  • DJK1NG_Gaming DJK1NG_Gaming - Ayakashi Triangle 🔥! 🇭🇹 (@DJK1NG_Gaming) reported

    @SoldierDelta @Stealth40k @BenjiSales uh no did you forget that Crash remake almost never came to Switch. Activision was against it til a developer proved them wrong about porting it which later brought other Crash and Spyro remakes. Overwatch was really the only thing that went through. Activision has nothing else

  • SeekerTrinity Trinity(MTS) ENVtuber (@SeekerTrinity) reported

    -.- I think I need to be selective to a few games. I keep jumping around too much. So Mario kart, Oblivion and Overwatch is probably what I'll be playing for awhile. With uno slipping in. @.@ I have a problem.

  • thedoctor10D2 max (@thedoctor10D2) reported

    @alphaINTEL Mad it's gonna be her cause she was annoying af but u actually like if she was support as we need more healers apex has the same problem overwatch had but worse

  • JudaiMasters JuudaiMasters (@JudaiMasters) reported

    @XboxCult @kidsmoove @XboxP3 I'm not so sure. Overwatch 2 and Diablo IV sure as hell will be multiplatform since they already are announced as such. WoW, Starcraft, Warcraft are PC exclusive. Candy Crush is for phones. What exactly is Xbox getting out of this? Crash and Spyro?

    Been playing some overwatch to test my connection after my Internet crashed my stream anf I'm still getting lag spikes upto 250ms. So sadly due to this reason, i won't be streaming today. I'm so sorry I can't... i know I promised a stream and I wanted to, I just with my Internet-

  • heysxnsei 𝖌𝖔𝖙𝖍𝖎𝖈 𝚠𝚎𝚎𝚋 (@heysxnsei) reported

    there’s a bug on #Overwatch where the voice chat won’t work or the voice chat cuts out and it won’t fix unless you restart the game. @BlizzardCS

  • amzzz_06 Amy (@amzzz_06) reported

    COD is completely screwed at the moment so I'm not bothered about that, but it's Overwatch, Crash and Spyro I want to still be able to play 😔

  • Balelovski Balelovski (@Balelovski) reported

    @Dream_WaIker @XboxP3 COD wouldn't have died but it would've taken a big hit, something like Crash or Overwatch is huge on PS, but could bring a lot of people to Xbox and the hit on playerbase/sales wouldn't be as severe as COD. COD is in the same situation as MC, they gain more having it on PS.

  • Xzbit1200 Xzbit1200 (@Xzbit1200) reported from New Westminster, British Columbia

    Hey friends. I don't know why my licl is not that great right now but no stream today due to me feeling sick. I'm so sorry that this first week back to streaming has been plauged with problems. See you all on Monday around 12pm pst for more overwatch fun

  • specter_jinx Jinx (@specter_jinx) reported

    @Paxflash @IGN The company is not dog ****, it's call of duty and overwatch were talking about here, what is dog **** is the execs and management, bobby kotshit will resign and management is changing so problem solved, all that's left is to fix public perception

  • shawgab david (@shawgab) reported

    Accidentally invited someone to group instead of avoiding as teammate in Overwatch so I turned my PS4 off to avoid the issue

  • Mcharejoo Mahyar Charejoo (@Mcharejoo) reported

    @XboxP3 To hell with COD! How about Overwatch and Crash bandicoot?

  • KerbyYeen KerbyYeen (@KerbyYeen) reported

    @pl0000pl I mean, business wise, it would be an insanely dumb idea to make COD an Xbox exclusive. Spyro and Crash I could see, but with its legacy on PS, I would personally keep it on all platforms. Overwatch and Diablo, though? Yeah, I could see that happening.

  • AStillExists ▪︎Exists▪︎ (@AStillExists) reported

    @LuNaticBeaut I've been having some connection problems with Overwatch the past day or so, I'll let you know if It gets better <3

  • Didj1t Digit (@Didj1t) reported

    @thatmfidc @Jasonpeeepooo I think Overwatch has broken your brain

  • dxreaper120 DG (@dxreaper120) reported

    @ShanWinTheGod @GameSpot Because they don't see the bigger picture. They think they just acquired a single game but don't realize they also got Crash, Tony Hawk, Spyro, both warcraft and starcrft Overwatch, CoD and OW League pro and Amatuer, and COD alone brings in so much revenue just from microtrans

  • Justbizzness90 Justbizzzness_ (@Justbizzness90) reported

    @QuanHeiLong how is activision blizzard not a big money company? lmao. diablo,warcraft,cod? tonyhawk pro skater,crash,spyro,sekiro,overwatch. how many of these games dont you know?

  • TheShumaGorath Devourer God of the Eternal Ever-Was (@TheShumaGorath) reported

    @DestinLegarie This HORRIFICALLY undersells what MS has now with these buyouts. Doom, Fallout, Spyro, Crash, THPS, Diablo, Overwatch, Starcraft, WoW, Guitar Hero, and SO much more. I get what you're trying to say, but it feels like you're purposefully underselling this for some reason.

  • Studio384 Yannick (@Studio384) reported

    @BetoCastro2207 @avoblackfyre @DestinLegarie And from here on out, every CoD, every Crash, every Overwatch, every WoW, every <fill in any AB title> will be developed by a Microsoft studio, who also owns the relevant IPs. Where is your point?

  • KhaleesiBB Leesi 🌙 (@KhaleesiBB) reported

    kind of bummed that 3 years ago in Overwatch I could shotcall no problem as a girl & people actually seemed to enjoy someone doing that. Nowadays as soon as I talk ppl just seem to get rlly mean, makes me feel kind of sad. I guess back to no talking but I still love Overwatch

  • YorBrianna BriannaYor (@YorBrianna) reported

    @DFPsheikh My headspace here is this: I play Destiny because of the broken overpowered ****. Not because I need it but because it’s fun. If I wanted an esport experience I’d play Overwatch. This is how I want my fun I want cheesy, guilty pleasure, garbage.

  • ahaltacc Altahaccount (@ahaltacc) reported

    @MrBrakfast @iamalitayyeb Everything else on there is crap , diablo is an out of season april fools joke , overwatch is irrelevant , wow is for pc nerds . Crash and spyro are for kids

  • fibblewib Fibblewib (@fibblewib) reported

    @nextgensgamer @ModernWarzone Guitar hero Crash bandicoot Tony hawk (Some) call of duty games WoW Overwatch Spyro Let me guess, they're not "must play" because they've always been outside your comfort zone? You haven't tried them so they're bad? If you played variety you wouldn't need to ask.

  • kishiyo_ Kishiyo 👑 (@kishiyo_) reported

    mr microsoft pls fix overwatch

  • Team_Chevy86 Ty J. S (@Team_Chevy86) reported

    @Gamesager I think Overwatch comp had something similar but it turned out to not really be a big issue. The people who got placed higher than their actual skill level didn't stay there long. The game is still new I expect any problems to iron themselves out

  • BudgetArcade Budget Arcade podcast🎙️ (@BudgetArcade) reported

    Ok @Microsoft hear me out. Make @Warcraft paid service part of @XboxGamePass also Overwatch 2 free to play with cosmetics being the monetization. Just spitballing here.
