        And 7 years after the fact, how is your one time $40 purchase still paying to keep the servers running?

        I don’t like the monetary scheme that Blizzard settled on for OW2, I’m never paying $25 for a skin, but the $10 battle pass every 2 months is reasonable in my opinion.

        If that battle pass contained all of that season’s cosmetic content and followed a FOMOless scheme more similar to Halo MCC or Deep Rock Galactic, I think most people wouldn’t complain but clearly we have whales that are willing to dump stupid amounts of cash on singular skins.

          I love how you’re pretending that the exact business model Blizzard operated on successfully for 15 years doesn’t work.

          What do you even accomplished by white Knight ingredients for a big media company with a long history of shitty business practices?

      they ruined the game with false promises of PVE for the last 4 years and then released monetization and nothing else. they just released a shitty pve gamemode thats 15 bucks for like 3 missions i think which is a slap in the face

      What kind of attitude is this? You’re still being used by them as content for the paying users. I’d at least like to get dinner before i get forked.

        Huh?

        Nobody is forcing you to play overwatch 2. I am disappointed, because I loved the first year or so of OW1, but I fell off that game a long time ago.

        Like, if your date is insisting you make the beast with two backs before you head out to the Olive Garden? Just leave? Rather than sitting in their living room yelling about how you need at least four cheddar bay breadsticks before you choke down their breadstick.

          so youre saying if that wouldve happened you wouldnt leave a bad review due to the fact its a bad experience you would just leave?

          thats a crazy argument you just made and it’s even crazier that youre implying the other guy is being crazy. lots of mental gymnastics on this one

            Negative reviews are important. I never cared enough about overwatch because most of the things I didn’t like are things the rest of the playerbase did. But I have left my fair share of negative reviews on other games.

            So yeah. I just left. I also just left online Escape from Tarkov (SPTarkov is awesome though). If someone asks me for my opinion, I’ll give it. But I am not going to make wild ass claims about how they need to buy me dinner before I let them fuck me.

            But that is not what “review bombing” is (and I also think you replied to the wrong comment but whatever).

            Review bombing is the idea of encouraging everyone to get their hate on and spam one star reviews in an attempt to hurt a game. It is right up there with sending death and assault threats to cod developers over nerfing the AKM. It is stupidity and hate and mostly just makes people ignore you

            Whereas games that naturally get to “mostly negative” and the like? Those are incredibly valuable. When I see a cool steam game in my discovery queue during a sale or I hear that Nookrium played it, I check it out. And seeing the general trend of those reviews are incredibly useful in knowing if it is in a good place or not. Whereas just seeing a massive spike of reviews lets me know “Cool, all of these are worthless”

            On a small scale, people play this out as the idea of sitting in your date’s living room telling them they better get an uber xl or else you are going to give them a one star on the dating app. And on a large scale? This is like calling all your buddies to report this person’s tinder account because they are only 5’8 instead of 6 flat.

          What kind of analogy is that??? What the hell does banging your girlfriend before going to Olive Garden have to do with shitty OW2?

      Nothing is truly free, including this game. A fraction of the game is free, while the first one that many of us paid for is completely gone (which to me sounds like the grounds for a class action lawsuit but idk).
