Reporter: What's behind Blizzard success, and how do you make your gamers happy?
Blizzard Boss: Making gamers happy is not my concern, making money.. yes!
I do love fps games but this OW is simply not good enough.I wouldn't say it is real bad but for me a long time pvp arena player,it does nothing well to get me to even want to play it for free.
Furthermore ,what is all this FREE banter,i can play UnrealTournament for FREE without pretending it is some gimmick or sale or SPECIAL offer.
You know who is behind UnrealTournament?The players,the actual pvp gamer's and amazing mappers that know how to make skillful great maps for fps combat.You know who makes Blizzard's game and maps....Blizzard,lol,enough said.
We have a choice,play a game designed by gamer's or one that is designed by businessmen....ummm easy choice for me..
Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.
So all this..wall-text , to tell us what we already know?
...that we have a choice? lol

We all know that it is not about the game. You don't like Blizzard. You HATE Blizzard. If a Blizzard employee comes and say hi to you you will kill him. You don't care if the game is good or not. The only thing you care about this game that it is made by Blizzard. I'm actually suprised a bit that you didn't try to compare this game with FFXI too. Well that's an improvement too I guess...
Supposedly 20mil copies sold, that's what, 5mil active players in a best case scenario now? /3 platforms, and the number doesn't even seen impressive anymore.
Oh and this game purely sold on marketing hype and the reviewers that were obviously paid very well. They made it seem like it's a GOTY material..which is just sad. I mean come on, I know it's been a pretty shitty year for PC, but there were still at least 10 better games that released this year. OW is just another mediocre shooter.
Those that wanted to try it out of curiosity are already long gone. A trial won't bring them back, or anyone else at this point.This is a game that is already declining.
There is no I in Team. But there is an "I" in pie. And there's an "I" in meat pie. Anagram of meat is team.
Brrrflp!
We found the CoD player!
Try to be excellent to everyone you meet. You never know what someone else has seen or endured.
My Review Manifesto
Follow me on Twitter if you dare.
Maybe it's a general problem with Blizzard's understanding of freedom and balance.
This isn't a signature, you just think it is.
Hero switching is one of my favorite Overwatch innovations. I love counter-swaps and being able to counter their counter-swaps. Beyond just countering heroes, you can try to coutner players that are being particularly effective. And it opens up tactical gameplay like using one hero for one point with the plan to switch to another for the other points (like, being locked into Symmetra would be horrible after the first point on defense on any map).

I mean a game is new for the first months , so it's absolutely normal for sales to slow down!
So why bother commenting ?!

Just to add: you are mistaking the term innovation for design decision. In general, to achieve innovation you need much more than a single choice.

The white knighting is strong in this thread, why so angry to chase others away that don't agree.
I really wanted to like Overwatch, especially since I'm fairly unsatisfied with the MMO scene. My daughter loves it, so I guess they scored a point there. I didn't enjoy it at all, which is a problem for me with Blizzard games right now. It's not that I hate Blizzard, they've taken their design philosophy to a younger bracket, appealing to them and making shallower games. I get it, kids make the majority of the gaming market. I would say Blizzard is doing exactly what they wanted, except my daughters game just sits and collects dust now.
... and is hard for me to believe that not 1 game from all of the 6 Blizzard games , you actually don't like because the design philosophy.
Is called "idontlikethatcompanyanymoreeveniftheybringthebestgameintheworld" ! Take it or leave it .
I mean, I am taking me as an exemple! I hate gameforge & aria games, I also don't like Trion at all. They can have the best game in the world, but I will not touch it if is published and/or developed by those 3 !
It's quite simple! I get it!
PS: I am wondering, how would you describe a "mature" game?! I mean, I have 34 years old and I play WoW, D3, Heroes of the Storm & Overwatch ( Hah! Not all of those in the same time . Just WoW now and D3+HoTs+Overwatch here and there! ) , and I find them pretty .. good for any age, not just my age, or "kids" age !
So .. let's see some "mature" games exemples here, shall we?
