With the removal of story hero missions and hero trees, and now any future PVE content as of March 22 2024, what was the point of not updating Overwatch 1 for nearly 3-4 years?
So, taking into account OW2 in general, we’ve basically gotten our free, earnable skins taken away, 6v6 reduced to 5v5, several elements of little things that gave OW1 its charm (On fire meter, borders, voting at the end, LFG, general chat, etc.), ….all removed.
And what did we gain? A battle pass (One that doesn’t even give you coins to buy the next one that most f2p models use), old and new skins slapped with a 20$ price tag, and the blatantly obvious monetized events.
What a disappointment. This is such a waste.

The worst part is that we lost OW1 in the process.

pretty much its a transformation of what how the market is now with their competitors. im surprised it took them that long. probably because they calculated they could make a profit with this game too and not just call of duty. although I AM SURE call of duty is their bread basket. dont know how people can spend money on that game. to me its so boring

Yea… it feels like a big insult to those that waited for ow2… to just be a bad pvp revamp and to neuter pve… why make it a sequel its barely like overwatch 1 in the first place.

Overpromised 2, I guess it’s my fault for trusting a developer.

Overwatch should have been thought of as a live service game from day one. If it were, they never would have paused updates. It sucks that it took them so long to figure it out, but what’s done is done.

Someone at Blizzard needs to go down for this, for all the lies.

Yeah it’s not just a monetization update. It’s deletion of the actual good game OW1, and downgrade to an inferior product with monetization on that.
If they had just kept OW1 and tossed their monetization model on that, the game would be in much much better standing.

I use to until I remembered that the game is made every year and none of the skins I buy will be in the next one and I’m not playing warzone ever so. They got the money out of me with Cold War but never again

Blizzard and related names really just can’t do anything right, huh?

People will never learn……
For the umpteenth time on here
The monetization model they have gone with (otherwise known as f2p) has absolutely ZERO to do with the amount of content the game receives….that is how they sell you on the idea….reality is it just exists to make more money….that’s literally all they care about when you go this route
And now you’re seeing (yet again) the end results of this….
Congratulations to everybody who wanted (and continues to enable) them to go this route
