If you have a low budget bag and you upgrade the bag to an designer bag, it dosnt matter for people that see the new, shiny bag because the moment they open it and look inside they see that the bag is filled with poop. And if the devs try to clean the bag but keep adding more poop to it then new customers dont want to continue using the bag unless they are fine with being served poop.
In other words players that that are happy and content with mediocrity.
“next gen version of the game” means nothing when all you can offer is a game that looks like one but dosnt feel like it. I cant talk about anything other then PC so upgrades for console sounds good to me but if they wanted to they could have done it in OW1 as well im pretty sure. The new sound design is good I agree but aside from that the old graphics WOULD have been fine, its a nice touch but nobody plays the game for “the new character models”.
I agree the game feels much sharper especially when you play Tank and get counter swapped by the entire enemy team the entire round and stunlocked to hell, which is caused by the design of the game. Blame the game not the players.
And yeah those are all nice things but they dont matter because those are not what keep players.
