Well, right now you know, a billion flies can't be wrong...

They make shit games with shit practices because people keep playing and paying for them.

Yeah well I'm willing to guess that a good chunk of those players moved from battle.net to steam for convenience.

And even so, Overwatch 2 has barely half the active players that tf2 does, as I'm writing this, and tf2 is how old?

Overwatch 2 went down the drain and now we have some rough numbers to give us an idea of the situation.
