Well, they're back on track, and this time, it's the new Blizzard's MMO:

I just can't believe it. That's a fullpriced MMO that sells skin DLC for $20.
How can such thing come even close to 10/10?
While MMO, the game has no PvE just PvP.
To make things worse, lootbox scam aka gambling already seen in PVE's Star Wars Online is inside Overwatch. At least STO is free2play which means pay2win.
Are those people at Escapist blind or are they usually buying glass paying the price of diamonds?
Is there a gaming site not blind lately?
Already written on this in a Blizzard related thread (in which the claim that Warcraft 4 was being prepared by Blizzard was made)
Summary: Blizzard has taken the turn of new ways in playing video games. Players are less and less interested in gaming.
Players are more and more interested in making money off playing video products.
Blizzard market is now oriented toward providing products for a competitive scene.
In a nutshell, a competitive scene is funded by all the players who wont make it up to the professional status.
It is then necessary to design the product in such a way that it provides all time available lines of revenues.
This is one of the main issues with SC2. This product is not properly designed. It generates bursts of cash as the competitive scene is funded by the single player campaign feature. Beside that, no revenue.
Overwatch is meant to be a product that supports a competitive scene. Hence the schemes to generate lines of revenues, all time available.
As to pay to win, Overwatch is not that.
In Overwatch, players who win are paid to win. Players who win will turn professional players (either in a professional team or as professional streamers)
And they are paid by players who are going to buy skins or other stuff.
Overwatch has its qualities. Denying them because the design includes schemes to fund a professional scene makes no sense.
That's players who want to make money off playing video products. Blizzard provides a suitable product that is intended to generate revenues to fund the scene.
That is exactly what players desire.
Just for that point, it must 100 %.
