    Oh, you mean the entire “reason they HAD to make overwatch 2”?

    And yes, I know that it was actually to get people to rebuy skins that they already had and heroes that they already had

      Smite 2 is to make you rebuy things

      OW2 was to make things harder to obtain without spending money

      They had already cancelled the campaign a long time ago, it really pissed off the HOTS community because the dev team was taken from that game to work on that

    Fta

    Work on the campaign missions was apparently held up in pursuit of a nebulous thing called “Blizzard Quality,” a term used to describe a standard the company aspires to.

    They haven’t had that in years. Wtf.

      Blizzard quality… Also known as generating the most money for the CEO and shareholders in recent years.

      They have not cared for their customers or employees in a long time.

    Overwatch 2 successfully made me stop caring about live service games. What is blizzard doing with all that money if it’s not going into the “blizzard polish”?

      According to some sites, millions of people play it every month.

        The only reliable statistics we have access to is Steam statistics, and the numbers aren’t looking great for Overwatch 2.

          I would agree it’s more reliable but I also would think the majority of players are still using battle.net.
