Well, this is hardly unexpected.

Still, considering how PvE was supposed to be the pillar of Overwatch "2", and the outwards-facing reason for the switchover, it's sad. There was actually some cool promise in those PvE ideas, and now even the "light" version seems to be cancelled.

Activision is burning the rope that is the ancient goodwill of Blizzard-fans at both ends.

Surprised there's any rope left for them to burn.

It's a long rope. Woven from decades of WoW, StarCraft and Diablo.

It'll run out soon. Mostly it's only been burning so slow cuz people have been in denial over the fact for so long.

Burned all of my rope with the battle.net "2.0" complete with Facebook integration, rmah, "get the game for free with a years subscription to world of Warcraft" and killing deckard Cain in act 2 of D3 (along with ACT 1 being the only ACT with any love put into it, and that being the entirety of the demo, also pretty clear that's when Activision bought blizzard)

Never played any of the sc2 expansions, never watched another blizzard tournament, never bought a wow expansion (after TBC), I lost a lot of really great memory associations, but the nostalgia isn't worth supporting the corpse-puppet of blizzard.
