    Blizzard has not produced a good game since Overwatch 2

    I think you meant Overwatch. O2 seems universally hated. Rated “overwhelming negative” (17%) on Steam.

      Blizzard stopped making good games way before that.

          Pong was trash. Nothing has ever topped Tennis for Two.

      People only play Overwatch 2 because they deleted the vastly superior original so they could squeeze out more money.

        Christ I’d rather play Paladins than OW2 and Paladins is literally TEMU Fantasy Overwatch

        That game was good mostly because of the modders who made Wintermaul, DOTA, Sheep Tag, etc… The base game had dated graphics even on release.

          Very true, but only the fact that the game had such an incredible and easy to use map editor was the reason this was possible.

        You’re entitled to your opinion, but it was a very popular and well-loved game by many. O2? Not so much.

              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.

            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.
