Amazing video! Well made, grats on the views. looking forward to the next one

oh my god, thank you so much! this means more to me than you can imagine

​@@silvamlonwhat if i donate 500

Was it really a surprise when it failed?@@silvamlon

People seem to forget another lie, Blizzard said: "Overwatch 1 and Overwatch 2 players can play together"

Thanks fot reminding me I had completely forgotten that part 🤡💀

Exactly, the heck is that suppose to mean? They literally shut down and remove Overwatch 1.

That’s technically true… the ow1 players can play with the ow2 players on ow2. They get an account on ow2. Isn’t that what that originally meant?

@@anananananananananananananana If I remember correctly, this was announced pretty early on, and they clearly implied at the time that OW2 and OW would be two different things but that they would share servers so that people playing on OW2 could still play we the players that stayed on OW.

@@Zack_Zanderit used to be OW2 is PVE OW is PVP

The fact that their excuse was "It was taking too long and didn't meet our standards" is literally the same as saying "We are too lazy to keep developping our game, so we decided to come out with a smaller PvE, yea see ya in a few months when we add a new season"

If it doesn't meet your standards.... Then make it better. If it's taking time.... Then it's the time needed to make it. You don't make something faster than is needed to make it. They're just lazy and greedy. The fact that on launch the store has no bugs and function perfectly.... when on launch you also physically couldn't get into a lobby, some heroes had to be disabled due to bugs, and you got locked inside maps after a match so you had to alt f4 and relaunch your whole game to fix it...... Yeah it's just greed and laziness.

@@soulsearcher9620 I guess it's just bobby kotick saying "why the hell do we need 3 years for a pve people will buy once, while we can just add a battlepass in 5 minutes that people will need to buy monthly ? remove that sh*t"

@@soulsearcher9620 Also, I think if covid didn't exist they would have "the time" to develop everything in time and maybe it wouldn't have been delayed

goofy ahh people 💀 its just a game lil bro

@@mika-yy7gk what if it’s a game you spent 1000h on ?

The worst part about failures like this is the knowing part, knowing just how much money they have and how many resources and how talented of a workforce they have and literally do NOTHING with it

Exactly. It's so sad comparing it to Riot Games who do tons of things like e-sports, music, cinematic and a whole ass series which aren't profitable at all. (I do hope Arcane filled their pockets tho lmao) They do all those things because they care about the game and want to keep it alive. They could have easily sat on their money but they just don't do that.

The biggest spit in the face was taking Overwatch 1 offline. Even though they had pretty much abandoned it in the last couple years of its lifetime I was having so much fun playing it with my brother. We loved playing it together and would play every week. We haven't touched overwatch 2 in almost 5 months now, and frankly I don't see any reason to ever return

You both should tries SCP sl

They had to take down OW1 because it's the same game. They had to take down to push the idea that OW2 supposedly was a new thing.

Wait, so, question: if you owned OVW1 on a disc or something, is it just like a sad singleplayer(?) game with no multiplayer support now?

@@jackaxed It was never possible to play offline, you had to connect to the server before playing the game. Overwatch 1 doesn't exist anymore, it received a patch and was updated to OW2. So if you owned it, or had installed, the first thing it'll do when you connect to the server will be downloading a big update patch that will transform it into OW2.

​@@jackaxedoverwatch 1 was just overwritten with overwatch 2. Everyone who had the disk version would just be forced to update it and all the original data on the disk was written over with new data. So there is literally NO way to play the original game (as of right now). There are no torrents available, no OG hardcopies being sold on Ebay for $500, no untouched accounts that "weren't updated yet". Nothing. It is 100% impossible to play OW1. Someone would have to illegally create the game from scratch in order to "get the game back".

Everyone had all the redflags before the game even launched. Right before it was given a launch date Jeff jumped ship, a month before the actual launch the lead producer also jumped ship. Month into launch the lead character designer quit etc. Reality was ATVI suffered a huge stock crash with all the lawsuits/strikes and controversies. They were rushing literally everything they had out to launch in order to pad up the P/E ratio and stock value for the eventual MSFT buyout. They didn't care about the longevity of those titles anymore just quick gains to keep them afloat.

Devs in the past "how can we make this fun?" Devs today "how can we make money off of this?"

Devs in the early 80s: how can we milk this? Video game industry: *crashes*

​@@cyanidenightshade Ah yes, *shovelware.* Atari 2600 has it... Both "I Want My Mommy" and also the porn games probably qualify.

Tbh, its mostly the investors that want short term profits, most devs are paid standard wages and dont gain anything from making the game p2w anyways

it’s always been about the money.

It's really sad, this game holds a huge place in my heart and it hurts seeing it get milked to death and shoved aside.

well, atleast now there is a huge open space for a new class based shooter to come around, so that could be fun, I hope you liked the vid!

welcome to what destiny has been experiencing for a long time, it isnt fun i agree.

@@silvamlon I did like the vid, it is just a sad reality tho that most of gaming is heading towards this model of infinite micro transactions and laziness. Which will probably make gaming go to its lowest point ever outside of indie games. Along with possible big companies dying out once everyone realizes it isn't worth to play those games. Come here to play games for fun, lots of games from triple a companies don't understand that all the way anymore XD

Blizzard practically ruined all their games entirely so dont feel bad thats their motto lol

Same. Will never forget the fun i had even if it was furious at times but the feeling of energy and adrenalin flow was always guaranteed. Now my adrenalin rushes only when i see everything locked behind battlepass. No price is justified if it was previously free and part of the core gameplay.

I would make a tf2 2 joke, but after watching this I feel it’s not right. This community has been through a lot and I respect that. Amazing video.

That is the spirit you magnifcent bilbobagts

Yea im from tf2 community, and after seeing this, im so confused and mad at the same time by Blizzard's action, unlike valve, who abandon the game and let the community keep tf2 alive to these day is still better than Developers destroy their own game

*Soldier hearing about the death of OW*: "You were loud and ugly, and now you're DEAD! Amen."

​​@@alphayakee2693fr tho, that's what I've been thinking the devs abandoning their game is a better move rather than them killing their own game (I'm not saying valve leaving tf2 is a great idea but ye get what I'm sayin)

as a tf2 fan we shouldnt make fun of overwatch being treated like this. it could happen to us too

In the words of a wise man “if you give money to blizzard you deserve a bad game”

Yeah people act surprised but that's exactly how blizzard underdelivered for years in world of warcraft. Old blizzard is dead.

the fact anyone trusted blizzard to do overwatch 2 right baffles me when world of warcraft had both bfa and shadowlands right before overwatch 2 came out, and we all know how those expansions did.

I really miss this game man. Super nostalgic about this game still, its wild. Just so sad to see an amazing game fall so, so hard. 2016-2019 era of OW was some of the best times in my gaming life with so many friends, duos, and a collegiate team. Goodbye Overwatch, burn!

I remember hearing that the pvp was gonna release before the pve and immediately realized that pve will never happen. That they were just gonna hype people up and then not deliver. Like they’ve done countless times before, I still don’t know how people keep falling for it

Me too! But for me its not a 100% feel, but War3 reforged gave me a bad feeling about it

It still hits me with a wave of sadness and anger and disappointment everytime I see the blizzard stream where they announce the PVE's cancellation

As a Team Fortress 2 Player, it’s nice to see both communities come together to dump on blizzard. It’s heartwarming

This is like starting a TF2 taunt and everyone joins in lol

We are all collectively kazotsky kicking ontop of its grave

I read heartwarming in Spy's voice lol

@@gravitygames4495 hong gong hong

Nice video, great editing, SUPER underrated channel, and the biggest L blizzard has taken.

Heartbreaking what happened to Overwatch, hopefully Microsoft can change Blizzard for the better and support the devs in giving the players what they want. #saveOW2

Overwatch is dead brand

there you go get back in that hope cycle!!! this time THIS TIME hopefully!

For real one of the saddest things in my gaming experience. Overwatch was my favorite game of all time for years. Even with the community getting more and more toxic and the drip dropping of content, I spent hours on hours in the game. When O2 came around my fire for the game was relit. But after playing it more and more I stopped having fun. I thought if I kept playing and kept ranking up it would be fun again, even after rolling a couple games in comp and then getting rolled a couple games I thought it would be fun. It never became fun again. I absolutely love the battle pass idea when it includes COSMETICS ONLY. But putting a brand new character and game changing content behind a pricetag in a highly competitive game is what still leaves a horrible taste in my mouth. I wish Blizzard treated this game and it’s community with the respect it deserves, but they won’t. I don’t believe they ever will. The golden age of blizzard has long passed, and the golden age of Overwatch ended when Jeff Kaplan left, and I will never be upset at him for it. Jeff was truly the game dev we deserved but was only given A PARAGRAPH to speak to all of us one final time. Blizzard is dead, Overwatch is dead, Activision and the Midas Touched greedy higher ups at this company killed it. I’m gonna go play a different game now, cheers.

You should play it now, it’s not bad. But yes, it will never be the same

Having no friends for the most part of my life.I found my friend group in this game. And i enjoyed this game so much. Its a shame things turned out this way

This was a great video man. It was insanely well made. Keep them coming.

The fact that we can NEVER go back to Overwatch 1 in actually pure, sheer robbery. I cannot believe I have had one of my favourite games stolen away from me...

Literally. We paid for overwatch 1. I feel like it's not even legal to just get rid of it entirely.

expect overwatch classic in 3 years where you can rebuy everything you had already bought

Yep. I bought a physical copy of Overwatch 1 when it came out, at the urge of my brother. Boycotting Blizzard has been a really good decision.

Blizzard became one of those companies that went from chasing dreams to chasing trends.

Brilliant video, summarizes my thoughts perfectly. Seven years of my life i spent whole hearted on this game, only to be slapped in the face repeatedly.

Really well-edited, concise and fun video, dude. Great job!

Also you deserve way more subs, this video is so well edited and really good quality, you gained a sub 💜

The PvE was A proof of concept which they downscaled and sold to us, A DOWNSCALED PROOF OF CONCEPT. Its heart breaking what they have done to this game.

What the blizzard execs did to the game*** dont blame the devs they’re trying their hardest when they have shitty higher ups. Invasion is the salvage of what was canceled because they wanted to put their work out. When all the original devs left in the middle of pve it was difficult for the new team because they got a shitton of work without and idea what the original vision was

It's not downscaled at all. They literally just said. "Yeah we kinda suck at this, but we'll give you guys what we got." Amd now they're drop feeding it to us. You have a little too much respect for blizzard if you think they have that much more content for this thing behind the scenes.

I feel bad for the OW players who had to get one of the biggest gut punches in gaming history, I never played OW but I feel really bad for you guys. This is just HEARTBREAKING and this is why I fear about games getting updated because they become worse or they take away what was good. They tried to fix a problem that didn't exist and they got greedy..

This is why tf2 is superior

​@@atlas.from.portal2 TF2 has PvE (Mann vs Machine) as well all the way back in 2012

I just got back into the game about 2 weeks ago and my god does it break my heart with the state it is in currently. Unbalanced roles, terrible matchmaking, and still an enormous smurfing problem. Blizzard broke my heart with the announcement of no PvE and it was with that one stream that I didn’t touch the game for almost 6 months. Playing it now is still fairly fun, but it makes me feel dirty playing it as it’s basically me supporting Blizzard even though they’ve done the bare minimum, and let greed dictate their decisions instead of following what the fans wanted. 😭

I just came back and am having a great time 👍

the way we know why Kaplan left without him saying why he left is really amazing, Blizzard new era at it peaks

My cosmetics ended up in the rare instance where the coin lands on neither heads or tails but on its side. Most of my cosmetics were there but a select few (mostly the ones that had come with the edition of the game I bought) were gone. It was a very weird situation.

i lost all 4 years of xbox overwatch progress when overwatch 2 happened

Warcraft 2 was one of the first computer games I remember playing in like 1996/1997. It's heartbreaking to see Blizzard kill each game it touches nowadays. For a long time, it felt like every game they released was an instant hit.

Well Old Blizzard died giving birth to WoW. It was just too profitable, and killed them.

IMO they could’ve kept the first game running, and in the sequel add entirely new heroes for the PvP and add the old ones exclusively for PvE, that way there’s value in both games. That would’ve also helped prevent an excess amount of hero balances and tweaks to an already convoluted system with too many characters on the roster

Playing overwatch on release in 2016 was such an incredible and unique experience. It’s not an experience I expect to ever have again.

Ow on release was so fun cuz every every single character was broken. In that way it was balanced

This

Almost no cheaters. And majority of people didn’t know what they were doing so the picks were actually somewhat diverse.

It was so much fun, it was just a party game. No ranked, no limitations, just 6 bastions going up against whatever else wacky shit, it was the mario kart of shooters and I miss it immensely.

wow, this was really well made video. A lot of passion went into this. loved it! thumbs up

Was never big into Overwatch due to its popularity and price tag (at the time I had to choose which day I could eat a bowl of rice and which week I could eat a can of vegetables) and even after Overwatch 2 came out, I heard mostly negative things. Most issues were centered around the hero price tags and such, but I didn't realize how bad it actually was. Also that false currency in the battle pass is a marketing ploy in cash grab games, so I feel the greed should have been more obvious from that point.

The first was the only multiplayer game that made it into my top 5 games. People had their issues, but I put SO many hours in. It was the game that made me love multiplayer games. The fact that they deleted it to replace it with a 'sequel' (Blizzard, please look up this word in the dictionary) is so gross. The free to play bullshit has completely sucked the life out of it. The fact that I never see any maps I enjoy anymore also hurts it. Basically they have gone out of their way to destroy it. lol. Also, you are WRONG about Echo haha.

i just realized this video has its segments divided into the five stages of grief, fucking brilliant

I spent 5+ years playing this game, since its release (I even have the original beta version still installed on my old xbox.) It’s so sad to see a game with so much potential go down like this. It’s the last game i played with all my friends/family before we all put down the controllers and started focusing more on our irl endeavors, so this game holds a special place in my heart. I wish the PVE had come. I would’ve loved to get the whole lore and it would’ve closed out this game a lot better. I had so many memorable moments, uncontrollable laughs and precious memories playing OW1, but it seems its time has come. Goodbye OW, you did great -Your favorite Lucio main

The anger i feel mostly comes from the fact that the potential was astronomical and blizzard killed every bit of hope for the game.

Blizzard are absolute *masters* of squandering potential nowadays.

Imagine being angry because a corporation did something you didn’t like with their product

@@kelsormjaquan gaming is a passion and an art form. It's normal to have these reactions. What are we supposed to do? Just not care about anything?

@@Fosten12 Do you care about the games and art forms in my own home? No, you care about the corporations garbage games they peddle to you ever since you were a child to get you hooked on the crap, so you’re always a paying customer. It’s fine to have a “passion” but that buzzword is simply code for “slave to something” and for you that’s games you don’t own and being angry at some executive decisions that impact their product that they manipulated you into buying

I started playing the day Sombra was introduced to the game. I had a lot of fun playing it. It's definitely on of the most fun I've had playing games. I stopped playing around the time when the evil healer lady was introduced. I think I'm satisfied with when I left. I liked to pop in one every year for a weak to see how the game is but I don't think I'll be doing much of that anymore. It just looks too boring now. I'm sad it's dead but I always knew it had died for me a long time ago.

I just like to think that in every internal meeting of the devs, there is at least 1 guy sent from the executive just to ask those devs "what can we charge them for?" Making those devs life more miserable everyday.

Man, my little brother would often watch all of the animated scenes of OW1, see people play it and even do fan art cause he really loved the game. I had no condition of buying the game during that period and Everytime I saw him on the phone watching the animations again, my heart would just broke apart Today I can give the game as a present but, it's not the same as it was and he moved to fortnite Instead (Actually I don't know if that's a good thing or not) So, sometimes I just wish that he could had played the game during it's Glory days

As a vetran and a true fan of the overwatch universe . I still remmeber how i saved up to get the first game and how i loved it but this truly breaks my heart and hurts me Edit: holy cow thanks for the likes guys.

I remember pre ordering the game after i played the beta, I had a lot of fun times with the game. But sometimes you gotta learn to let go, genuinely fuck the game and blizzard. They deserve every bit of hate they’re getting right now.

When I got my birthday money in 2017 I was excited beyond excited to buy this game and finally play it. I played it so much in the first year that I used my allounce money to buy the game for my 2 friends and we were having the blast of my entire life in OW1... It's so good looking back at all the happy memories I got from playing the game. But ow2 is just the most disappointing and the entire opposite side of what I was feeling in 2018-19 playing ow1 with my friends.

Ah friends I wish u all the best and it's a shame that something we loved getting destroyed infront of us

It had so much potential with the first game. I was hoping they would keep expanding it like League of Legends. Yes the LOL community is very toxic, but the game has lasted so long with such extensive lore and new Champs every year. This is what I hope for OW1; many heros and a exciting complicated lore. I even thought a movie or tv series would be made. But I knew when they made a second game it would end it entirely. Blizzard has lost my interest, they continue time and time to be the money hungry demon company they have always been.

without a doubt Jeff is the only individual that kept ow alive. He cared because his entire reputation revolved around the playerbase. He read what players wanted and delivered time and time again. There were 1 or 2 controversial launches under him but were quickly fixed. Overall OW1 was a success and a truly amazing experince. It's not asinine to think 1 person can keep an entire game together. Sakurai does it every time with smash brothers. OW2 hasn't felt amazing to me, just a clone. jeff did the big brain move of leaving, I think he knew what was coming and he couldn't convince others that the decision they were making was terrible. OW2 can be fun, but it required much more work from the players than the actual programers, and that is not how a game should be.

When brig get launched how many time past before the goat was deleted by the role queu

But yes ow still good after the role queu and a bit better in comp

nah L take overwatch would have failed with or without jeff it was just a question of whether or not jeff wanted to go down with the ship

@@ninja666gaming the literal Overwatch Team that used to work at Blizzard said Jeff Kaplan was the one who shielded the team from the higher-ups’ bullshit and he was the reason why the team managed to have a positive work environmeny overall. Their own words. Like sure, OW2 was destined to fail regardless of Kaplan, because of the horrible management on Blizzard’s end. But denying that Jeff Kaplan had a huge positive effect on the game would be undermining his work and disrespecting his efforts.

assuming that Jeff sticks around in some capacity as a game developer, I'd love to see what he's cooking up next

The best part about the Invasion Bundle not working is that the fix for it was literally turning off the steam overlay. Their new release on Steam fucked them over. How poetic XD

Fire editing. In a sea of content creators expressing their disdain for this game, this is is definitely a standout. 💫💫

I can say that if Ow2 had trully reached it's full potencial it would be easily one of the biggest hits of the year and might have stood on valve doorsteap for once.

say what you will about valve neglecting TF2, but just remember that active dev teams can kill as much as they create

Yeah plus I’d say the TF2 fanbase has been overly dramatic at times lately.

I find it crazy that blizzard is earning many many many times more money now than they used to before... and they've never underdelivered more in their life. They have the resources, they have the money, yet they don't have the care.

Loot boxes in overwatch 1 actually felt very fair. I understand taking out the ability to buy them, but they shouldn't have been removed for leveling up.

Even more when it lessened your chances of getting duplicates. You still could but they made it so that happened less often.

Lootboxes in OW1 may be a grey predatory mechanic that game companies use nowadays, but yeah I can totally agree that it is much more fair. (It doesn't gatelock people from heroes, only cosmetics are there... you don't need to pay, it only need some of your time and you could get back to grinding anytime) And in other games with this mechanic, they give you exp or gold boosters to get skins or items you wanted. (might still take a while to get what you wanted, but they are pretty generous especially on events that it doesn't matter) Then OW2 came with a black predatory mechanic, gatelocking people (every new past OW2 heroes you must do 6 training challenge, and win 35 times on that hero class, and lvl 45 on the BP for the current new hero), If you pay you still have to grind for it (seriously 10k exp for 1 level in battlepass? 2-15 matches are needed depending if you have dailies or not), and if you don't pay.... It doesn't have a respect for your time and always wants you to put hours in to hopefully get what you wanted... But it's system gives you a drop in bucket for rewards (and you can't even use it for the majority of items) OW2 is a joke, I'd rather spend my money worthwhile games at this point. Heck I think even gacha games looks much more fair with their character pulls than OW2's "reward" system

Getting them from leveling up was another incentive for people to play the game

It wasn't bad because you bought the game. It would've killed OW1 if it was extremely predatory like it was with EA (just look at why they were banned in the first place) however seeing how greedy they are now with those prices you can't stop and think they put the old loot box mechanics In OW2

They had to trade it out for a new system with the BP cause the game was becoming free. Miss them tho.

Push mode feels more like payload race gameplay wise, but the forward spawn points do make it feels like 5cp.

ah yes, for years i’d knew this come to happen and i am not disappointed because i expected this

I’d wager the reason the game was killed was because it wasn’t immediately lucrative. I once saw a comment that stated like, Blizzard made the objectively wrong choice. Should they have made the PVE as they promised, they could have had the PVP *and* PVE players eating out of their hands and item shops. But no, end their promises and expect fans to still love them.

most criminally underrated channel in existence, this type of quality is beyond others that have millions of subs

This makes me happy that I don’t play Overwatch, and be part of the disappointment that everyone experienced

This is very well made. Thank you for voicing your thoughts as it aligns with so many of us who have been mislead and disappointed.

I'm glad you liked the video!!

i feel sad for the one guy who worked so hard to literally be the best the amount of hours he clocked in that in the end Overwatch made levels just so HE COULD PROGRESS

Man, I remember when in 2017 I bought ov 1 and I just had the best time with my friends all day, we got exited every time there was an update or an event, I had motivation to play because I would get lootboxes, but mostly for the fun of playing the game. Honestly, I cried when ov 1 got shut down and changed to ov2. Literally all my memories, the funny moments with my friends, everything gone to sh*t. I played ov 2 for a few days, then never played again. It was my fav game, I had 500+ hr on that game. All for nothing. Pd: at least I have the good memories.❤

Jeff was the greatest thing Overwatch ever had and they chased him off with corporate bs and monetization.

If you can ignore the egregious store prices and the let down of PVE, the game is still fun

Thank you for bringing OW to steam! TF2 really needed the new player pop!

real

Overwatch is finally dead… I can finally rest easy…

It’s full of rage, but still has a player base with millions

​@Idkdk9rk well- 99% of those are overwatch porn conunity, ow only uad a few dozen thousand players on steam

@@CoconutDoge I’m NA console and I can find a game max 6 minutes, while yes the game is dying it’s not completely dead. And the ow porn community is not a thing. It’s a group of low testosterone addicts who need to see real women. Blizzard is doing everything they can to prevent the inevitable: have Microsoft take the company under their own wing

@@CoconutDoge But I agree like how do the animators/artist put more in then blizzard themselves 💀

Count be very interesting to see how many players quit the game because the PvE lies. Personally - i know 3 who quit, and 3 that stayed

I love how you implemented the 5 stages of grief in your video. Because thats pretty much sums it up. GG

One thing you missed that i wish you included is that when there was a bug between mei and kiriko they decided to remove mei and keep kiriko because it was the season that she had released in or because she had a mythic skin. (I can't remember) So instead of removing kiriko and affecting their bottom line and battle pass mei had to go. But they still wanted you to pay money for the mei skin the same day she was removed... That you couldn't use.

After having watched the last few minutes, ill add you ignored the fact that they gave supports like 200 consecutive nerfs and then locked half the bp xp behind playing supports forcing players to play these garbage sacks. You also missed the part where not just the higher ups but the entire ow2 team from bottom to top lied to the community for 18 months about pve whilst selling bp, cosmetics, tokens, watchpoint packs, and more. They directly profited from the lie and knew they did it. After the news hit they forced players to esign away their right to sue them in a class action lawsuit for doing this. It came in the form of an updated EULA but it was more than that. Im the only one who read the damn thing cuz no one else even brought this up.

Incedible Storytelling! Love how u planned that video

My biggest problem with games as a service is that it’s all in the hands of the players. You can all just not play these games. Or play them and not buy the optional content. Withhold your time and the companies will change their practices. There’s infinite amounts of good games out there. You don’t have to torture yourselves

You hit 99% of everything that happened. I’m shocked you managed to capture everything from the past few years. What an amazing summary. I love this

Um.. how? Everyone and their mother captured everything from the past 4 years a million times

@@DetectiveEmaSkye 🆗

I have no idea how the fuck Covid affected Blizzard this hard. I work for a software developer with at the time 100 people working there. When the "work from home" mandates were put in effect in March/April 2020, our IT set up everything in one fucking day. It was honestly amazing work, love those guys. Well, we all worked from home within a day as if nothing had happened and guess what? 2020 has been our most successful year to date. How the fuck did Blizzard not make progress for MONTHS? Edit: I never played Overwatch, but I was so insanely sad when Jeff left. Still remember when we had rumors about "project Titan" all those years ago and when Jeff finally revealed OW to be this project Titan. He was so emotional, passionate, happy to finally reveal it to us. Overwatch was his baby. And then he left a few years later. Probably one of the biggest red flags ever.

When i noticed they took away free loot boxes for players that bought the game and locked heroes behind paywalls I knew this game was going to be a money grab 😔 came back a few times since release but the game feels dead and unrewarding now that you have to pay for everything that was free before

It's sad that videogames have shifted from full game release with everything done and finished back in physical copies, to now players having to litterally boycott games that abuse the "early access"/microtransactions and have sluggish developpement of their game

Amazing video, quality was great and editing was beautiful! Keep it up

I just spent 21 minutes eating while this dude told me the whole overwatch story, loved it ❤

We all miss Jeff. NO ONE can replace him and the people that actually loved making games. Blizzard just makes glorified casinos now. Death to the company. Down with Bobby! 🔥☠️🔥

Down with Bobby, Wilson, Iger, and all others like them!

👏

Cut the rose tinted crap. Jeff isn't exactly making the game any better after a while. He's reached his peak and fell off.

​@@Bestow3000I was about to say this. In 2:00 the video even says how Jeff completely dropped the ball until actbliz decided to pull the trigger on ow2.

It's so sad to see a game with so much potential being reduced to a shit show, because of the laziness and unplanned promises that at the end were pushed away. I loved this game, however the lies that they fed the community just leaves a bitter taste each time i even think about the game. I still hope that they somehow revive the game and come on top, just for the sake of how much can be added and changed that would shape a very good game. Nevertheless with all this drama, lies and forcing the microtransactions by the devs i dont see that happening. P.S Very good video with great info, keep up the good work :)

I genuinely feel bad for any of the devs that had the hopes of delivering a quality game. Now their name is tied to a dumpster fire of a game forever.

I am happy to be a TF2 player and not have to put up with this mess.

I started playing overwatch one when it was on his deathbed because friends of mine beg me to join as I had just gotten a PC and I got to tell you it was kind of fun and it seem promising on overwatch two came out I was excited to get in and start dedicating my time and getting better at the game But slowly started to notice it. The game was incredibly unbalanced, but not to mention there was a very prevalent very toxic player base. And with that being said, I have a nephew that loves playing games and loves playing games with me, he saw me playing overwatch one day and wanted to give it a try and I said sure but because he’s under age, he can’t have his own account so I let him hop on my computer for a little bit mind you he’s not used to playing on a PC so I was sitting there coaching him at some point the other player started trash talking him and then I found out that he’s a kid told him he shouldn’t be here because the game is for grown-ups only this is part of the reason why there’s such a huge balance issue because the game has a very small handful of dedicated player bass it will never leave the game no matter how terrible it’s become. I want a new player comes along. They try to push them out. They worked on me because I certainly don’t wanna play with people like that I’ll never let my nephew play it again, when I grow up, I was playing first person shooters like halo online. I was pretty decent, but I never got pushed out the gamer base back then was so much more chill. I blame the advent of the pro gamer, and this game just exemplifies it to the umpteenth degree.

Only thing I'm mad about is the ridiculous number of mercys pocketing genji. There's always one without fail in every match I play

It really is sad, as a tf2 player, when you take a step back and look at both games, it’s especially sad knowing that both games have been essentially abandoned by the developers except for them stopping by about 3 times a year to try and squeeze out some more money from their players. It is nice to see that tf2 is getting some more communication from valve, but i feel so bad for my friends who were so hyped for ow2 and completely let down. I dont want either game to fail, but this kind of stuff is unacceptable.

I agree, I am a diehard fan of both TF2 and OW. But lately, it’s coming to the point I am finding very few reasons to play Overwatch or TF2 anymore. The content feels predatory and like an elaborate scheme to squeeze money out of people who were hopeful of the game. I can definitely say that if Activision doesn’t cut this “profit first” bullshit, I am going to quit Overwatch altogether, cold turkey. I started playing in 2018 and this game was one of my favorite games ever. To then be treated like shit as a consumer who bought the game, bought merchandise, spent countless hours playing the game, to see it all then go from “we care about our players” to “blah blah blah, empty promises empty promises, now give me 20 bucks dumbass” makes me feel betrayed.

@@weed884 this guy gets it

@@djtrac3r935 I have to wonder what John 'TotalBiscuit' Bain would make of all this, seeing how he advocated for the lootbox model that they used, which was understandable at the time considering how rare their more generous approach to the monetization model was back then? *Gone too soon though...*

try being a gw2 fan

As someone who played overwatch since beta, I don't know whether to cheer or cry at it's death.

I just can't wrap my head around how in 2000s Blizzard was a synonym of quality. Then in 2010s it was a bit of a hit or miss. Sometimes great sometimes bad. And now in 2020s blizzard is just a garbage company that spawns garbage after garbage. Amazing.

This video is amazing, great job

We need to demand and start a petition to get Overwatch 1 back

When devs get so comfortable that they think they can sh!t on their play base without consequence 🤣 love to see karma.

This was actually an insanely well edited and put together video. I think a sentiment that a decent amount of the playerbase can agree on is that the content we are getting isnt even bad, but its not what we were promised, so it comes off as mundane. This was the only season i bought the battlepass for and i can say with 100% certainty, that i regret that purchase. The only thing keeping me around is the workshop that i'll dabble in time to time. Other games have just had more to offer, and in a manner in which i will happily spend my money on. I would rather spend $100 on Rust skins and DLC's over $15 for anymore missions, because i know that the game will have more to offer me in the long run. Whether that be just a fun time sync, or actually making a few friends randomly while playing that i will continue to play with. I think unless something big changes Overwatch will slowly fall out of the mainstream, and hopefully the game that replaces it will be much better.

you just described my exact feelings with this game, Overwatch doesn't really offer anything of worth anymore, so putting unfinished content behind a paywall only serves to encourage their already disappointed playerbase to... not play the game lol I'm glad you enjoyed the vid zaggy, more are coming in the future!

I really want a game as fun as Overwatch was to me. I was actually a new player and started on ow2, but i found it to be one of the best, most fun games... until, the news came out, and i learned about the past four years. I wish I hadn't missed Overwatch's golden moment. I've known overwatch for years but never thought of playing it until 2022, after Ow2 released... and i can't find a game that can replace this, no matter what i play, overwatch was one of my best experiences. Valorant, CSGO, any other fps shooter... so now im stuck with nothing :/

@@TamWam_ - Yeah it sucks really bad. But if you still really like it then keep playing it, but talk with your wallet. The game will never change if we allow the monetization they are using to work. The Apex community has been doing this for awhile for their heirloom stuff. The money they get for bad practices is only the amount we give them, and every penny counts for bad corpo.

Dude I felt every minute of this vid. I remember the first day I bought ow December of 2016. I was 12 I’m 19 now. I loved overwatch, I followed the lore, I loved this fucking game. What they did to it makes me sooo restless. Whenever it’s mentioned I get so triggered at the thought. It’s very disappointing, I play once maybe twice a month now. The game is fun but it’s far worse of a game I’m terms of quality now.

I remember buying Overwatch 1 in August 2016 at GameStop getting home loading the shit in my disc Tray playing for hours as Cassidy, Mei, or Solider 76 until after 2017 when the first major issues started to happen so I stopped playing once I heard we was getting an Overwatch 2 I was excited & couldn’t wait to jump back in the franchise for the first couple games I didn’t really thought that much until I realized that Blizzard only gave us less then half of the promises we asked for 3 years prior im sad to say it’s hard to let it go but I think it’s for the best😢⚰️

your video quality is good and unique, keep it up

Holy moly Blizzard truly did over promise and under deliverd

To be honest, I only play this game because of my friends. I been playing this game for the last 6-7 years (Yep I know I’m still shocked by this). OW/OW2 I used to love playing this game but I stopped playing around 2020 since I was burnt out. Now around 2022 OW2 was released I’ll admit I sort of missed playing it when my best friend told me to play this game with him. (I only say I missed playing it because we would usually play on PS4 but now we play PC) But after playing couple seasons of this game, I just don’t have dedication nor the motivation to keep playing this game. Especially seeing the battle pass and shop for costumes and accessories, it hasn’t impressed me at all. Don’t get me started on comp, I used to be on Plat and close to Diamond back on OW but now I get placed around Silver and hardstuck Gold. (I stopped playing comp afterwards when I didn’t progress to the next rank) I wish this game could’ve been better but it just keeps going to the bottom of the barrel. I lost the love for this game and don’t have anymore patience for it. I just don’t have the energy for it anymore. But maybe one day OW2 will get better one day who knows.

You forgot about what they really put their work into for those 3 years! The store, battle pass, and psychologists to make micro-transactions as predatory as possible

Sadly every publisher nowadays just focus all the work on micro transactions and call it a day. No wonder why a lot of games are dying quicker than ever

@@arturoehr Not BG3 or Elden Ring : )

​@@ChronicConundrumCuz those are actual games

@@ChronicConundrumyeah cause elden ring isn’t a pvp game

Around 1000 hours spent and had a blast over the years. The day they announced there would be no PvE I uninstalled the game and haven't touched it since.

16x the detail and over 200 years of combined game dev experience.

I startet a week ago and i love it, iwas there in ow1 and now after a long pause im back. I love the story mode and the 5v5 matches. Why do people always hate good things

The constant lying and cash greed of the developers is just so tiring

O.W was a great game, but I passed to an other one, and honestly, I must admit I fell in love of Shatterline, this game is what Blizzard failed to do.

As Tf2 player, it so nice to see both communities join forces and hate on the company and the game. It warms the heart.

As a person who never touched both games....its nicer to see both die lol

@@daxxgaming2567 Sad part for you is that only Overwatch is dead.

@@JunkMysterion tf2 is dead yall delusional kinks are only prolonging the inevitable lol

​@@daxxgaming2567 *tf2 casually getting its highest player peak with 253,225 players this summer*

Guys come on! Blizzard is a small indie dev with a net worth of a measly 70ish billion dollars. Cut them some slack. Keep buying their products like you always have; no matter what happened and happens. Never stop encouraging them to be the way they are. The way you love.

Now they recently showed all the characters ages and somehow Blizzard still managed to screw that up.

I think every single one of us should finally throw this game and the company behind it into the shitter and finally move on with our lives.
