      As if modern Overwatch has much it can lose from a COD-centric influence. 😅 That game has nosedived so hard unter their internal pressure to prioritize e-sports and pro gamers above the current playerbase which at the time was a widest-net casual playerbase that made friends of all kinds play Overwatch together.

      Good for the devs, seem to have worked out and secured their jobs at lea… oh. Well fuck Overwatch e-sports then.

          I erased my original reply twice. You’re right, I stopped playing because I found all the cosmetics ridiculous and repulsive.

          What, you don’t want to run around as Homelander or Nikki Minaj? They perfectly fit in with the feel of a semi-tactical first person shooter!

        No they weren’t. Unless you mean COD4 and the OG MW2 and 3. Sure.

        The franchise has been held up by marketing cash and DOD money for a while now, and it sucks ass.
