Re: Now that it is over, what are your plans?

I don't really have an agenda to not play, but I haven't been playing.

I admit, sometimes grinding keeps me going, but the problem here is, I see nothing much worth pursuing without a viable Ranked system.  I haven't even come by for Control, which is my favorite game mode.

What's distracted me is Overwatch 2, which, by the way, is REALLY BAD. I mean, if you believe what is being said about it.  Honestly, what it really is, is, just the exact same.  It's called 2, but it really is Overwatch 1.  Not even Overwatch 1.1,  It's Overwatch, with a patch, and Overwatch had patches and will continue to have patches.  That's really what the rage is all about, the stupid hype train Blizzard wanted everyone to jump on, and then delivered...truly nothing.

OW2 is a battle pass format now, because, again, if you are a vapor breathing company executive, then you think that's how you 'monetize' a game.  (quick aside here....how much 'monetization' happened after killing OW, then never having OW 2 break even close to the popularity of OW1?...I'm betting a lot less...genius).  Now what that means is I can play OW2 with spending...none more money.  But I'M THE PRODUCT! Right?  Except here's the problem, also, great big thinkers of monetization....if you have a bunch of games all doing the same thing, getting people to wander from 1 game to another, because they mostly suck, rather than locking into your game, because it's good.....how does that work either?  What would you like to do now? Throw me commercials like Candy Crush?

Point is, neither Apex or Overwatch have had staying power.  Right now, I wandered to OW because it's different, and because I used to play it a lot.  I expect it will wear down in interest again, but in the meantime, yeah, I don't need to be worrying about no Ranked play Apex, or SPESHUL EVENTZ for SENDING UZ MONEY!  Not in either game.
