An absolutely pathetic attempt to revive a dead game

[AntriX]

This has to be the most pathetic attempt at reviving a game that Blizzard has ever done. I thought the latest WoW expansions were the most pathetic attempts to revive the dying Retail version of the game, but this OW2 coming to steam fiasco just beats anything.

They completely annihilated this pathetic cash grab by cancelling the ONLY feature players were excited about (the campaign co-op mode), filled it in with even more micro-transactions than the first game, managed to somehow make it even more unbalanced than the first game, and to top all of that up are now deliberately killing the OW League by paying teams NOT to participate.

This game is completely and utterly dead in the waters and bringing it to Steam will not revive it. Instead, it will be its final tombstone as I ****ing promise you it will get review bombed to oblivion on day one.

Good job for making yourselves look like even bigger clowns, (formerly revered, now utter trash company known as) Blizzard.

no, not dead.

If only we knew how to coordinate, instead of a review bomb, we could get a slow but steady increase in negative reviews, so that it avoids triggering the thing that says it was abnormal.

That way we could have OW2 achieve overwhelmingly negative, which be a GIGANTIC blow!

This would be a fever dream, as the Steam community has proven time and time again that we all have no organization skills, the best you'll get from the community is a review bomb or complete total madness, usually both in the worst case situation.

OW2 as a game on steam is an abnormality. We need to respond in kind and review bomb it. Valve has proven they couldn't give a ♥♥♥♥ about TF2, do you really think they will try and save OW2's reviews?

i think thats unfair, to valve:
they surely care little about TF2, but they still keep it alive, even if they dont care to renovate the franchise with a new titles, and the same goes with LFD2 and Portal 2. maybe if an independent studio pitched the idea to make them the sequels or spinoffs, valve could allow it as long as they also get paid.

i think they care, but care more about trying to first improve their hardware sales. i think maybe they cant afford time and money to design and push new titles of their own that wont make them easy cash fast like esports with DOTA. maybe thats why they try luck with that card, which i cant remember.

Anyway, theres no reason they should care about a brand they dont own, and even less when (i think) is now tightly controlled by microsoft. also no reason to review bomb something before playing, unless its filled with micro-transactions, gender and or "body positive" ideological propaganda, and similar forms of nazi-like authoritarian "anti-consumer"* pollution (imo *anti-human would be more appropiate). if the game is actually trash, it wont last much, and if it is ok and free of "the bad stuff", it may survive. either way its a good thing, because they are "testing the waters", and ow is a very valuable franchise. if this fails, they surely will try to keep it alive in some other way. also valve has never tried to save anything from bad reviews with censorship: usually the people connected directly to the game or forums are the ones trying to ban and censor bad reviews.

imo, its also a good thing blizzard is "mutating" so maybe classic blizzard titles will be available here someday, making also easier to play them in linux and steam deck. they should have focused in game design rather than trying to compete with valve. only epic can try, and only because they are likely backed by china for political reasons. imo most people are smart enough to collect free deals from epic, and take advantage of the better prices and bigger catalogue in steam, if they dont hate epic enough to avoid it completely after many of the shady deals that have turned to trash many good games.

As I said it's literally the last nail in this game's coffin, to come to steam thinking steam audience will revive it.

This game will be full of russians once it will launch on Steam

Overwatch 2 would have a better future if Blizzard sold it to porn animators
