  this is where you say “It failed because…”

  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.

      1. Blizzard is bad at balancing the game - could be true of any game, doesn’t have to be a shooter

      2. Blizzard cancels promised mode - Blizzard being bad at design and following through on promises.

      3. See 1.

      4. Forcing a game to become the sequel, not making meaningful changes other than monetization

      5. See 1

      6. Blizzard made a bad game

      None of these are a result of Overwatch 2 being a shooter, and all of them are a result of Blizzard being shit at making quality games, caring about players, and following through on promises. So thank you, you have done a fantastic job demonstrating that Overwatch 2 being a shooter is not the reason it didn’t perform well.
