After announcing the release date for Overwatch 2: Invasion over the weekend, Blizzard has now confirmed you’ll have to pay for the new PvE content.

Nah, not really. If they ever come out with some good, story-based PVE that’s worth the price though in the future, I might take a second look. But not with the bait and switch they’re pulling right now.

Thousands of hours in OW1. Stopped after playing one game of OW2 in a beta test though. One game was enough for me to uninstall 1 and kick the habit.
Everything felt worse and they massacred my main. The game was a shell of what the original one was and I’m so bummed it replaced and erased the great game that once existed.
Haven’t played or followed it since except for the dumb things actiblizz does with it that make the news.

Nope I use to play daily and now I don’t even think about it. Something about OW2 left me with a bad taste.

Yeah, I hopped on OW1 about 6-10mo after launch and played daily until a year or so before OW2 launch when I got tired of no real updates. Just got my Gold border, endorsement level was perma-5 from playing support, had almost every item in the game save for a few emotes and voicelines.
Tried OW2’s beta, didn’t like it much but fuck it, games change.
Then everything happened. Over and over. And over.
20 mins before OW1 went down I logged in, blew every gold I had on whatever items I was missing, uninstalled it and battle.net and haven’t touched it since.

I stopped playing OW around 2018, but a friend of mine was really into well into this year with OW2.
I’ve noticed they’ve stopped playing after the recent news about OW2 though.- Graf_Fiker ( @Graf_Fiker@kbin.social ) 2•1 year ago
The same year i stopped playin, and i was playing since beta.
I gave OW2 a try when it was launched last year and i like it still today even it’s not what it was promised to be, Lizzard should drop the “2” from the name.

I’m still pretty into the game - I really enjoy its core gameplay. And I didn’t even buy the Battle pass, this time around, as I don’t like the rewards.
I do not still care about Overwatch. I played a ton of OW1 + OW2 but eventually the lack of good matchmaking and other kinds of rust around the gameplay drove me away as Blizz rides their last properties into the ground
