Blizzard speaks, forum rants about their incompetence. Blizzard doesn’t speak, forum begs them to speak.
Do you honestly ask this question to yourself every night? I think you might need a new hobby if you that consumed by what Blizzard does or doesn’t do.
No just tuesdays and thursdays, the patch days.
I think you might need a lesson on how to socialise with other people.
They cut the amount of work that went into this event and then got publicly slaughtered for choosing damage control over communicating a fair warning.
Irony. Doesn’t change the fact that you need a new hobby. Nor that your life literally revolves around what Blizzard does or doesn’t do. Whether they say or don’t say something doesn’t matter to any normal functioning person.
At this point I’m fully convinced that we’re no longer the target audience for Overwatch. Hence why we don’t really get any communication from the devs.
Blizzard most likely considers us their “dedicated/hardcore OW player base,” and for that reason they figure we won’t go anywhere. Regardless of how long it takes for the sequel to come out, we’ll still be around to experience it.
Now once they usher in new Overwatch players, whether they’re attracted to the PvP or PvE aspect of OW2; that’s when the devs will most likely restart regular communications within the community.
This is the only logical explanation that I could come up with that could potentially explain why we haven’t had a new dev update, in about 7 months now.
Pretty wild that it has been so long.
Apparently saying “There will be no news about OW2 this quarter/month/week” means…
Im love to simp for Blizzard as much as the next guy, but this is too much. Just tell us we arent getting info, and the community wont whip itself into another hype-disappointment cycle.
I get they don’t wanna stick to release dates before they know. But it annoys me so much to speculate on experimental cards. They’re all we get and I remember the week after week let downs of September.
We have been crying out for content for so long now but thing that finally showed me not to expect anything from blizzard anymore was when they hyped up a ‘huge announcement’ for overwatch and then it turned out it was coming to the Switch.
Lack of transparency? Don’t you mean lack of ANYTHING 
Unfortunately this game will become the go meme of how to not manage a game post-launch (if it has not already 
).
They have a dumb metric called keeping them hyped, they want you to be in that state.
As someone who plays all of their games and has done so for roughly 18 years, I am used to this but it is frustrating too.
I do not mind theorizing things but only some things. Not everything. Why do I have to guess when this worthless experimental will happen? I don’t mind theorizing on potential new heroes for OW2 though.
Blizzard as a whole is the worst at communication for basically all of their games. Sure Diablo 4 has gotten “constant” quarterly updates. But those updates give no real idea as to how finished the game is or not, it just gives a vague idea for what might happen for the launch. OW2 obviously gets nothing like this and it’s so weird. Why is it under the same company that all teams are not required to just make these quarterly updates? I will never get it.
I would add to that accountability, auditability and approachability.
They don’t take ownership of their mistakes and shortcomings (account).
They’re not public about any of their rationale, design philosophy (transparent), and there is no way to score them (audit) or even access a way to help them improve (approach).
They think they’re good but they’re really not. People gud stand by their work enough to make it public and open to critique and crowdsourced improvement.
You think telling people they don’t get any info will not start another hype-disappointment cycle?! You think people will suddenly be reasonable and understanding?
It is almost like an addition to some, literally, they are literally chasing a dopamine rush. If you tell them there won’t be one anytime soon they will create one themselves, that is what happens here over and over again. The hype-disappointment cycles are completely self-induced.
I dislike the lack of content more than their shyness, actually.
You’ll get no details and you’ll like it!
They created Private Profiles, refuse to add Scoreboards and barely got Replays 3 years after the game’s creation … are you surprised?
With that being said, Devs are more communicative in OW than in other games Ive seen and played so yeah, we got spoiled and now they took the cookie back.
B-b-but the streamers said that content is coming soon! That’s sort of like content, right?
I actually cannot think of a live service game I play with developers who communicate less. No idea what you are playing, but you need to upgrade, fam.
IDK what you are playing buddy or how old you are but no, they dont do videos themselves announcing patches (like the OW team used to with Jeff). Like not at all.
If we go to older games, even less.
And I play(ed) Apex, Destiny2, Valorant, CSGO and MMOs like WoW, GW2, Lost Ark and New World for a bit so yeah, my claim stays.
I think the saddest part of this is the fact that many people grasp onto the smallest piece of information - a rumor, a few words on a forum.
It’s upsetting that the most minor details are the biggest stories every month. People are essentially having to grasp at straws.
