I don’t know a thing about Overwatch, I just think it’s weird when an ongoing live service game acts like it’s now its own sequel.

It's nearly been 24 hours since Overwatch 1 servers shut down. I am beginning to feel nauseous and I'm having trouble standing. It feels like the walls are collapsing on me, and there are still 21.5 hours hours until Overwatch 2. I really am losing hope, I might not make it...

@cthom1156 @Captain_Oligarr @JUNlPER Gamemodes, heroes, and maps are removed or changed beyond recognition. And none of this would be a problem except you can't play the version of the game you paid money for. I'm not a fan of Overwatch but I can see why people are pissed

@JoeCool_WiiU Splatoon is a peer to peer game. Its the reason why call of duty games from decades ago are still "up". Overwatch was a service game with dedicated servers. Not really viable to keep servers like that up forever. Not to mention that splatoons progress etc is all stored locally.

It really sucks to see #Overwatch's legacy take such a speedy nose dive. It was the game Amy and I played together a lot. We've played D&D games of it, card games of it. To see it crash and burn because Blizzard is a garbage company that makes garbage decisions...what a shame.

Overwatch's design fundamentally suffers from it's size 6 roster and Overwatch 2 making a roster size of 5 is just going to make the problems even more obvious Especially since pushes in overwatch basically require nobody on your team dies or else everything collapses

ngl i feel really sick about ow2 not just cause of overwatch changes by itself. but by the larger picture of another "complete" game dying and another live service battle pass garbage replacing it

@TheActMan_YT its the same game but with graphical enhancements, another live service model and character buffs/tweaks. its better than overwatch 1 in terms of flow and pace, if thats what you're really wondering.

@DeDuppio Is it me or has overwatch been completely out of touch with its fanbase and the internet ever since the blizzard allegations, like everything they’ve done afterwards seems to be them trying to fix their reputation and nothing has worked so far

@sparkie237 i mean of course i agree no game should shut down without releasing server tools i think its dumb to be mad at overwatch right now over this tho, like halo shutting its servers down sucks for sure

Has there been another live service game like Overwatch that's completely shut down as soon as its sequel is out? Or is this completely unique situation?

@martinaephy Starting August 16, every player with a linked console account will be prompted at login to identify, select, and confirm the accounts you want to merge. Once you approve, we will prepare your accounts to be merged during the release of Overwatch 2.

@StirFriedTofus Did ya figure it out? We have to create a whole new battlenet account, login into overwatch and then it gives us the code to link it. My account merged so hopefully I got the founders pack 😭

@CameraColossus It's actual insanity. I even remember early on when they were saying "Oh don't worry, if you don't upgrade to Overwatch 2 you can still play the PvP mode with no issues with Overwatch 2 players!" And here we are, Overwatch 1 deleted. Gone. With way too many core gameplay changes

@Khanigore I guess they shut those servers down in order to make way for overwatch 2 which I’ve heard it was going to be free to play with some kind of battle pass maybe I don’t know that’s what I’ve heard

@DomsPlaying Never fixed HotS and stopped support. WoW tokens and gold farming rampant. Warcraft 3 Reforged received horribly. D2R launched broken, console still broken and forums flooded with bots. Overwatch 2 makes little to no sense. Diablo Immortal built for money. The list goes on.

I haven't touched Overwatch in literal years at this point due to my friends i used to play it with also stopping and the obvious Blizzard/Activision Problems but there's definitely still some emotions there about OW1 shutting down. Obviously OW2 is taking it's place but still.
