According to one player, “the primary reason this game was called Overwatch 2 was the announced and overly advertised PvE missions, with the new hero skill trees, customizable abilities, and hero progression, and then after over 3 YEARS of waiting, basically everything PvE-related that was announced in this trailer was canceled.” This statement was made in reference to the fact that the PvE missions that were announced in the trailer were scrapped.

Another user commented, “They released Overwatch 2 using the free-to-play business model, which leans more heavily into microtransactions, overpriced skins, and predatory behavior.” To make matters even worse, they disabled the initial game, rendering it unusable even for those who had already purchased it. This means that the player base will need to transition to this free-to-play business model in order to continue playing the game.
