As if modern Overwatch has much it can lose from a COD-centric influence. 😅 That game has nosedived so hard unter their internal pressure to prioritize e-sports and pro gamers above the current playerbase which at the time was a widest-net casual playerbase that made friends of all kinds play Overwatch together.

Good for the devs, seem to have worked out and secured their jobs at lea... oh. Well fuck Overwatch e-sports then.
