@TheProg12811525 @IGN No problem. Just wanted to point it as many people often think that Overwatch is the first game to do it.

@luvyeta @harvv @overwatchleague I currently have 500 just need 100 more to either pick Flying ace Winston or Horaice Ana. Overwatch should give double credit for the launch for Overwatch 2. Everyone going so broken claiming the first round.

@Rispir1 @ByrdeBrains @BellularGaming Games became significantly more profitable when lootboxes were introduced over the previous "Season Pass" model. That is why they implemented the Lootboxes. There are ethical issues with Lootboxes, but their implementation into overwatch did not affect the integrity of the game.

@Giggavega @CHUMPS16575739 It's crazy man. My issue is my kid plays Overwatch for her Esports team. She may have to use my account to play. The system has its flaws and I don't think they are aware of it.

Phone verification for Overwatch 2 is fine. I feel like any online game where cheating or toxicity is a problem should require it. "What about the voice recording though?" it is really easy to not say the n word or hit on everything with a vagina i promise you

@Spessmen @DeltaIndex_ Well, 2 things. 1, it uses a far different engine than Overwatch, which means Overwatch's can be 1000 times easier to do. 2, remember that the customization is riddled with Technical Debt, and on a new Engine thats a bit difficult to fix.

I'm gonna be real with you Overwatch 2 is probably going to get itself killed. Its already digging its own grave with a very scummy live service model and requiring a ******* phone number to play is turning it up a notch <~<

getting refunded. Better than what Blizzard are doing to Overwatch users for sure and that us just one game. How much money did they lose running the service and now refunding all hardware and software?

all i know about overwatch 2 is that when it comes out i get to play an improved version of the game i’ve loved since 2016 for free and i fail to see a single problem with that

@GammaRBurst @PlayOverwatch Yeah that’s what I was referring too cause overwatch is the only game to not give coins back. It’s not my biggest problem cause I see value in the items but the shop is ridiculous. I’d be happy to spend loads on the game if they weren’t greedy with the prices.

@mechagirlaya I wanted Gundam Evolution to be fun but it definitely feels worse than even Overwatch 1. I don't like Overwatch however definitely feel it has better mechanics and a better pace than Gundam Evo. Mobility is such a big problem in Evo as it is.

@DoctorKimochi @Tathem29 A) That was one person, a union was literally formed to combat the problem and the Overwatch department apparently didn't even have a hand in that, stop going for that argument. B) you still didn't answer me. What is so wrong about it being monitored if nothing bad is being said

@EliasSv11177657 @gooodluckmode @PlayOverwatch You can, Blizzard just isn’t allowing prepaid numbers to qualify. I’ve had Cricket Wireless for years, and they serve me like a normal phone company. Phone service, unlimited data, and it’s paid monthly. But I can’t play Overwatch 2, because it’s Cricket Wireless.

Overwatch itself as a game is fine. It's the company, executives & poor choices Blizzard's made that's the problem. I could almost forgive the sloppiness of Overwatch 2 if O1 remained playable. For **** sakes, we payed for that damn game & now all that money is wasted.

@SideshowGaming Also it is absolutely weird seeing you complain about Riot trying to introduce the casual audience to the esport side considering the fact that you come from overwatch where that was absolutely an issue of why the esport didn’t succeed. Not sure you want valorant to go that way.

@SenpaiGamingYT @PlayOverwatch Yeah but everyone else is suffering the issue is putting this in 5 days before the release and half of the basic player base can not have access to overwatch 2 cause there's no work around for them best you can do is find someone you trust-

@PlayOverwatch Fix the issues with cricket wireless! It is not just smurf accounts! I've played for years and have bought the overwatch 2 founders pack for 40 bucks that I am being told I won't even be able to use!!

@QuartsClock Twitter is recording a lot about you. I don't see why recording your voice would be an issue unless if you're toxic. Like what secrets about yourself are you saying in Overwatch voice chat that you are scared would leak to the world?

@BlizzardCS I get it's to prevent cheating or hacking or whatever, but to players who don't have a post-paid number, this is kinda dumb. I've been playing Overwatch since the open beta when the game first came out and now I can't even play Overwatch 2 until this issue is resolved.

@ClaraTheAndroid I think it was something to do with the Overwatch 2 looking worse than the last one, and forcing people to use their phone numbers to sign in, and also datamining and recording all the chat... just nasty. Not that I was ever interested in the first overwatch either

@FenrirrWulf Overwatch. Even if there was a problem with the templates why do you need to delete the old ones?

@SkyeM68570363 That's the problem, it's not perfectly good. 1: Overwatch 1, a game we all payed for, will no longer be playable. 2: You're required to have a phone number to play, which basically means here comes the spam texts & potential spyware. And 3: Blizzard's awful reputations.

@DerkaSoup @darowl2404 @Jay3OW You are so hilariously deluded and wrong. Smurfing is a -huge- issue in Overwatch. A bronze account sells for significantly more than a Diamond account. Why do you think that is?
