    Hey @Paris10574066 I don’t think I’ll be able to stream for a while it’s my headset sometimes it wants to work and sometimes it doesn’t want to work if I can’t figure out what’s going on I’ll upload the overwatch 2 videos instead of streaming them hope that’s not an issue

  • The_Jamazing Jack (@The_Jamazing) reported

    I find it funny that a lot people are excited for Overwatch 2 because 2CP is gone when Push suffers from the same issues that 2 CP suffered from. It might actually be worse!

  • _godcheese godcheese (@_godcheese) reported

    CoD had this issue that Overwatch 2 is now entering where something that might be OP, like a Gun in CoD for instance... is locked behind a pay wall. This effectively makes Overwatch 2 a pay to win model, unless everyone gets day zero access to new heroes. 4/4.

  • frickitydickity kiki 💞 (@frickitydickity) reported

    @BlizzardCS so you're seriously not allowing people with prepaid numbers to play Overwatch 2? we're really blocking off low & middle class people from a game they paid for? people say Mint Mobile works, but it's not working for me, presumably because I've used prepaid before.

  • Mattmanver2 🎮mattmanver2🎮 (@Mattmanver2) reported

    Overwatch supposedly just dead, Stadia shutting down. It's safe to say live service and cloud gaming just aren't desirable things. Trouble is we have companies like Sony doubling down on this **** for the next 10 years.

  • JAz3TV JAz3 (@JAz3TV) reported

    @_lobotomyx Overwatch my favorite shooter. Only 400 hours because I was always in trouble because of school and when Fortnite I quit to play that instead. But it's the only game I didn't quit because I wasn't having fun the only reason I quit was the hop on the Fortnite train.

  • PKblaze_Twitch PKblaze (@PKblaze_Twitch) reported

    It's wild to me that #Overwatch / #Overwatch2 is going free to play. The biggest problem I had with the game back when I played it was smurfs ruining every game. Now it's free comp is boned.

  • ameIiance cringe (@ameIiance) reported

    @ruukina @horseadjacent iirc some of the overwatch team talked about how the change was something they chose and it was as much for themselves, the people who were directly impacted by the scumbag, as it was for the players so it seems not so much corporate bandaid fix or whatever

  • JodahCaster Jodah (@JodahCaster) reported

    Now that Overwatch is dead for a the day, can we fix TF2 for the day

  • Shinshando Shin (@Shinshando) reported

    @RedshellOW it will last untill people see that battlepass bound heroes will be a problem in a game like overwatch. even if you can buy the hero later, how much will the hero cost? In a few years, how expensive will the game cost to be competitive?

  • RavenKin12 Raven | Learning to draw arc (@RavenKin12) reported

    @GoodWitchClove Part of the problem is that Overwatch "2" isn't really a sequel. It's just DLC for Overwatch 1 that requires you to pay full new game price for it.

  • SinisterPixeLP Sinister Pixel 👾 #ENVTuber (@SinisterPixeLP) reported

    Kinda crazy that I've been playing Overwatch pretty consistently from day 1, but the predatory monetisation tactics for OW2 killed my hype so much that I didn't even bother to log in for the last day of OW1's live service

  • paperichie richie 🍏 (@paperichie) reported

    Damn overwatch 1 is gone huh I basically kinda regularly played it since beta. Pretty amazing how a "live service game" can just plummet your opinion on a game overtime. I'd be lying if I said I didn't enjoy the gameplay loop to this day. But Blizzard's focus on esports killed it

  • yatomatosoup tomato (@yatomatosoup) reported

    @Hyper_Goblin34 @0_val5 @OverwatchNaeri the real issue with this tweet is that i implies overwatch 1 junkrat isnt hot

  • thicc_onehere Aj (@thicc_onehere) reported

    @TashmerDavid @PlayOverwatch But the women on the overwatch team said they felt safe and never in danger and like family and said the guys were willing to walk out if the women weren't heard about their problems the only connection they had was the name McCree which was unnecessary but they still handled it

  • sawagster sarah! (@sawagster) reported

    the way they changed Jinx in Overwatch 2 got me thinking... i know that we're Over and i had to Watch you walk away... i don't wanna believe that it's 2 late to fix this... i know i changed and i Jinxed us... you probably don't even care.. whatever..

  • SUPERWINMASTER MASTER of the WIN (@SUPERWINMASTER) reported

    why is overwatch down. why is overwath broken.blizzard pls fix

  • viBzyOW Erno (@viBzyOW) reported

    @GetQuakedOn @PlayOverwatch I just miss og overwatch. like years 2017-2018. The old broken roadhog hook, release of doomfist you know all that cool stuff.

  • JG_Yeeticus JG Yeeticus (@JG_Yeeticus) reported

    A friend pointed out that I misspelled overwatch in the thumbnail. I'll have to fix that

  • rinjirenee Ringo, the Most Devious Bastard in neEW YAahk Cita (@rinjirenee) reported

    Maybe a branding issue. Could have become Overwatch: A Realm Reborn instead of posing it as a sequel? Now I'm just rambling.

  • TheBmoreGamer Ryan • Coffee King (@TheBmoreGamer) reported

    Someone people are saying goodbye to #Overwatch forever because of the whole phone number thing. Hopefully they fix it. #Overwatch2

  • Tommehlu The World Is Ugly (@Tommehlu) reported

    There would have been a part 2 if my old PC didn't crash. So many good clips, all better than the ones in this. Guess that means I'll have to wait for Overwatch 2

  • gaysmtra ْ (@gaysmtra) reported

    i dont wanna see winstons ugly face when i login into overwatch 2 tomorrow

  • You_Cant_Beat_D You can't beat D (🅖➕ Veteran) (@You_Cant_Beat_D) reported

    @AT1ST @dapurplesharpie I the next smash game was a free to play game, I wouldn't see an issue as long as it doesn't take too long. In games with huge rosters, it's extremely rare that you play everyone, even in overwatch I only play a few characters, so just unlocking the few I play with is fine.

  • truemanifxst manifestable (@truemanifxst) reported

    i hope this was a ploy to shut overwatch servers down for good. i hate all of you and i want better for y’all

  • Styrofoamfan Styro 🍊🫐 (@Styrofoamfan) reported

    @okshookie THAT'S MY PROBLEM WITH IT. Overwatch 1 was fun as ****, OW2 looks like asscheeks and a shell of what it used to be. I hope OW2 fails and they bring back the OG.

  • LeonitixandKnux 🎃Leonitix🎃 (@LeonitixandKnux) reported

    @OverwatchCaval I’m still having trouble to find my game keys/codes for contacting back to blizzard entertainment and I got my Overwatch physical game copy for the PS4. Can someone help me.

  • WingVui Spuki 🎃 (@WingVui) reported

    If ******* braindead stuck in 1416 Nintendo can keep Splatoon 1 still up somehow Blizzard could keep overwatch 1 around but blizzard has much MUCH bigger issues than this anyways

  • xashwickx xashwickx (@xashwickx) reported

    Whole town is having internet issues, but @breezeline says it's my router signal. If I miss the overwatch 2 launch I'm fighting someone

  • ddaniel_du ddaniel_du (@ddaniel_du) reported
