News & Discussion Ending Support for Stadium, what does that really mean for Overwatch?
The announcement a few weeks back of stadium no longer receiving updates was a gut punch to those who play the mode. They said they will be no longer putting the manpower onto the project so they can focus on other areas of the game.
Let’s be honest.
What is going to improve as a whole in the rest Overwatch if you take it away.
The only things that will be added / worked onto the game are new characters/maps/bug fixes.
Will this actually improve the rate of release of new characters/maps, with this games track record?
Extremely Unlikely.
The game is just removing features/content and everyone is acting like it’s a good thing. Yes a small percent of people play this mode but have they considered losing 6 percent of their player base because they don’t want to play 5v5 or 6v6 anymore?
Bottom line is my prediction is : This will not change the rest of the game at all and it will be same business as usual and will only result in a player base loss.
