Or… They simply don’t care about Overwatch, and play Rivals casually instead, like me. It’s not exactly a black and white scenario here.
Are they asking viewers to watch for 24 hours as well?
Ironically, this could be what saves Overwatch.
And you didn't think to check and see if it was a trend or anomaly? You also know NetEase and Rivals aren't going anywhere, right? NetEase is based in China, they are closing studios and production outside of China, so "not long for this world" is a hilarious take.I literally just loaded Twitch and that's what it showed.
NetEase Could Cause The Closure of 'More Than A Dozen Studios', Report Claims
It has been claimed in a recent report that NetEase's attempts to divest overseas studios could lead to more than a dozen firms facing closure.
Exactly this.
It got old quick. It's one of the most blatant ripoffs of another game that I've ever seen. Uninstalled it after probably 4 matches.
Lmao. Or...people wanted a fun game that happened to also include cool looking popular characters?
Yeah, Twitch numbers can help point towards popularity, but I don't think it's the best avenue to use when gauging if one product is better than the other. Especially if both are still successful to some degree.
Netease is not imploding, they don't need us anymore.
With NetEase imploding the game's future is uncertain. They laid off all of their US-based developers and NetEase might not be long for this world.
OW2 brought back loot boxes (remember when people HATED those?) and is making some big changes that seem to be well accepted so far.
Of course someone is going to post Steam CCU when literally no one who plays OW2 plays it on Steam.

Want a cookie?
Here’s someone who didn’t read the OP. No one who played OW2 plays on Steam.Twitch viewers are a bad benchmark. One could argue that many are playing the game than watching it stream. SteamDB is still king.
You're in a coalmine.
So dumb, nobody is actually watching 24 hours, they just set the their browser to a stream and go do something else for a few hours.
Knowing the poster, his narrative would have been the opposite, had Microsoft been footing the bill for Rivals.
Those US layoffs are quite overblown. As the media loves to do. Those people likely had very little influence over the final game. Is half a dozen people or so, most of the staff is chinese

Whether people like it or not, gaas is something that is here to stay for a while. A decently large part of the industry somehow found it's way back to putting games near the toy industry feeling as closely as possible, with microwave-quality games that go out of style in favor of the next 'toy' that pops up.
Let's not revise history and say Ow1 was shit. In its prime OW1 was a behemoth with ridiculous potential for a real marvelesque verse capable of tv series etc with brilliant aesthetics etc. Then blizzard decided to torpedo it to oblivion and bring in boring and forced characters, dei overload and so much more...currently Ow2 deserves to be thrashed by rivals but damn if I don't miss the golden days of Ow.
I don’t know about the game but as far as character designs go, marvel has them beat imo, hands down.
