Overwatch. A somewhat fun but seriously unbalanced game. It honestly paled in comparison to its' many competitors. But alas this is just more reason to leave the gaming industry behind. The fact you have to buy the sequel if you want to keep playing is honestly nothing short of theft.

The death of player hosted dedicated servers and its consequences have been a disaster for the FPS genre.

I mean hasn't that always happened since the start for internet based games I mean nothing can last forever.

Blizzard have stated you'll gain full access to Overwatch 2 if you already own the first Overwatch, so while what they're doing is still scummy, it's not quite as bad as you'd think.

They made two entire games based on those 3D SFM pornos? Wow that's so crazy. Will the sequel make me last only 30 seconds too? Or did they get finally get it down to 10 seconds?

There's a reason Battlefield 4 is still going strong all these years later. Feels like all the recent major/triple A FPS games have dropped the ball with match making, CoD being the worst imo with the removal of map voting and implementation of SSBM and disbanding lobbies.

I am not 100% familiar in the subject, but from what I understand, it it's just a big update for Overwatch branded as "Overwatch 2"? If so, are they removing any feature that would make this a downgrade? Knowing Blizzad, this would not be suprising.
