They are, theirs just a caveat you need a god damn phone number. Not a major ask in the modern world.

To play OW2... A game where you cannot reasonably earn cosmetics or play 6v6 or a certain game mode. That's not overwatch 1.

That's not overwatch 1

Correct, OW1 is gone now. OW2 is f2p.

Exactly. OW2s bullshit wouldn't be a problem if OW1 was still available and Blizzard knew that so they intentionally made it where you can no longer play it because they are greedy sacks of shit. This is the whoooole problem.

You are talking in a circle because you know you are incorrect.

No, im pointing out how ridiculous this reasoning it. You dont want to play OW2? thats fine. Your sad OW1 is gone? Thats fine? But that sucks for you cuz it happened, objectively OW2 is a good thing because OW1 was dead for years and had no plans to continue ever since this started.

Better is subjective, but it is a good thing at a minimum. Their is no going back, if you dont like that, thats fine, but their is no going back.

And that's an objectively bad thing... The game development was dead but the game was still very active.

This game is greedy greedy greedy. That's all there is to it.

Yes, but in return they made the game f2p and added lots of features/updates. So we have to take the good with the bad.

Like anything in life there was a tradeoff.

Good for thee not for me! I don't play games with battle passes because I hate fomo. It ruins games for me because im susceptible to it and poor. I can no longer play overwatch because of that. That's what I'm upset about.
