    14th on the global top seller’s list for Steam. https://store.steampowered.com/search/?os=win&supportedlang=english&filter=globaltopsellers&ndl=1

    They’re still making money despite the crying because people still play it. Right now there’s over 350,000 players in the past hour. On release they earned over 100 million dollars in 3 months…

    I hate that people play and encourage shitty practices. I stopped all blizzard support a while ago because they are not what they once were. Larian is the company to support… for now until they get terrible.

    Am I missing something? I’ve never played it on steam but the game is free and enjoyable; I’ve yet to feel obligated to spend any money on microtransactions.

      Yeah they changed some stuff people got pissed off over, but I still think the game is fun to play. There’s no way it’s objectively the worst game on Steam, the fanbase is just overly butthurt.

      The problem I think is that they’ve promised a coop story mode, which was to be the defining feature of it. They cancelled it, so it’s just overmatch. They also decided to change the team size to a more standard 5 instead of the previous 6, which means some friend groups probably have to break up

    Yeah, I like overwatch, have gotten my money’s worth from it and the steam integration makes it so much easier to run on Linux, so I’m happy with it.
