    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. 🤷‍♂️

        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.

                    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.

                      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.

                            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.

                                Because it's free to play and it's supposed to be a deterrent to smurfing.

                                  Right, which is why I thought it was weird there was an article being published about it and assumed it was untimely drivel since the game was released in 2022. Again, it didn't make sense to me as posted and I had to click into the article to sort it out.

                                  All that to say, it wasn't abundantly clear to me just based on the title of the post.

                                      Activision does that with all their games now.

                                      It’s the reason I won’t buy a new COD game.

                                        I wouldn't know anything about that, but with respect to the overwatch team, they don't seem to be implicated in that controversy.

                                        Example

                                        I can't imagine the fight for equality in game dev is over, but at the same time I haven't heard anything particularly controversial. If you have other evidence of wrong doing do let me know.

                                          Well Ana now has a perk that gives speed boost to nano. That combo has always been good, but with that it would be even better.
