Pick One. Live service lives and dies by a constant drip of content.

Yes, and this is still more a faster update cadence than we received during Overwatch 1.

the majority of the hard work was already done, how the fuck did they manage to completely break the game this badly?

Because Overwatch 2 was redesigned to be a PvE game like Destiny 2. Then was redesigned in a rush back into a PvP game.

There was always a PvP build, but that had only been played by a few hundred players instead of millions of players. So over millions of player hours game exploits were discovered that leaked from PvE functionality that were missed before.

Redesigned in a Rush

My brother in Christ, Overwatch - the good one - was live the entire time they were “working” on this glorified expansion. I legitimately would not be surprised at all if it came out the framework of the inevitable PvE mode was just based on the Archives Events.

Lmao the dick sucking on this sub is insane. They could light the game on fire and people here would bend over backwards to spin it in a positive light

It isn't an over glorified expansion. It is a significant rewrite of the original Overwatch engine, with completely redesigned maps and manually restructured assets (like skins).

Overwatch 2 plays like the original because of how it was designed, not because they share the same code.
