    Overwatch 2 isn't 'Overwatch again' until its copies are disabled and replaced with Overwatch 3, which has the monetisation model of Overwatch 2 made free. 1 was the cost of the game, 2 would be premium skins I guess

        Overwatch is close to being a decade old btw.

        Itโ€™s so unfortunate what they did to Overwatch, wonder how Jeff Kaplan and the original Team feels about all that.

        IIRC he just washed his hands and moved on from it, which probably was the right call given the Acti-Blizz merger and Microsoft buyout.

          Counter-Strike would like a word.

          You can still play the old counterstrike games

            You can play 1.5, 1.6, Conditon Zero, and Source.

            You can't play Global Offensive anymore, afaik. It did the same thing OW2 did, getting replaced entirely by CS2.

            I believe CS:GO is still available through a beta branch of CS:2 but that the remaining custom servers are mostly empty.

              I gave up on this game a long time ago. It took me longer than it should've to realize that "old blizzard" is gone and not coming back.

              I took a long break from overwatch after the release of overwatch 2, but they have been made some big changes that have brought me back.

              No more heros locked behind battle passes, free loot boxes, 6v6, great performance, sound design and the new perk system is nice. The game is more balanced than it ever was as overwatch 1, even it it's still not perfect.

              I don't agree with everything, paid skins are absurdly expensive, and heros do seem designed to sell skins, but that's really not new either.

                I don't like CS2 either; but Global Offensive had already killed CS for me long before it was converted to CS2.

                In their defense, counter strike 1.5 and 1.6 existed. Condition zero as 1.7, source as 1.8, GO as 1.9 and now we are finally at two. ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

                    That the game "overwatch 2" is just a re-hash of the original "overwatch" game - not that it was renamed to be "overwatch"

                    I also had a hard time reading the post title, still think it's idiotic, but now it makes more sense to me. I couldn't understand what the original post title was trying to say.

                    Being a rehash/continuation of the same game was the case since Overwatch 2 came out as they dropped the PvE plans, so it wouldn't be news.

                      Well... They did try to make Terraria Otherworld, but that game got cancelled and they fell back into supporting Terraria because it keeps printing money.

                            I'm right there with you. I think the hamster was the last new hero I played with.

                            Those were good times.

                            Now they're adding a cat with a jetpack, which I would love if they gave her a better name than Jetpack Cat.

                                  There used to be an r/EmreMains when the name first appeared in lore. That must have been almost 5 years ago, and now they've finally released the hero. I don't know what they expected, but I'd figure that almost everyone who was there previously has moved on, I certainly have.

                                    I mean, to be clear, I never liked Overwatch. Back when it was new, my friends were so into it that playing it with them was the only way we'd spend any time together. They're the ones who miss that launch game, lol.
