I guess they're giving up on convincing people to download their launcher.

I mean that's cool an all, but why not mark the occasion by giving us Overwatch 1 back? That'd be real neato

Maybe it will come back as Overwatch classic.

That's optimistic thinking about OW2, people clearly wanted OW1 to continue.

I’m referencing another classic Blizzard gaffe

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

ah, wasn't aware of that one. I never was a fan of Blizzard, back when they were in their hayday, I was mostly a console kid. I didn't really get into pc games until late into XP era, and even then our family didn't have that much money, so I rarely got new games... And when I was able to upgrade to a win7 machine, several years into its existence, Blizzard already had a somewhat tarnished reputation and I wasn't really interested in their games anyway...

A great chance to buy all your classic OW1 skins again.
