Multi BILLION dollar company can't manage it's employees or money enough to complete a simple campaign mode, more news at 11
Now there's officially a 0% chance of me ever playing Overwatch.
We are a month away from what would've probably been Microsoft's acquisition of Blizzard had Sony not decided to meddle. And while this might still have happened, the sale actually being approved probably would have put decisions like this on hold until after it had gone through. Lot of "what ifs" but man, it'd been nice to see this getting a better chance at fruition (and no, if Microsoft does eventually get the sale, this isn't going to magically get resurrected, this bridge is well and truly burned by this decision)
It's a brilliant strategy. First they get rid of the previous game so anyone who owned it can't go back and play, then after everyone is in the second game and already spending money whether buying the special edition or just microtransactions they reveal they aren't giving what was the whole reason for a sequel the pve mode. All they have to do now is make the base game appealing to the people silly enough to keep giving them money for broken promises and ignore anything else until they release the new product for people to consume blindly.
Honestly, I am so disappointed by this. I loved OW1, especially the characters and the small story missions it had. Hearing back in the days at Blizzcon 2019 that they will do ow2 with pve mode was so awesome, I was so hyped for this game. Now hearing that it will never happen is such a shame. They had this wonderful IP and basically just ruined it in a few years just to maximise milking people. Imagine being a company that was know for a few of the best games ever created and you are unable to finish a simple pve mode that was the main feature of your new game. Things must be really !@#$ed up there.
well guess its time to finally uninstall this dead game legit was hoping pve could redeem this game but i guess they are more interested in PVP and selling you overpriced skins you once apon a time coukd have earned for free in overwatch OG
Oh ok well that just mean=s i can write it off. the pve mode was what i was waiting for to play the game.
You destroyed Overwatch 1 for no reason...it was better than Overwatch 2 and we aren't even getting PVE. GG, I hope the game crashes and burns after this announcement. You had a great franchise and completely squandered it at every turn, Blizzard. Good riddance.
So let me get this straight: Blizzard had the option to make an amazing pve mode of the game that they promised to make, which would bring in millions of players and excitement or just keep doing OW1 and kill off the game.And they chose option 2 because of some time schedule? Thanks for nothing.
