  • Lady_Redfield Claire J. Redfield (@Lady_Redfield) reported

    To say that the company's conduct and greed with this game are disgusting is an understatement that requires several dozen four-letter words to fix. But I think, for me, the worst part of it all is that a cool property like Overwatch, which could make great animated movies,

  • gorasaiko 🎃 spookyo. (@gorasaiko) reported

    I'm pretty sure we can all agree that the overwatch 2 monetizations system is pretty scummy but tbh it's not even the biggest problem the game has What I think the biggest problem in OW2 is the fact that there's no way for F2P to earn anything aside from maybe Twitch drops

    @AbraBonnie @oOkamiOo2 @OverwatchCaval It's Blizzard as a company one of Overwatch's most iconic heroes was literally named in the lawsuit. And no as long as people like you exist who lick the boot and tell others to do so in hopes of it getting better are just adding to the problem.

    @sleepy @paintbrush See this why we need loot boxes instead the in game currency stuff we need loot boxes I know that this gonna happen one day I know we are in Overwatch 2 but please just bring back the old loot boxes they were easy to gain and didn’t cause a lot of problems in the old Overwatch
