    Enough people have left Overwatch 2 that they’ve resorted to putting it on Steam. Perhaps it’s not happening on the timeline we would like, but people do seem to be tiring of live service nonsense.

      That decision is working out so well for them, too! It’s setting records!

        It hasn’t stopped the game from being in the top 25 most played on Steam though. And I’ll bet that number is disappointing to Blizzard too, but I’m going to guess a large number of those people leaving negative reviews are still playing the game, which doesn’t help.

            Eh, I don’t know about that. It’s free to play and huge in popular culture because tons of people played it.

              It’s huge in popular culture because of the source filmmaker porn. Certainly not the game itself.

                  Actually, you’re right. I take that back. I let my personal dislike for the game override my thought processes. There are plenty of people who like the game, as odd as I find that fact.
