them lowering the price defiantly doesnât help, but I donât think its going F2P.
If they go F2P, Iâd still make it so that Competitive requires a purchase of the game.
However allow free play in QuickPlay and Arcade.

It doesnât have to kill the game if they do it right. For Comp, there are a couple measures you could take. One I like is phone verification.
I was against it too at first but honestly, I donât think it would neccesarily kill the game. OWâs biggest competitors right now are f2p. I really wouldnât be surprised if it happened at some point.

Didnât Jeff say they had no current plans to do so? What is the point of this post now?
From WyomingMystâs initial post about the livestream. Link to video in post.
In a recent streamerâs interview, it has been mentioned that permanent âFree-to-playâ is not in the foreseeable future.

Name a game that became unpopular when it went f2p
A lot of F2P games commonly either require you to purchase a âcompetitive passâ (which is essentially purchasing the game) and/or also require SMS validation for any account that plays competitive.
It would kill the game for us lot, the people still here after almost 3 years but it would open it up for many other players, without f2p owl will probably kill ow anyway.
It wonât kill it⌠it will be just an official confirmation that it is already dead.
I can see the game spike in player count if it hits F2P since some people would check it out. As well the increase in smurf, troll, boost and cheat accounts since itâs possible to have multiple accounts to a F2P game. Only issue is seeing that raise of player numbers decreasing overtime since they probably wouldnât be interested with the game as the whole. Furthermore, any veteran players that purchase the game would mostly complain about the increase of trolls or smurfs in certain games causing issues in competitive mode. Plus it can be easy for a banned player to switch over to another account and not have to buy another copy of the game (or online subscription service if theyâre console). F2P has some benefits of getting friends who havenât owned the game yet or those who donât spend much on games, but it has some cons to consider about.
noo
yeah, all those dead f2p games like forknife, dopa2, lift of ledges
You cant mention them here or what? Dont get it
What, my post was automatically edited by system? Why?
Whats up with these ââeverythingââ will kill Overwatch threads recently?
Theyre not gonna make it f2p like Jeff already said in his recent interview.
We already have f2p weekends so that should be enough for peopleâŚ
I can think of a couple, but they werenât popular when they were paid, and remained unpopular.
not gonna happen anytime soon, (if it actually does) so you can relax âŚ
