It’s crazy how OW was such a presence in culture for a few years, then Blizzard dropped the ball and now it’s just a laughing stock that’s mostly popular with porn animators. They should tell the devs to stop stealing breast milk and sexually harassing women and do their jobs instead.

That was about the last time it seemed somewhat believable outside of the credulous fandom that there might be more story incoming past the hype trailers, too.
