Here’s a couple things I’d like to point out, pvp players have always only wanted a couple things.
Consistent updates. And balance changes. And we’re getting both of them with OW2.
That alone makes OW2 an amazing game and we love it. The reason I’m using the term “pvp players” is because most of us have always preffered Blizzard focus more on the actual game they made than the pve aspect.
What they should’ve always done was hire different devs to work on pve but Activision didn’t want to spend more money for that.
What they did to pve and how they lied about it was disgusting and they deserve to not be forgiven for it.
However I’d like to point out just because the pve was cancelled and just because a lot of people might’ve quit over it and just because there’s a lot of negative steam reviews, it doesn’t mean that OW2 is a failure.
OW2 is a live feature game that’s getting updates, negative steam reviews from people that have mostly quit is not representative of the current playerbase and how popular the game is.

What? We get one or two balance patches per season, and those barely change anything and everything feels the same or even worse because the devs dont know what they are doing.
Oh, yeah, we get some maps and new heroes too, but I guess I forgot because they’ve all been so… Bland…

That’s just their update schedule, consistent doesn’t mean frequent.

Dont try to reason with a forum of angry people. Dont do it! It will not get the effect you want. You cant argue with logic when feelings are involved. Just enjoy the game and hope that the hate moves on. People are still mad that PvE was canceled. Just let them be angry.
The steam reviews are also more reviewing blizzard than OW2.

It may not be “failing” but it certainly isn’t thriving.

I would assume it’s one of the most popular online pvp games on the market right now and therefore doing pretty good.

Population doesn’t mean successful. Maybe income-wise for the company; in general the game is not doing well.
I don’t consider that a particularly safe assumption personally, but you do you.
I will do me, considering the market right now it’s a safe assumption.
I’m not sure what you said makes sense, if a game has a large population it’s doing well

If you don’t understand how profiting work, then you don’t make sense. Overwatch 1 was popular; it was considered to be doing back due to lack of profit.
I can’t say whether the OW2 is failing or not, but Invasion story missions sure feels like huge disappointment.
You’re talking about the financial report?
Lack of profit compared to what? 1?
It’s certainly a better indicator than the random thoughts in your head.
Random based on what? if I supply reasoning that doesn’t make it random.
I don’t think the negative rating even represents Overwatch. Players are no longer satisfied with Blizzard. And players are now showing that on Steam.
I mean, that’s a theory. You’re stating everything you mentioned as if your commentary is settled fact. There’s nothing wrong with your theory, but it’s nothing more than a theory unless you have facts to back it up.
I can see the strong likelihood of Steam reviews being influenced by people who quit over PVE, but I don’t see much evidence of a happy current playerbase that you claim exists.
It actually means that the bubble of thinking that only these forums are negative towards the game burst.
So yeah it kinda depicts a failure.
