Talks about false reporting, gets false reported. There’s no hope for this community.

I got you covered. Here’s a short video of the OP’s post.

If you want an even more concise version: “people back in 2016 who said that the devs suck were right”.

I don’t think it’s fair to blame Aaron, he’s literally just doing what the shareholders want; maximum monetization with minimal effort.

i dont think its the shareholders causing the game to go downhill like it is like when papa jeff was the director the game was in much better shape

Jeff was in charge right up until about OW2 became a thing; he essentially dipped out when he was forced to pretty much cancel PvE and focus on other things, and then the new guy took over to try and salvage the game that activision/blizzard leadership wanted them to make.

the leadership which was bobby was stupid like bobby pushed jeff over the edge with the fratboy culture honestly without jecf im surprised the gmae has lasted this long but this season is showing the game is pretty much dead

Look, everyone keeps saying the devs were under Bobby orders when they destroyed the game…look at season 10 and say that out loud in the mirror to see how it sounds. Bobby isn’t here now, is he? The game had a small hint of redemption in s9 and then it quickly became clear it’s just a mirage.

You mean adding back the things that they removed from OW1 and still not even half of them after 2 years?

oh, yeah. I almost forgot about that. Who is to blame now?

Tbh, the S9 balance was enough to snuff out the hint of redemption that came with it.

aaron is the director and hes pretty much just like bobby if jeff was to come back he would try to save the game he was the director for in the very beginning

Nah man Jeff is done with this BS and he’s living his life now, no chance he’s gonna jump into this mess. And tbh Jeff was not the game Jesus y’all think he was, he just had more passion for Overwatch and actually played it at a high level, understood it better than Jared or Aaron ever will.

TRUEEE

While we can acknowledge that the game dev industry is horrible due to the corporate ladders, and the painful top brass whose soul focus is on sucking us dry of our money and energy. We shouldn’t let it stop us from being able to notice or call out bad game devs, like the overwatch 2 ones.
I mean, it’s been over a year in which they’ve had countless opportunities to try and fix some of the core issues with the game, such as the causes of the low tank player base, the horrible counter-swapping issues, the lack of proper intra-role balancing, the high amount of hackers, etc (you get the point).
But nothing’s happened…
Besides the band-aids on open wounds.

Aaron Keller, obviously

If that sequel was everything it was claimed to be, OW2 would be a critical darling. We need to stop this foolish talk of “a video game could never have a PVE like this” because this stuff has been done decades before Overwatch 2 was a thing.

Why could Halo, Call of Duty, Star Wars Battlefront, and more games have an in depth PVE mode, and a PVP mode, too? What is wrong with blizzard that stops them from creating games like what we had in the early 2000s? If Blizzard can’t do something as simple as “conventional game design”, then the entire company should be shuttered.
