Rules:
- 1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
- 2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
- 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

Overwatch wasn't good either.
You're entitled to your opinion, but it was a very popular and well-loved game by many. O2? Not so much.
If overwatch was so good why didn't they make overwatch 2 good
Greed.
good games make more money than bad games so clearly you're wrong
Not really true. While there are lots of factors in how profitable a game is, the biggest one is marketing. Regardless of how good it is. Brand name recognition. Like any other industry. It's why games like CoD and Assassin's Creed are ridden the fuck to death despite continuously getting worse.
wrong
Hmm, you make a convincing argument...
another win for me :)
Because it was made as an excuse to fully transition to a f2p business model. It wasn't a game anyone was asking for and the only way they could get people to use it over the first one was by shutting the first one down. It was their way of pushing enshitification.
