Overwatch 2 - A New Era 

😊

Much love, Clarke. Thanks for being a part of one of my favorite games of all time 💜

I hope this is real because it's so wholesome

This is so awesome. Hope it can one day be recreated in whatever new game Jeff decides to delve in...

@@umplayful not true, they just happen to share names.

Boy, this one's gonna be an awkward screening.

Will you YTP the Fantastic Four movie since Jeff Kaplan is writing it?

Thank you for your service O7

I was so scared you may have finally left us like Jeff did 🥺

based

wait u need to pay for new heroes??????!!!! wtf okay nvm but you need to grind a lot asked on an german discord xD

So sad that this joke lands only because Blizzard has/had such a huge problem with sexual assault within their company.

@@d4mephisto Tragically true.

@@d4mephisto Yeah. Something that isn't nearly talked about enough.

wait.. was he also one of the assaulters..?

I do.

He’s gonna be the finale boss of the pve game mode

A very pretty shade of rouge, too.

@@PureRok thank you for pointing out my error. I'm gonna fix that

He sure has the charisma of a markov bot

Dr. Wallace Breen

Demanding to see your Overwatch 2 preorder.

honestly tho, my favorite line

Problem?

Absolutely brilliant 🤣

Blaming everything on Keller lacks nuance and negates the overt corporate practices Blizzard have now been emphasising more and more; people forget Kaplan, as brilliant as he was, made a lot of mistakes, including mistakes present in the development of Overwatch 2 that still exist today - Keller has largely just fulfilled what Kaplan wanted.

metaphorically*

Same.... I miss him

Jeff worked hard that’s for sure

Hurr durr, I wonder what happens to an IP when the LEAD is ousted. Among other great takes like, "Hey maybe Activision won't consume Blizzard's soul".

Brazy dickeating

Blizzard doesn't bother with emotions or how their players feel, they just want the dollars

I'm actually tearing up

True

Yeah all the short films from Overwatch are bad. You people are spoiled brats.

blizzard Literally made the game.

Overwatch "story"

For the love of Jeff and all that is holy please still make an Overwatch 2 video. My wife loves you guys!

I would love an Overwatch video by you guys too even if the pve isn't out yet. It's so much fun now I hope they fix all the technical issues soon

Your Overwatch 2 video reminded me that this video exists, so I came back to watch it, forgot what I was doing before, zoned out and scrolled down to the comments, and here you are to remind me that I was watching your Overwatch 2 video. That is some god-tier viewer retention right there.

@@StandardGaming HAHAHA This is the best. I just finished watching their video today and now you brought me back to the comment section of this video. Infinite loop

Here! XD

Why people going to ignore that the balance changes under him eventually led to millions and millions of people leave the game?

@@Aeeeoi Exactly. Jeff might be a nice guy and all, but those stretched out balance changes pleased no one. In fact practically everything they vocally said they enjoyed turned out to be the things players hated the most. I'm looking at you 2CP.

@@TheGiantBunnysaid Exactly. Jeff might be more of a good idea guy and not the best guy long term for a game. People want to say the lack of content killed the game, no, all the stuns and shields killed the game. You could see less and less people start playing as they introduced a new character that either had a stun or a shield or...BOTH. Like, they were giving people new heroes and still declining. Whose wise idea was it to give a support hero a stun and shield? Seriously? The game became hand holding around a chokepoint for minutes at a time. That got boring. How many of the people that streamed Overwatch still do so today? Only people that liked that are the low skill support players that didn't know how to deal with flanking and enjoyed hand holding around a choke point while being heal bots. Ok, now how many people that stream Valorant or CS:Go still do so today? Yeah. The game got boring. Adding new maps to do the same dance wasn't going to improve it. Adding more heroes that were going to either stun lock you to death or throw up some newly shaped shield wasn't going to help it. At the end of the day, the game started to decline because the gameplay failed it and that is on Jeff.

Hes the hero we have to unlock by winning 20 quickplay matches

He ruined the game with others. His intentions were great, delivery was utterly bad. Hes responsible for so many bad heros and boring metas. I cant help but deny that he was a good leader in the gaming industry. He was formal tho and a really nice guy.

>Actually selling your soul by playing OW2

nah

Let's not forget Dinoflask is like 90% chance was Kaplan.

@@PepicWalrus I never thought of that 😮

Which is why people let him get away with running OW into the ground and completely destroying it momentum

Hi evryone im Jeff from the Overwatch Team, i am drinking all of you guys tears in the comments

He knew what was going to happen. :(

Lmao

Such a great way to look at things.. Not just overwatch but there's always these situations of "You didn't know they're the good old days until they become the good old days" and what you're saying is absolutely true. If only that was the default reaction though

It feels like saying goodbye to a friend after highschool or something :(

@@merucrypoison296 more like an uncle or something's funeral. :( He felt like family even if he didn't know any of us.

What are you talking about, That was 100% real and a man has actually died.

imagine u r a public figure that cant say something publicly, but you have a very strong opinion on. u message a youtuber and pay him to deepfake you saying the things you want to say, publish the fake and say - its fake, i didnt say it. its fake. But somehow you kinda did and it warms ur heart. maybe Jeff would like to trash the new ow2 direction for real, but he cant maybe Ian McKellen wants to trash rings of power - now he watches his deepfake doing it and maybe feels happy

@@poopingducks funny thing im also a gamedesigner. Not of that caliber sadly tho.

I sure hope so

You know everything is going wrong when he makes a once in a life time comeback with Jeff Kaplan once again in the limelight

Um. No. He's doing basic bitch tier humor. Thank goodness I never subbed to this channel.

What? Normal? Did you watch the video? Have you been following Blizzard for the last 2 years?

It's looking like the final video to mark the end of Overwatch bruh

Why? There is no more Overwatch. Only a husk wearing a similar name.

@@somerandomgamer8504 Exactly. That's why we need him for one last video. Who better to hold the eulogy?

Out of all the content creators, dinoflask is definitely one of them

I got super worried with the "jeff died" fakeout at the end. Glad to see him still alive under the rubble. I really hope this continues at some point.

Jeff didn't impact pvp he had the team focus on pve

Jeff was very good but the way he saw overwatch wasn't going to help the game make big bucks

@@TheBest1972 Even though Overwatch was making money hand over fist. XD

@@jamesandrews5629 Making money at the first year is common, but what about 2020, 2021 and most of 2022? The game was dead, boring to play, and nobody was buying anything bro. You got to think about how to make money especially being a pvp game

@@TheBest1972 Yeah and given Blizzard's track record (Diablo: Immortal) It's to bleed people dry of their wallets a la EA.

The feelings behind it come from you, man. Be optimistic and open, and you'll get out of it what you put in. As a long time fan I'm nothing but excited

@@kendallcoombs9551 The feelings about it are muddied by the multibillion $ earnings Acti/Blizz gets every year and it's still not enough. Also by the fact that new heroes won't be available without ~60 hrs of gaming through the battle pass or you pay money. Even waiting until the season is over doesn't mean you can play the hero for nothing. In a role focused game like OW where counter picking is important, this inherently makes the playing field unfair. It's perfectly reasonable to be disappointed and frustrated with how things are going to be and it's got nothing to do with being "optimistic and open". I've played Acti/Blizz games for 20 years. The last OG Blizz devs that had influence and power to advocate for players rather than money are gone and it's very telling.

@@TheSwauzz this is exactly how I feel. Keller is the last of the OG team. I want to give him benefit of the doubt, and assume he's just there because he wants to see through to the end, but clearly he doesn't have enough influence to keep the monetization fully at bay. It feels like is past the time where it was a team of people trying to create a world for others to enjoy, and now it's just an established IP for a company to profit from. The PvE may prove there's still hope, but I'm not going to get my hopes up and risk disappointment.

@@kendallcoombs9551 Lmao, being THAT optimistic after what we've seen from these greedy mofos is just being naive.

STYLOSA SEND TOES

STY PLEASE

Wait did he actually run people over, or was that just a meme?

@@ReptillianStrike It's just the bit in this video. He didn't do that IRL

@@Cyndustries_ thats what Blizzard wants you to belive

I’ll never forget when he was shrek dancing around in the swamp singing about how he was a platinum

You pfp made me laugh

@@justfriccoff3363 coming from someone with a MaximillianMus pfp

@@HaHa-sm1jk Yes, and?

@@HaHa-sm1jk who are you

"Irvine Cali(almost cracks)fornia"

Me too i feel like In my comfort are so relax

It's his "customer service" mask, yeah.
