This quote from the article is exactly why I absolutely won’t bother with OW2–“free” or not:

"I somehow purchased Overwatch 1 for $40, which Blizzard then deleted and created this predatory microtransaction simulator instead"

For real! Give me back the original game I purchased!

Honestly, I would fucking pay for subscription if those cunts would've let me just to play original ow. Blizztards are the worst

Remember when they promised Overwatch players would be fine, and they wouldn't be forced to play OW2? Remember when they touted OW2 as being different for having the basis of PvE missions and more story based content?

I actually really wanted a story/lore filled fps. Tragic

So did I. Even though I had sort of fallen out of love with Overwatch at that point, I was actually pretty excited for the story/PvE stuff. Then to be presented with the steaming pile of dung they gave us was just an insult to me.
