I find it hilarious most Blizzard games were covering up the skin of characters while HOTS did stuff like release fan-service outfits for characters that would not fly in other Blizzard games.HotS died, in part, because it switched to OW1's monetization model in a effort to chase gamba$$$ but ironically made it too easy to get whatever you wanted. HotS also embarrassed the OW team by releasing Zarya with skins that were much more interesting than the simple texture changes available in OW at the time.

Damn dude, that was literally the selling point. There was no reason for that 2 next to its name. Though I get it, game production is complicated and hard and most likely they knew they wouldn't be able to deliver on a good experience so they're scrapping it for something else. I know I won't be digging into it, but I do hope the other thing they compensate will make the playerbase happy. --- DI MOLTO! ... Copied to Clipboard!

s0nicfan 05/16/23 6:21:15 PM #39: |
This just reinforces my pet theory that this was ALWAYS about rushing out a version of Overwatch without lootboxes because a bunch of countries were threatening to legislate them as gambling. It's right around when they announced it, it explains the "backwards compatibility" with OW1 (so that people in countries that allow lootboxes will keep using them), and explains why it was rushed out as soon as the lootbox controversy went away and they've since scrapped basically everything that would have made it stand out as a real product. --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz.
