It feels like we've been in this endless feedback loop of negativity and depravation There's going to be some teething issues and it's not gonna be perfect, but if they can fulfill the promise of a live service game and take us back to the feeling of early Overwatch, I'm happy

@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.

genuinely have basically no problems with overwatch's revealed monetization model new heroes would obv be better totally free and right away in the battle pass, but. I mean. I play the game. I'll get them eventually. And the "gives us time to balance them" argument is fair.

@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?

@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.

@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

@PlayOverwatch Dont know why people are defending this. Yeah the game is free but Overwatch is different from other games. The problem with apex or r6 is the unlocking of characters. If a character is meta defining and you havent unlocked it then it would be just unfair for your team. Bad idea.

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

Im over the nonsense that goes on in game for apex & overwatch. both games have been out for many years and theres so many problems & so many things that are so bad for both games. I can't wait to go back to fighting games. I'm going to be a ******* demon in SF. thats a promise.

@blackeye500 @TheBemusedOwl @PlayOverwatch And as we all know most overwatch characters release completely broken and op so it’s pretty clearly pay 2 win

@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.

(@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.

(@Waniou) reported
@Custa This is my problem though. Half of why I've always had fun with Overwatch is screwing around on heroes I'm terrible at, just for the fun of it. I don't see how I can get that feeling of early Overwatch when there are heroes locked away.

(@xo_pinkishheart) reported
so more about the overwatch 2 battle pass has been explained, and while people seem relieved about some things, i also think that people are misunderstanding the actual issue. yes, it's good that new heroes are available on the free battle pass. that also wasn't the problem.

(@MrBLTs) reported
@Cjbrizzy @irrelevanterKek @YongYea never said all activision games. They alluded to all live service games like cod, overwatch, Diablo. Etc. Minecraft shows that multiplat is the strategy there. But everything else will be exclusive. It’s why MS and Sony buy studios. To make the non live service stuff exclusive

@confusionkys Overwatch contenders having a major problem vs the highest level of valorant competition having an arguably even more comical and stupid problem

@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.

(@paulsworkintwit) reported
my biggest concern is that as time goes on and overwatch gets more heroes, it'll be a harder sell to get my friends to play w/ me if they're missing a bunch of heroes, but that's a problem for a couple years down the road. at least in the short term it still seems p accessable

@PlayOverwatch overwatch 2 arrives free to play october 4 (at the cost of no good skins, stupidly broken ****, horrible battle passes, no co op)

@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

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

(@SpideyDCosplay) reported
Hey @PlayOverwatch can I get the Watchpoint pack without the base game for Overwatch 1? Why would this even be bundled since you’re ending the service. I already own it :( kind of a waste of money ya know

@joppsica NO WAY I can’t believe I just noticed lol ik this is another massive stereotype and has problems in itself but imagine if kiriko was yakuza lol actual plot implications overwatch dev team wouldn’t be ready to handle considering consistency is… not key…

@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

@YongYea Also not to mention that phill spencer stated multiple times that Activision games (crash, spyro, overwatch, tony hawk, etc) will still be on other platforms for a while after the buyout

@SuuBrainrot @unspeakableFOOL @DiabloTraeluzVT The Japanese samurai characters in Guilty Gear are a amputee Japanese woman with anger issues and a samurai vampire If this was Overwatch they would both "uwu get no *******" *** designs

(@xo_pinkishheart) reported
for example, if i play overwatch 2, i will have access to kiriko immediately. however, any new player will not be able to access her unless they play to unlock her BP tier, or they buy a premium BP. this is a problem.

@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."
