They really outdid themselves this time. Gotta give it to them, failing this hard might actually be considered a talent

Hey guys! Hope you’re having a great day!
This video was a different format from my previous ones and that’s because this is the direction I want my content to head in :). A few months ago I started drawing up all the sprites (I still need to do way more) and getting this type of content ready but for some reason I just couldn’t find a video that worked to make this transition. But finally, I picked this one. And I hope you guys liked it! I’m a bit new to this format, so there’s still a few things to improve on and work out I’m sure. But, we’ll just see where this goes! 😀
Thanks for your time, and have a great day!
Overwatch’s downfall is just sad.
Blizzard never fails to disappoint. Stopped playing overwatch a long time ago, and thanks to them I’m sure I’ll never see a reason to check it out again.
Ps i love the sprites! They looks really nice!
Even as a TF2 player, I feel for Overwatch fans
Overwatch should just get the Arcane treatment and be an animated series on some website or streaming service. At this point I would be fine with just letting the game element die and have more story driven content going forward, even if it means I can’t play it.
The best thing about the Overwatch Franchise: The cinematics and characters
god it is soooo cathartic to see a video talking about overwatch 2’s failures in depth, thank you so much for making this vid. overwatch got me through some extremely hard times when i was younger, after a friend bought it for me. i got back into it a few years ago and was passionate about it once again, even encouraged my partner into playing it too… but then overwatch 2 hit. the staff really needed to communicate more with their fanbase, and truly listen to their suggestions on how to attract new players before even considering making overwatch 2. their fans bought overwatch in the first place and were the ones who got their friends etc into it over the years, so they of course wanted it to improve and get popular again and trust me they were LOUD with their ideas back then. instead, they now focus on ugly skins and badly handled new characters. i’m glad new players can play for free now, but they’re losing more and more of their og fanbase and i’m not sure if those new players will even stick around. i stopped playing and so many of my friends did too. those who didn’t mostly keep playing out of habit or nostalgia, or because their friends play it, but they’re constantly annoyed and on the lookout for a better game. beyond bigger issues, even small things like not showing your stats at the end of a match anymore and not having lootboxes ruined a lot of the fun for me. i feel like they’re now focusing on selling overpriced skins, adding badly handled new characters, and just not improving the og characters enough. the og game and its characters still mean a lot to me, but i won’t be back unless there’s huge changes. idk, it leaves a bad taste in my mouth. but your video gave me some closure! thank you for this. your videos are always so well researched and fun to watch <3
I love this game, and I don’t think that will ever change, but Blizzard is very much trying my patience.
OW was a big part of my life up until OW2 launched.
Mei brought me into it and I even met my partner in a competitive match.
R.I.P. to a game that brought me so much joy and took so much of my time. I will miss you
Overwatch 1 brought me back with the workshop mode. Tons of hours because you could play with ALL characters in interesting ways. There was a cod zombie type playmode with shop and upgrades.
Of course they got rid of that in OW 2. The game’s apeal died pretty much there. Maybe they will bring it back (probably not).
I really miss having every item unlocked in the hero gallery.
If I had to sum up the meta for AAA gaming right now it would be “release the game on the scaffolding, open for business while being under construction”
Overwatch was a game? I thought it was porn
I just stumbled across this channel and I gotta say… I simply love the sprites. The way this video is presented, it looks right up my alley.
they should’ve kept the little men on the Ilios screen in the game 🙁
When I was watching that Twitch stream I thought I would be the only one upset about hero mode being cancelled. I was surprised to see the whole community also upset over this news.
For the newer Blizzard players, this is definitely sad. For longtime players like myself (I remember when Diablo 1 came out), this is absolutely tragic.
It’s a shame to see that Blizzard has been repeating the same mistakes across their games.
Hearthstone has also been making its monetisation model difficult for free-to-play players, and now has two different battle pass systems alongside its pack/loot-box model.
Blizzard: The first time was so nice I had to do it twice
I am so glad you made this video. I was thinking about doing the very same thing but you said everything I wanted to say in your video.
I think most people will agree that a paid game with free cosmetics is better than a free game with a battle pass
All of this could’ve been avoided if they focused on the PvE and launched the game with it. Instead they chose to milk the players for a quick buck. Just like will happen with Diablo 4. Blizzard as a whole has shown their hand over and over with countless controversies and examples of mistreatment of their own devs. I boycotted them after their failure with OW 1 and learning what they did to their devs. People need to start voting with their wallet for this company.
I never had an interest in playing Overwatch, cause I’m really bad at PvP, but I still like watching the cinematics and reading the lore when it came along. I actually forgot Overwatch 2 was even a thing until this video, and didn’t even realise they’d taken Overwatch offline. It’s a real shame they took down a game you and lots of other people loved so much.
I have a friend who played overwatch all the time, so i wanted to buy it too so we could play together. I saw they were making it free when it turned into overwatch 2, so i waited an entire year for it to come out, so watching them just slowly kill the game when we could finally play it together was just heartbreaking.
I kinda regret that i didnt buy it while it was still just overwatch, so i could have enjoyed the game while it was good.
My psychical copy of Overwatch 1 is basically useless and serves no purpose. But I’ll never get rid of it, because it serves as a reminder to all the fun times I had, and the passion Blizzard had for this game, it’s characters, and it’s universe. To those of you who are still fans of the game like me, but still call out Blizzards bullshit. Thank you, for speaking out and trying to help keep interest in the game. And to help other people see, that there is still something to be made out of this game.
I miss overwatch when every character was broken in their own way and the matches were exciting even if you lost.
The problem isn’t that corpos prioritize profits over everything else, they prioritized short-term profits. It should have been clear to anyone that this rug pull they did would’ve created a lot of bad blood and killed any trust they had with players but they did it anyways cause it was “profitable” in the moment while ignoring/not caring about any of the negative aftermath that would inevitably come. They sacked this game, got their money, and are now looking at the next get-rich-quick scheme they can think of.
