Update: So the PVE has now been completely cancelled, the entire point of the sequel is now gone. Good job.

Overwatch Rule 34 artists worked more throughout those 5 years than the developers themselves.

It is with a heavy heart that I announce that my wallet does not meet the requirements for a blizzard quality experience. It is no longer in my plan to deliver Blizzard a single cent.

Read somewhere the “Activision” standards were swayed by how quickly Diablo ‘Immoral’ made millions and decided the ROI was not good enough for resources poured into PVE

I get it now! The PVE was too good so they had to trim it down to a blizzard quality experience, thanks for opening my eyes 👁️👄👁️

i just hate Activision & blizzard because they lie and don't much ass

I loved OW1. I played that game even when people were dogging it during the content drought. I had so much fun, and when I heard about OW2 and how they were splitting the PVE from the PVP. I started to have my concerns. And I didn't like the free to play model with a battle pass much either. But I was still hopeful that the PVE could get me reinvested. But after this news I just uninstalled the game.

Only Blizzard could take a game that I (a fairly casual player) loved, and slowly killed it until I just stopped caring.

Don’t tell this guy that the story missions are 15 bucks for 3 missions.

Main reasons I don't play OW2: I can't unlock the new Heroes, I can't unlock new skins, the community became even more toxic to each other and it's a Blizzard game.

It's times like this, that I like to remind people that Halo 2 was made in 10 months.

I am tempted to believe they waited till the made a profit on OW2. Then decided to announce the cancelation.

It clearly took them a few years to look at how other games do battle passes and shop rotation and then maybe another year developing the worst ones possible

The worst thing about all this is they try to shift all the blame to Jeff Kaplan..that DUDE WAS “FIRED” 10 YEARS AGO. Just WTF have they been doing for the last couple years

I love how they talk about shifting from a large update to a seasonal release where ironically they could have done the same with the PvE content. Just drop the base PvE content with a few characters, and maps and add more with every seasonal update. You're a live service game after all..

PvE guy here. My friends and I played Overwatch mainly because the story and characters were amazing. We played pretty casually, but would drop the odd tenner on a skin here and there if we felt like we had some good fun.

When Overwatch 2 was released, we didn't download it because the only reason to would've been the PvE. With the announcement of the cancelling of said PvE, I don't think we'll ever play it again.

The icing on the cake for me is the fact that they didn’t even give us a genuine apology after all this, just damage control. Like they really don’t give a fuck about the people whatsoever.

2.2k people liked the OW2 vid and 32k dislike it. WHO THE HELL LIKE IT!!!

Jeff Kaplan would have never let this happen. I miss him.

they talked about starwatch more than the actual pve updates which shows how much they care about pve sadly

I was like "okay cool video I guess, more people are sharing the same sentiment I have and bringing it up" -  then 13:03 kicked in and FUCKING THANK YOU. Every content creator so far who ranted about the cancellation is just like "Oh I'm so upset :c" then proceeded to praise the roadmap because they can't leave this game or they lose their entire audience.
The way you talked here is the first genuine reaction I see, so kudos to you. This is exactly how I feel after these morons took a gem of a game and ruined it under every possible aspect. This is how I feel after sticking with a game in a comatose state for months just for everything to change for the worst in favour of greed and braindead balancing. I hope this serves as a good textbook tutorial on how to kill a successful game so maybe it won't happen for great future titles in the future. Fuck Bobby, fuck Blizzard.
