GR: "Recent #BoycottBlizard protests saw people on Twitter swearing up and down that they were uninstalling every Activision Blizzard title from their gaming systems. However, the Overwatch 2 and Diablo 4 fan reaction was as positive as can be."
Overwatch 2's newest update for Season 10 comes with big changes and additions to the game's competitive matchmaking and progression.
Blizzard Entertainment has recently announced the discontinuation of the Hero Mastery Gauntlet mode in Overwatch 2.
They will probably focus 100% on the pvp because if Marvel Rivals steals their spot it will be very hard to recover it
Marvels IP roster is much more interesting than overwatch's... and I'm willing to bet a better developer than actvision/blizzard. If Rivals has a PvE mode its over.
Microtransactions have gotten ridiculously overpriced in recent years, with titles now offering cosmetic skins worth more than some games.
There never was, the only time I paid for a microtransaction was on Blacklight Retribution (PS4) and it was because I enjoyed the game a lot so I felt the devs should get something for all that entertainment (€5 "membership")
I couldn’t believe what Blizzard charged for horse armor and cosmetics in Diablo 4…
I remember back in the day when a season pass was $15 and you got everything included in it. Now, I see them at $60 and you still don’t get everything.
As soon as gaming wasn't deemed nerdy anymore, and reached the casuals this happened. We're smart, but casuals play mobile games and other stuff, and don't really have anything to compare. They think gaming is supposed to be like this and pay for in game purchases.
Selfish zombies...
I totally buy that it was a coincidence these two titles were announced right after the controversy, it's like they knew they could get away with what they did. Hmm...
Anyway, like Gillette and other companies they will not be getting another penny from me again.
gamers are weak. most of them depressed, privileged babies that will throw a tantrum over something as small as the main character of their favorite franchise not being the main character anymore. who really expected them to take a serious stand on something like human rights?
I thought everyone knew that the rabid, howling online masses only represent at best 5-10% of a company's consumers.
Well realistically what do you expect? Has there ever been a time where something as popular as Blizzard IPs lose the majority of it's popularity almost over night due to controversy?
