@SkillUpYT There wasn’t a lot “wrong” with Overwatch 1 except that the financial model made it impossible to justify continued improvements and a live service. OW2 fixes that, adds some content we’ve been begging for, and fixes some meta problems they couldn’t balance out by going 5v5.

FYI, I used to like and play Overwatch back in 2016. Although I don't like it anymore, knowing I can never go back to that game to relive some memories pains me. Games as a service everyone!

@joshua__fuller @ItsSomjuu I own a phone with service but it’s metro service not Verizon witch metro is prepaid and Verizon is postpaid overwatch only allows prepaid witch is more expensive. Remember to read properly and do your research before you say anything like what you said.

Do people not have the memory span to recall the broken promises of #Overwatch2? -It was supposed to be cross compatible with Overwatch 1. -The main USP was supposed to be PVE, but it isn’t even launching this year. So they are basically selling OW1 a second time to the simps? 🤔

@BlasterNation to be absolutely fair, the art now matches how they look in the actual game (aside from a few exceptions like junkrat). that being said, overwatch has always had a serious sameface problem.

@PaulTassi Genuine question: what happens if OW2 has some catastrophic problem(s) and now that OW1 is offline players loose their game for real? The lack of marketing on top of the shutdown of overwatch one is so odd

I have really sad and bad news for Fortnite and Overwatch players today… Overwatch 1 servers are shut down for good and Fortnite has been down for 10 hours due to a significant issue…

Biggest problem with Overwatch (which became its downfall) was the game becoming less and less about individual skill to help the team and more about rock paper scissors, trying to hard counter the other team's heroes. I hope the OW2 changes are gonna fix this.

@SkillUpYT The feeling i get is that overwatch 1 was «meant» to be a live service game but the genre had yet to solidify so they didn’t have the reward structures that get players hooked and make them recurrant spenders. OW2 is an excuse to cram in the **** they missed on by being too early

@timmy77779 @SunstrikeAsh @Nibellion The class updates the maps the new gamemodes including payload which overwatch ripped off The game def has problems now but thats because it's been around this long instead of having an embarrassing lack of content like overwatch

@HexbitsV2 @PaulTassi Sorry, it's just been tiring see the vitality of complete lies (not from you) against Overwatch 2 when there are real problems it genuinely could have but none of these people care about that because they won't actually play it.

I've witnessed the launch of multiple WoW expansions and Diablo 3 that I expect nothing but server lags and connection issues when Overwatch 2 servers go live later. Godspeed to those at Blizzard ready to hold the line.

@JUNlPER @suesmaus I mean, everything gets converted into Overwatch 2. It's free. It's more like an Update then a cancellation of the service

I'm a little disappointed with how much talk Overwatch 1 & 2 are getting. Like did people just not get ANY of the many memos that Blizzard is not a good company to support? Or did they just fix all their problems really, really quietly?

eh. i was forced by blizzard, 10 months ago to login to a Battle net account just o play overwatch 1 on xbox. so it wouldn't hurt to get an epic games account just to get the new ghostbusters game on pc.

like yeah, a game where you *can* host your own servers, living longer than a live-service game like Overwatch, of course thats gonna happen. but even *as* a live service game, it feels like a remarkably short lifespan

@theOGcanuck @YellingMadman On top of that the overwatch 2 beta dropped barely 2 years after service “ended” so people who say there’s no content to play with confuse me. Between arcade, qp, comp, coop modes, and creative with a 30+ character lineup and updates as recent as 2-3 months ago.
