Overwatch 2
If your main selling point of Overwatch 2 was a PvE mode with a lot of progression, but you end up canceling it just to add a lesser version of said PvE mode, that is locked behind a paywall, you deserve all the negative reviews you can get, even if that means that Blizzard is not likely to put their other games, like World of Warcraft, the Starcraft franchise and Heathrstone, on Steam which would be a shame.

But, I'm glad that I don't have to launch battlenet when I play Overwatch 2 via Steam - EA & Ubisoft could learn something from that!

Speaking of Ubisoft learning from another company, Blizzard managed to add Steam achievements to their game - something that Ubisoft is too stupid to manage after slowly putting their games back on Steam.

Porn carried Overwatch 1 when the content dried up and porn is going to carry Overwatch 2 as well because the artists care more about the game than the actual devs (except for the art-team, they rock). Overwatch 2 looks better than Overwatch 1, so there is that too I guess.

I've played Overwatch 1 and some Overwatch 2 over on bnet - it's probably still a somewhat decent game but the almost predatory microtransactions are worse than the lootboxes in Overwatch 1; yes it's free 2 play, yes the devs need to earn money to keep the game going but please be more creative than a battlepass (that used to not give you back any premium currency for the first two seasons!), locking new heroes behind a paywall and underwhelming PvE missions that leave a sour taste in your mouth when you think about what it could have been.

But hey, Bobby needs a new yacht so more microtransactions are expected to pop up soon!
