
The Line Animation + Cowboy Bebop, if anything was going to bring me back to Overwatch it would be this combination of things!
And yet…
It was cool stylistically, but I low-key ignored it. I really solely play in ranked competitive.
Bricky, a YouTuber I like, recently did an “unwilling” stream of OW2 by being roped into a collaboration. I thought the game looked still fun and what I remembered when I was really deep into it. It seemed like identical to what I used to play regularly except with a couple of additional characters. And exactly that is the problem, illustrating just how terrible the completely unnecessary switch to Ovewatch 2 was which did absolutely nothing except be a cheap attempt of creating excitement. That coupled with the horrifying corporate culture at Blizzard and I have absolutely no desire to play the game.

I hate to say it, but so goes every major creator of AAA games =( They just rotate who did the worst thing most recently.
Which explains in part why I play very few AAA games.
I was honestly more interested in Overwatch’s CGI shorts.
I guess the budget for those have dried up.
