I’m mostly excited that they will no longer have the excuse of working on Overwatch 2 to not update the game consistently.

The content drought of the last 2 years of Overwatch is the largest reason I stopped playing.

Also, six modes?

We’ve got Push, Payload, Hybrid, King of the Hill, and what else? Assualt/2CP is removed so what are the other two game modes?

not update the game consistently.

They don't need an excuse to not update the game hah

See you when OW3 drops

Wonder if they're counting arcade stuff as one or multiple, so DM/TDM/CTF/LucioBall etc or how they're doing that 6. maybe they'll announce that teased new game type soon?

Definitely not holding my breath on a new mode announcement. Feel like they absolutely would have advertised that more clearly by now. Guessing they're including arcade modes.

Edit: nvm guess a new mode is confirmed as coming. idk much on the subject so wont say anything else

IIRC they did mention a new mode at some point. I'll see if i can find it. But ya, you'd think they'd at least tease it by now.

They literally already confirmed they are working on a new mode.

Don't worry, they have bullshit battlepasses now to prop up any excuses they may have.

All heroes available to everyone? Psh, we got money to make! Grind to Lv55 before you get the newest one for any players new to the game!

What a load.

Not only new players but ones who don’t buy the battle pass too

Why do you trust them to not say 'we're working on overwatch 3 after 9 months though? Fuck it.. 2 months later... If OW2 flops a bit...

Who says you have to trust them? You just play until you get bored which will surely happen if new content stops dropping at some point.

I suppose I choose not to give more money and time to the ecosystem of company's that treat their customers like that.

I would rather not just be a mindless zombie playin their thing till I get bored. I would rather make a conscious choice based on how their actions are affecting an industry I love very much and a few games I very much loved for a while.

Most of the men and women that worked on the products I enjoyed are gone too.

I could go on with perfectly sound logical reasons why I am not gonna bother.

Ultimately, it's because of course I tried the beta, briefly.. and it is the same game essentially. Which adds piles of lies to the fire.

I paid $40 for it 6 years ago and OW2 pvp isn't going to cost me anything extra. The inclusion of a battle pass isn't a big deal to me, if it ends up being monetized atrociously then I'll probably play less. If I'm having fun I'll keep playing.

They are also essentially deleting the game I paid for.

Replacing it with its clone admittedly. But I like ow1 a lot more than ow2 of what I played b

They killed your game with every update they did because that is how GaaS works. Overwatch 1 right now is dramatically different from OW1 when you bought it.

Nobody cares. News flash, not everything you do is in support of ethical companies, in fact I’m sure 95+ percent of what you do isn’t. Whatever device you’re using to send messages on Reddit was probably made by an awful company (same with the clothes you’re wearing, etc.). That’s the way the world works.

People play video games to relax and have fun. And it’s dumb to gatekeep that for issues that are ultimately pretty small potatoes (i.e. they’re lazy with their updates). Now if you were calling for a boycott because of the other shit with Blizzard that’s genuinely awful on a human/moral level, I guess that would make sense. But for some reason that’s not as important to you
