It started with world of warcraft. First they made good games. Then they focused so much at creating world of warcraft MMO, to revolutionize the genre, that they overhired. 1/2 of the company become just wow crew. After Wow succeeded, it got even worse. 80% of the company become wow, and people initially working there on other productions got tired of it and left or got kicked out to make more space for even more wow crew. Wow crew took over, realized all this shit can be monetized, started hiring people according to "equality" culture just to look good. "Don't you get phones?" happened. They "tried" to get back to the old ways somehow? But the people from the SC1 days and W3 days were gone. We got Reforged failure. Downhill slope from there onward. The end.

Thank you for publically talking about downfall of greedy company that doesent respect their players.

This is captialism not sure what else you can expect

I hate blizzard for what they did to overwatch

I know it's not the popular opinion but I think it's a good thing that Microsoft fired lots of AB. They were going downhill, they owned them, and it's their initiative to do whatever they feel is better for the company. Elon Musk fired like >70% of Twitter and it's still running just fine. Similarly, blizzard games haven't changed for the worse since then. They're the same. Seems like a lot of people gone that didn't have an impact. Again, this is just a view as a consumer. I do feel bad for those who got fired but it's part of the business. Good for the games (hopefully) but feels bad for those who were devastated.

the reach is beyond 10 feet. dude this game has been dead and will stay dead. this game has never seen over 400k active players (edit even after the update the highest all time peak is 458k 💀💀😭)

I really like new worlds atmosphere and art style.

As an owner of the original Marathon Trilogy, discs and all, the game died for me when I heard it was an extraction shooter

The problem is people won't stop buying skins. If it stopped providing value it wouldn't be a focus. Their mindset is terrible and the players keep making it worth it

Unfortunately some blame is on us, consumers as well. Because there are many who pay that price for a recolor and they don’t even think about it.

I try not to remember blitz crank.

its not THAT bad, the morheim thing is an old case. the past is the past I only care about the now

At least we get more content in ow2 then ow1 for yrs

I do wonder if we'll ever see Blizzcon or Blizzard the way they used to be again. Great video and thanks for sharing your insights!

Bigger team bigger problems too many ideas clashing with each other to make something that should be seamless

I want this game to succeed, not for Bungie as a company/leadership but for the devs who poured blood and sweat into this. Because if it flops P. Parson will still be there but everyone else will lose their jobs.

YOU SUCK. imagine saying bad things about greed but being the greediest jew out there

Your pissed at them selling skins, In a free to play game? What would you rather they sell then, Power, Gear or Item Upgrades to increase your power, Cause they did that Diablo Immortal. That seemed better...

technically the pve was them trying to sell us maps

Dude has an amazing ability to yap without saying anything

Blizzard 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I poured so many hours into Overwatch. It really sucks what Ow2 turned into. I gave up altogether when they announced there wouldn’t be PVE. The worst part, is knowing in the past I was part of the problem. I spent $100 on loot boxes. Which only gave credence to bad monetization practices. I spent much more than that on COD skins too. Making it worse.

I was huge OW fan. After they announced sequel my first thoughts were "Why?". Later on it was 5 vs 5, original game shutting down, f2p, etc... I was like "Okay, this seems really bad. But at least I give it a try." The first time I launched the game and saw the shops, cosmetics, and battlepass I knew this is bad. This isn't OW anymore. Gameplay felt so weird too, like Overwatch 0.5. I have watched trailers and new heroes but haven't touched the game ever since. And there isn't even going to have any "story mode"... So sad.

I said it ages ago I will say it again, Jeff leaving is the death of overwatch. Kojima left konami, and konami gave us metal gear survive (trash game). Metal Gear is dead. The same thing is happening to overwatch, overwatch 2 is metal gear survive.

one by one by one everyone stepped down.

Im done with that game, once all for all, been playing since le ov1 launch, but im done with what they call a game

This season is probably the last one I'll complete the battle pass all the way to 80. Then I'll just play the game ultra casually. Been 8 years. My investment level in a game will never exceed the investment level of the developer. Not about to entertain that. Playing this game seriously amounts to that. Not about that life.

Missed opportunity not to have the screen have huge letters that say something in the reflection lol ik it’s probably the script or notes 😂 but still

If you think Blizzard hasn’t always been about $$$ from the beginning then you just haven’t been paying attention. They have always designed their games to be addictive as possible. Using every psychological tactics they can think of to keep you coming back. They have always used the most effective monetization tactics of the time period to keep the revenue coming. In the 90s that tactic was expansions which they heavily focused on. In the early 2000s it was subscription fees with WoW (and also expansions). In the 2010s it was loot boxes and focusing on the mobile market. In the 2020s it’s now free to play, battlepasses, and shops. They have ALWAYS utilized the monetization tactics of the time to maximize revenue. It just seems like Blizzard has gotten more scummy because the industry tactics have just gotten more scummy. But Blizzard is doing now what they have always done from the beginning. They look at the monetization trends of the time and they pursue them aggressively while intentionally designing their games to be as addictive as possible so people spend more and more money over a longer period of time. And you can bet your ass whatever popular monetization tactics pop up after this current trend ends, Blizzard will be right there adding it to their games.

blizzard is not the problem, we are. We buy the overpriced skins

I wish I appreciated the dead period of OW1 when they were developing OW2, I was enjoying my final moments of a monumental game before it's decent into a massive pile of monetized dogshit and didn't even realize it.

If you don't do drugs, you don't need the sunglasses ;) To stay on topic: After the fact, everyone was seeing the developments. If so, then why did no one try to stop them? And it's sad to see, that the lie of Blizzard vs. Activision is still alive. The companies merged. They became one, in simple terms. There was no Blizzard vs. Activision.

HD2 is more fun then ever... Even full of everything items I play every day just for the fun!

Them charging £34 for a gun skin with a spiny hand movement is insane 👀 They can kiss my ass on that. (granted I think they allowed prisms) that's still a fucking joke.. I wouldn't be suprised if theyre testing to see if we'd pay the £34 for it especially since most people spent their prisms on the reaper skin or the rein weapon skin.

$60AUD FOR A WEAPON IN OW A WEAAAAPON

look another "blizzard doomer" video, skip.

Can’t get mad at them we can only get mad at ourselves for buying them. If it wasn’t profitable they wouldn’t do it. If you all want them to care about gameplay stop mass buying skins. Dollars speak louder than words unfortunately

overwatch is death, they have nothing to offer, skins are not content

When activision blizzard and ubisoft goes under, i would take out the world smallest violin and play it

Good morning sty, looking great today!

can they js allow em to use kbm on console but w no aim assist like not that hard

get a new couch

Kotick is a parasite.

I actually don't feel bad I loved Blizzard, I still play Starcraft 2, I wanna resub to WoW, I am gonna get Reforged. I still collect Overwatch toys but after losing Hero Missions and seeing the future of hyper cosmetic monetization. I'm just done. I still haven't uninstalled Overwatch 2 yet, I gotta say goodbye to my mains. But I don't think I'm seeing them again.

Where does this suddenly some from. Guy is hyper aggressive and radicalized. Hope he gets some help soon.

The gaming industry only cares about money, and FPS need to make as much as Valorant and other battle pass games. They take good idea and squeeze it for profit, and it begs with FIFA, micro transactions, and loot boxes. It is essentially gambling, and legally it should be treated as such (not allowed under 18)

I wear my sunglasses when I record

Comment before watching the video, I’m so sick of this money grabbing company that today after six years playing and buying every single widow skin, to uninstall this game. It’s not fun anymore and feels like a second job. I’m already sick of my current one XD why go to grind again after work hours? Hahahahaha doesn’t make sense at all

Charming is the last thing I would call Bobby.

If we just said NO to Jews. The world would be a better place. Just say NO
