First clip said it all, it was just a cash grab scam, this game has just become a joke, this isnt the game that won game of the year in 2016 this is a copy paste battlepass live service game
eh... people always say this... "dead game" "x killed x" and all other similar things is so oversaid, it's still going strong and it will for a very long time no matter what they do cause some are too invested and some just genuinely enjoy the game and since it's still getting updates, that is enough to be alive no matter how much people want to say it's dead
It's just a generic and mediocre live-service game now, it's not dead, but the dedicated player base who once loved the game for the gameplay, isn't going to stick with it anymore You could argue that no game is dead as long as there are players, but that's not what someone mean when they say the game died
@@miagui1808 i mean personally i view it like this, lets take hots, it has very dedicated players, i can still find games and shit, but it's not a growing playerbase and it's small and most importantly the game isn't receiving updates. if a game has a decreasing playerbase, a TOO small playerbase, or isn't recieving updates at all, it is dying imo. and dead dead: is not a single player in the world, or if the makers literally shut down the servers or just make the game ACTUALLY unplayable. overwatch is NONE of this, the playerbase isnt small and is rising in numbers, it's getting updated, sure the name is run through the dirt and reputation is in ruins but the nonvocal people who just plays games just dont give a shit and still play the game, overwatch isn't dead, isn't dying or anything, at least not by the definition that makes sense to me, it's growing, it's alive, it's living.
0:30 woah woah woah. When was that time? We were a group of like 5-6 people who played on a daily basis and none of us wanted it and left because of how nasty a scam it was. We didnt even know PvE was scrapped and thought it was the worst thing we had seen in gaming.
The marketing thing was the one that got me the most. I quit about a year into Overwatch 1, never really cared for it, but because of how popular it was online, I kinda kept up, poked my head through once every few months to see what was happening, then left again. They hyped it up so much, all for what? They made it seem like the second coming of Christ, all for what? I’m working on building my own community online. I’m testing an idea which hasn’t been proven to work, I’m taking a risk, but we don’t see success unless we take risks. As such, I’m adjusting how much attention I’m drawing to the project so I don’t get my users too hyped, just to possibly be disappointed if this idea falls through. If Blizzard wants to hype it up that much, make it worth the hype.
it's not dead, but it has fallen off A LOT from what it used to be. The game is just mediocre now, a Barbie Doll Simulator, and it will live on maintenance mode by bumping Mercy skins and recolors, with the player base being mostly casuals that join to finish the Battle Pass or buy skins, and then leave once they're done, only to come back on the start of the next season to see what's new you could say that's the normal behavior on most games? yes, but these games still have a dedicated player base who enjoys the game even though they're already done with the season, because they genuinely like the gameplay and want to grind competitive, but that's not how it is anymore for OW. These type of players are leaving and will migrate to other games with a better gameplay, such as Marvel Rivals or whatever
Unfortunately it's not really possible to just listen to the community on hero buffs or nerfs. You have multiple skill groups from bronze to T500. And if bronze would fuss over dva needing buffs for some reason. They would completely lose T500 players if they buffed dva. So it's not just listen to the community, they have to find the right voices in the sea which isn't always easy to do. Of course games should try focus buffs for the casual players because there are more of them then top players.
Yeah you’re right. It is much more complicated than how I put it. I’m just trying to make the point that if they listened to feedback they could at least make a lot of the problems people have less even if they aren’t perfect with their changes.
I just uninstalled OW 2....again. I just hope I never get the itch again. Every game felt awful even if I won the game, no matter the role, and stopped caring about skins ever since the shop began. And counterwatch is just, "Hey play the new heroes cause the old OW1 heroes are not optimized." Every game became a Mauga, Kiriko, Ana, and the dps didn't matter, tho normally its Cassidy and Venture+.
@@CosmicYT9 yeah, maybe. I started at possibly the worst time (GOATS) so I never experienced 2016 OW, but since I was placed bronze on ranked, I just played reaper and climbed to plat with him. Now it feels like you need to pick Widow/Soujurn/Ashe to make a difference as DPS, cause heroes like Genji feel even worse, since supports are just DPS with better cooldowns. Every hero I liked is down. Genji: Blade is worthless. Reaper: GL ever getting close enough while your loud footsteps don't attract the whole enemy team. Rein: Every squishy now has a movement ability and all tanks are damaging you while you have to close the distance.
I played overwatch 2 the moment it released I was so hyped for pve I thought I might as well get good at the game and hell I got to diamond before they """"""released""""" it but yeah... the hype quickly faded and now all I do is like coach some newbies from time to time
I disagree. I could yap and yap on about my personal reasons for why i dont think the game is dead, or list that the steam stats/player count/streamers are still around a good level, and that the only people leaving are the ones that can't bare it, but overall i just disagree. I think it's fine to think "this game is dead to me" after all it's done to it's OW1 playerbase. but I wouldn't say that means the game is dead. that just means the game is dead to you. and this results in pretty big divide between the new playerbase that thinks the game has flaws but still plays it, and the veterans who have been HEAVILY mistreated by OW, and are leaving because they're basically retiring. I could keep listing off random reasons, or statistics, but I'm just going to say this. what's above ^ isn't the real reason for why i think the game isn't dead. that paragraph is just a couple of reasons i could potenntially defend myself with. but honestly, it's not whether i think it's dead or not. cause i couldn't tell. but I dont feel like the game is dead. I feel like there's still some hope left in a small margin of the community. I'm not saying i have that same hope. but I feel that this game isn't dead.
1. Overwatch still has an active playerbase, averaging well over tens of thousands daily. 2. The game is FREE. So Blizzard isn’t even making money at this point (sans a few skin packs which are merely cosmetic) 3. No one is forcing you to play. Go mess around in Fortnite instead of raging about ow? 4. Blizzard isn’t obligated to give you anything (read 2)
damn you're really clever for bringing these points, these surely are words that mean something the copium around the community is unmeasurable high It's fine if you like to play rock paper scissors with extra steps, but don't pretend the game is fine and there's no reason that thousands of videos about OW decline are surging

Yeah they just wanted an excuse to make more money by changing the shop and battle pass

Yeah I know… they hype everything up and it’s almost always a letdown
to be fair, they fixed the grind times to get the premium currency slightly, although it's still absolutely horrible
Yeah I calculated from the one at release lol
you hit the algorithm, keep uploading 🙏
That's the plan!
jeez, people need to stop milking this already
And people wonder why boycotts never have any staying power.
yeah, blizzard really did try milking this game, but it killed it.
@@franklinclinton3211 no concord was killed Overwatch is still going on

I agree, just imagine what it could’ve been if it was treated properly

I know it’s so hard to stop playing because you just hope it will go back to how it was. It’s like an addiction trying to recreate that first high lol
@@CosmicYT9 yeah, maybe. I started at possibly the worst time (GOATS) so I never experienced 2016 OW, but since I was placed bronze on ranked, I just played reaper and climbed to plat with him.
