They did back in the Mercy rework days lol. Threads either got dumped into the mega threads or just outright deleted.
And honestly, until yesterday, I would say that was Blizzard’s biggest goofup. This one is even more colossal.

They are also sending people on forum vacations for calling them out on it. Too bad for them, the floodgates are already opened and they cannot ignore feedback on their incompetence.
Scummy behavior from a scummy company. Anyone who works for Blizz should be ashamed of themselves.

Short term gains at the cost of long term reputation. It will catch up to them eventually if it isn’t already. If they had the same reputation as they did in 2006 then they would be doing much better than they are now. And if they continue on this downward trajectory they will be doing even worse 5-10 years from now.
Unless of course being bought by Microsoft can turn them around.

Don’t be mad when nothing actually happens going forward then….something which a lot of people are doing right now
The further advancement of the game is not actually part of the agreement

I just saw the roadmap…
yeah yeah pve was supposed to come and it didn’t but I’m fairly sure the rest of those things will happen.
That’s absolutely extreme and you know it.
Not everyone that works for blizzard is scum.
Some are just trying to keep a roof over their head and food on the table.

I am not really concerned with not offending the “good” and “innocent” people who work for a thieving lying company, sorry not sorry.
Patience, good will, kindness, all of that has been spent.
Feel free to be bothered by it.
They are ALL scum.

I’m not angry, but I think most angry people won’t do that. I’m still going to buy BP. I’m in it for PVP. Feel bad for those let down though.
This isn’t their “come to Jesus moment” until there’s a significant and public hit to their bottom line.
Until you see their stock degrade, and sale numbers fall a-la Anheuser-Busch, then it’s nothing more than the usual vocal drivel. This has the potential to be a huge moment for us and them, but it’s likely not going to happen.

I think that things like this you described, could be done on daily basis. They are like lazy turtles went on the beach and can’t reach the water anymore. Hopefully now something will change as human resources are freed from this PVE bull crap.

Ol macdonald had a farm
Never spend money on empty promises. Only buy stuff if you’re okay with the value they provide at the time of purchase.
Most of the improvements are in areas nobody asked for.
The new control options are things most players won’t even touch.
The new PvP formula is a hot mess because of major hero imbalances, game modes players routinely vilify, and the still controversial 5v5. Let’s not even begin with the matchmaker.
Blizz is fixing things in the wrong places, and going wrong in the things players want fixed.

Speak for yourself I think they’re great changes and additions and actually will really change the way I play Reinhardt for example…
Aye, sad truth of the gaming industry at large.
Everything is extremely lazy, uninspired, and corporate. And it’s getting worse.

I stopped paying for stuff after the second battle pass.
This game isn’t engaging enough to me to warrant completing it, I think that second battle pass I completed like, 18 levels, so if they are wanting me to stop spending because they can’t try something new for once to keep my interest, they succeeded.
New heroes do not matter to me anymore and neither do skins, weapon charms, etc, it all feels like a waste of resources and more visual clutter to a already visually cluttered game, none of that crap is going to make me spend money on the game anymore, I just want a new experience out of Overwatch and they pretty much killed that, so there isn’t much to be excited about in Overwatch anymore, atleast to me.
ok ill make the counter arugument a have a ton of friends that didn’t like the swap from 5v5 that are doing 0 social media (redit\forums) ect the only reason that they played ow2 was the hero mission because they actively hated the new direction of the game they stoped playing at the end of season2 and now that they got the news of it geting cancel they are pissed that they even waisted time on the franchise
So in shorts there more ppl that don’t do socials are not vocal whatsoever that are not playing this game because of bad didsitions this is the nail of the coffin you can cope all you want but in truth this game is bad on all level and pushed a majority of its player base away

True, people are being farmed and scammed and they are making excuses to defend the big corporation.
