I bought Overwatch on PlayStation, Xbox, Switch, and PC. I also bought it for my daughter on PC. We would play online together.
I would then buy myself and my daughter each a big loot box pack when there was a new event (Halloween, Christmas, etc.) so that we could get some fun cosmetics.
I paid A LOT of money for Overwatch.
Blizzard then killed off the game. It's gone. We cannot play it, ever again.
In its place is now Overwatch 2. It looks similar, but it plays differently and has new mechanics and a whole-new monetary system that locks gameplay elements behind a paywall.
The game now being "free" for everyone to download doesn't make anything about it better. And it certainly doesn't make up for the fact that the old game is gone.
plenty of games have made the transition from paid to f2p and lots of those have also been acompanied by large overhauls/patches. none of them i remember have had as large a backlash as overwatch did.
As of April 2022, Blizzard had apparently sold over 50,000,000 copies of Overwatch. That means it is one of the best-selling games of all time. That is over 50,000,000 copies now gone. Of course you're going to hear a LOT of complaints.
Were any of those other games you're talking about as big as Overwatch? Were they as successful as Overwatch? I really doubt they had anywhere near the player-base as Overwatch.
Lots of companies switch games around. Many times it's because they are financially hurting or otherwise need a way to increase funding.
Blizzard had a massive hit and also promised updates to make the game even better.
After years and years of promising this, Blizzard basically told all their customers psych.
Not only was the big PvE mode not coming, they very game they were already playing all these years was also going away.
