I feel genuinely bad for the devs who watched six years of work get scrapped for a higher-up’s profit

Don't you just love when you give a company thats worth 61.8 billion dollars 4 years and they deliver absolutely nothing?

So if i understood video properly, things between higher-ups and devs went like this: Don't give team resources -> Devs miss deadlines -> Take away people from the team for missing deadlines and not lower expectations -> People quit and more deadlines are missed -> Cancel entire project for missing deadlines As disappointed as i am by this news, I'm not surprised that it was the cause

They’re only a Small indie company so lets cut them some slack

if I had a dollar for every time a game got screwed or changed because of the executives demand, I'd be an executive myself.

I really feel for the developers. They got whipped by the greedy execs and ended up paying for the blame

Was blown away when I learned that the sole reason for OW2 wasn't gonna exist anymore, really makes it seem like a long game they were playing to make extra money

This news gives me depression for the gaming industry as a whole. Ambitious projects have been failing to reach their end goals, it’s now going to be more difficult to sell an amazing idea to a team if none of them believe it will see the light of day leading to playing it safe for monetary gain rather then putting out a passionate work of art

I really wish the devs were allowed to out the higher ups responsible for these decisions. It’s not fair that the devs have to come out and take the heat from the community when the ones pulling the strings get to hide in anonymity

Yep, that's Activision/Blizzard for ya. They have so many hyper talented devs in their midst and yet they squander them in the worst way possible every time. I still hope and pray that Raven Software will be freed from the CoD mines by Microsoft so that we can get a return to form similar to Id Software

You got pretty much everything right besides one thing, Overwatch PvP is not getting more content then ever. What they actually did was by cutting the PvE content they are restoring the PvP content release schedule to what OW1 had before being put on the back burner. 3 heroes a year was the standard before they switched development to OW2, and 3 heroes a year is what we will be getting from now on.

i keep forgetting that this channel at its core is an overwatch channel, its nice to hear the human voice for this one because circumstances like this are what ruins triple a games forever

So instead of cutting back and maybe not having 50 abilities *per character*, they just scrapped the entire thing? I think the community would have been happy with like, 2-3 variations of each existing ability and maybe a few passive effects. The main draw was really the story building and fleshing out the world and lore.

Moral of the story.... "Do NOT make promises if you cannot or have NO intention of keeping them"!!

Well at least I can take solace in knowing that it was the fault of the idiotic management and not the devs

I would be more enthused if this has been a recent decision, but it was made 1.5 years ago. What we are seeing now in the PVP side IS them focusing on it - lifeweaver, starwatch, this is the result of them being fully dedicated for over a year to the PVP At the end of the day, they are going to strip Overwatch down to 25% of what was promised, and then STILL underdeliver but like sirswag, I'm a filthy OW stan so I will probably still be here

For those disappointed about the cancellation of OW2 PvE and still looking for a good PvE game I highly recommend Deep Rock Galactic

Corperate heads when the line on the graph isn't completely vertical: "Cut everything, this project is worthless."
