when I saw youtube videos around it, everyone claimed it was a flop/bad game. I am assuming it's a good game that's why people are playing it :)

It was sold on the promise of single player content that was cancelled and you know gamers don’t speak with their wallets

Otherwise we wouldn’t see micro transactions generating billions on yearly basis from games which cost full price

[blackblades]

Most players play for what it is not some single player mode. Which wouldve been fine but I dont care for that for this game. Its all about PvP for the ones that play it. Also its free to play so.....

[Epicor]

It was "sold" on the promise of single player content? No, it didn't sell any on that promise. No one buys skins and PVP battle passes because of upcoming PVE content in the future. The sequel was announced with PVE excuse, yes. OW2 generates shit ton of money because it's genuinely a good game and people buy cosmetics.

[blackblades]

Its a fun game and yes people here and Twitter always bad talk the game as well as saying the game is dying. I play it but its been awhile but when I do its fun and I alway get disagreed to hell for enjoying a game and having a good time. People just hate live service games and gatcha and think 100million+ other people think the same way as they do.

It is a trash game but just like Sport Games, COD and Apple fans, they can be fed turd and rejoice still.
Blizzard has such a fanbase that they can make millions with barely any effort

[ChasterMies]

Overwatch 2 is still a flop/bad game but that never stopped the gaming audience from dropping dollars.

[Tacoboto]

Ah so that's why Blizzard employees got fired, *only* beating expectations by 130%.

This happens in every merger.

[slate91]

Impossible, internet told me this was dead

[LastAvenger]

That much money yet nobody can keep their job?

[babadivad]

Redundancies after a merger

[-Foxtrot]

Amazes me that people will call out Activision Blizzards awful practices and treatment of staff but will play the game still, especially after they cancelled the story mission stuff you know tricking us into buying the sequel to justify putting number 2 at the end of it.

[blackblades]

Buying?

[-Foxtrot]

I meant playing, silly me

[Epicor]

I guess people want to play good games regardless of companies behind them.

[-Foxtrot]

It’s not good though so…

[Epicor]

It is objectively good game though. I guess some people just want to echo the sheep sentiment. I encourage you to actually try the games you have so many opinions on instead of spending all of your time on N4G.

[vTuro24]

I miss Overwatch.

[Epicor]

Go play!

[ChasterMies]

Can’t. Blizzard shut it down and forced an update to Overwatch 2.

[vTuro24]

I would if Blizzard hadn't shut it down and replaced it with a pile of shit.

One of the greatest fps games ever created.
(Disclaimer: In my opinion.)
I really enjoy playing this series, enjoy the lore, enjoy the comics and everything else about it.
Even have some figurines and plushies for my game room.
I'm glad this series continues to do well.

[CantThinkOfAUsername]

Do you enjoy the... ahem... fan videos as well?

[babadivad]

I know a chick obsessed with this game. From all the talk, you would think this game was a colossal failure.
