    I bought Overwatch on PlayStation, Xbox, Switch, and PC. I also bought it for my daughter on PC. We would play online together.

    I would then buy myself and my daughter each a big loot box pack when there was a new event (Halloween, Christmas, etc.) so that we could get some fun cosmetics.

    I paid A LOT of money for Overwatch.

    Blizzard then killed off the game. It’s gone. We cannot play it, ever again.

    In its place is now Overwatch 2. It looks similar, but it plays differently and has new mechanics and a whole-new monetary system that locks gameplay elements behind a paywall.

    The game now being “free” for everyone to download doesn’t make anything about it better. And it certainly doesn’t make up for the fact that the old game is gone.

      plenty of games have made the transition from paid to f2p and lots of those have also been acompanied by large overhauls/patches. none of them i remember have had as large a backlash as overwatch did.
