microsoft is still under hot water for that
Budgets and dev cycles are on multiple month to years long schedules.
The MS acquisition is going to take a while to for their to actually be any change in quantity of content. If that’s even a factor.
As they might want to expand in other areas instead. Like MS already is paying for smaller scale games to be made by blizz. Like single player campaign sort of a deal.

Oh… A nickname lol uhh idk why I didn’t think of that
True, just saying that the problem with overwatch isn’t it’s hero release speed, since that also doesn’t necessarily translate to fun gameplay. There is a reason for the speed and I think it’s a fair tradeoff to have, though different people will prefer different things
They were casualties even if ABK was unharmed. Except for Toys for Bob going independent.
Arkane Austin, Alpha Dog Games & Tango Gameworks were closed down. Tango however was saved by Krafton.
The only reason they brought ABK is to ensure their gamepass stays alive.
Yeah the game is clunky and wonky as hell, its been worst when you look at Hawkeyes arrows hitbox, no wonder people are landing headshots so easily.
The game for sure needs some tunning and polish but its far from being unplayable, and most importantly, its really fun right now even if its not perfectly balanced gameplay wise
Anyone who thought this was fooling themselves. MS has a horrible track record with game studio management, which was pointed out by several people during the “MS will save OW” phase last year.

People are allowed to enjoy a new game and look past its flaws for a while. They did the same thing when overwatch was new
You act like its not fair that people are treating a new game like all new games are treated lol. You have repeated this many times now.
MR is being treated as a new game, shocker…
we’re not doing this again…i have never once denied or said people CANT look at it that way…but they ARE looking at it differently…its a simple acknowledgment of the situation at hand
which is why all this “which is better than which” discussion is dumb…theyre 2 things that are assessed very differently…
why thats such a big issue for you is beyond me

It must be on the writing then. The VAs they hired are really good. Many of them have an established history of voicing their characters in past media.

People are treating a new game like its a new game and you are biased toward Overwatch and dont want to switch.
Do you actually have a point though? Have you not seen toy story lol. They were both just toy dolls but get this, the new toy gets treated like a new toy and and old one gets treated like an old one. We dont need you to point this out every day.
Thats how it always works. You treated ow like a new toy when it was new to you too.
Small indie 's Blender licenses expired and they don’t have money to buy it again, that is why they have to outsource their models or only chance skin’s color in GIMP 
.
lmao who believed that? after seeing how microsoft ruined their own franchises and close studios. they only care for call of duty, sadly for them overwatch was part of the bundle
yup, they are…and youre very much misinterpreting me if you think im saying they cant do that…by all means go enjoy it
but im going to laugh and call it out (on here) for what it is when people then start talking about how OW should do this or do that instead…or when we do get the actually hypocritical/asinine takes you do see on here (like that video i was responding to above)…especially given its all arguments we’ve had on here many times already because we’ve already gone through all of this before
and thats exactly im doing…laughing at all of this…you seem to think im angry…on the contrary…i find all of this hilarious, watching history play out all over again…im enjoying the ridiculousness surrounding all of this just as much as people are enjoying MR…its pure comedy

Overwatch needs more butt poses to compete.
Its not ridiculous at all. Its natural to be hyped for a new game. You are just biased towards overwatch and dont want to switch. Dont be so hurt that people enjoy new things.
When ow was new to you, you were excited for a new game too. What is ridiculous is the way YOU are acting about this.
Dont act like you have never been excited for a new game or tired of an old game. There is nothing at all weird about this other than how you are acting.

Going back into Microsofts pocket after Blizzard decided it would be a wonderful idea to trash 4 years of development and implement a predatory shop as the only “new” content drop for Overwatch 2.
A return on investment, and its a damn shame.

… come on, you’re not serious. new game that obviously spams the first cool features vs a game that is 8 years old?
even ow2 almost only spammed new skins (uh, probably the ones they actually avoided releasing in ow1 because the “messiah” ow2 was supposed to arrive), then it slowed down.
MR is at the beginning, let’s always remember this. everything is new so everything is beautiful. but when it starts to be “normal”, will they know how to handle it? Overwatch obviously not, but Rivals… 
? give it time.
Easier and cheaper to recolour and charge full price then to pay an artist to create a whole new skin for the same return.

Marvel Rivals has over half a century of source material to pull from for its character designs, their work is already half done.
Overwatch heroes are all completely original designs, they may follow tropes but it takes much longer to create a character and kit from scratch then it does to pull a superhero with pre-existing story and lore out of a comic book.
