    this is where you say “It failed because…”

    My assertion was that it was an imperfect hero shooter among many hero shooters. The more competition, the harder it is to enter a game.

      Gestures broadly

      Not really my responsibility to make an argument for you. Of all the reasons Overwatch 2 might not have performed well, it being a Hero Shooter doesn’t have any strong evidence and you didn’t provide anything showing that was the reason.

      One could argue Overwatch 2 being a Hero Shooter is why it didn’t perform worse than it already has, given its problems.
