Not sure where the official announcement of this happened, but videos and discussions of the game are now finally allowed. The game is still invite-only, but expect to start seeing it all over the place now. Popular streamers are already jumping into it.

Honestly, paying for a (primarily) multiplayer game isn't a problem for me. I actually might prefer it when you look at Overwatch vs Overwatch 2. But I wasn't about to sign up for a playstation account to play my Steam game.

You're talking like ow2 isn't literally the same game. I paid for ow1 and can't go back to it.

I think that's what makes it such a good point of comparison though. It's titled differently and we were promised it would be different, but all that really happened was they changed their monetization tactics. And maybe it's just nostalgia, but I remember liking Overwatch when it came out, but now I have almost zero interest in playing Overwatch 2, even though I've gone back to it a few times just to give it a try.
