    Thousands of hours in OW1. Stopped after playing one game of OW2 in a beta test though. One game was enough for me to uninstall 1 and kick the habit.

    Everything felt worse and they massacred my main. The game was a shell of what the original one was and I’m so bummed it replaced and erased the great game that once existed.

    Haven’t played or followed it since except for the dumb things actiblizz does with it that make the news.

    Nah, not really. If they ever come out with some good, story-based PVE that’s worth the price though in the future, I might take a second look. But not with the bait and switch they’re pulling right now.

    Yes. Tons. But you already knew the answer to that question. You should have phrased it “Does anyone else want to complain about Overwatch?” What validation are you looking for? Just uninstall if it makes you unhappy. GG EZ

    FYI they were ALWAYS going to charge for PVE. See: capitalism. It’s unfortunate and disappointing that it won’t be what they planned. But just like the overpriced skins, you dont have to buy if it’s not worth your money.

    I don’t mean to come across as toxic. The game itself has enough of that! But the rage bait articles, videos, and comments/posts of people acting like they’re in an abusive relationship they can’t escape are getting old.

    I am NOT defending the OW dev team or Blizzard. They’ve certainly earned their criticism.

    I stopped playing OW around 2018, but a friend of mine was really into well into this year with OW2.
    I’ve noticed they’ve stopped playing after the recent news about OW2 though.

      The same year i stopped playin, and i was playing since beta.
      I gave OW2 a try when it was launched last year and i like it still today even it’s not what it was promised to be, Lizzard should drop the “2” from the name.
