Blizzard is the only gaming company in the world capable of accommodating this many players anyway. Any other company would be fucked if they tried to support Overwatch.
>>341706581
LoL?
Nothing, its pretty fun I just wish they would buff my waifu already

Nothing, apparently nothing.
>>341706350
whats clash of clans
>>341706945
It's a phone game that white collar workers peer pressure each other into playing. People who don't play become outcasts and are forced to quit their jobs because no one likes them.
>>341706168
They took away a certain type of lewd.
It's impossible to actual police NSFW fanart. Straight up.
Odd they're focusing on it so much with Overwatch, I guess they have some SJW in their company hassling them so they have to put some half assed effort in.
Because they never did anything about WoW porn..
>>341706913
to be fair all of blizzard's games break regardless of the success
>>341705292
Blizzard didn't anticipate their game actually being played after the failures of SC2 and HOTS

>>341707605
the servers are in 60 but your client is 20.
it's blizzard's way of rubbing more salt on your wound and it's fucking annoying.
>>341707636
Name it then.
>>341707617
No, it's free to just sit down and play it without having to pay anything per hour due to Blizzard promotions.
That is how desperate Blizzard are to promote their new game.
>>341707392
Are you retarded? Have you ever been to an internet cafe?
>>341707636
It is lmao have you seen how much they rake in from WoW,Hearthstone, and now Overwatch.
>>341705292
nothing, this shitty game is dying, as expected, and the servers will be empty in a few weeks. at last.
Is this why i had lag earlier
>>341707938
Did you read what I just said? Blizzard are promoting the game heavily in Korea right now, making it free to sit down and play. Typically at most PC Bangs, you pay like 100 won an hour. It's a new, and for now free, Blizzard game.
How the fuck are you this retarded?

>>341708306
it's just not good. it's fun for a few hours and that's it. it's an incredibly shitty game, but blizzard spent literally millions for the marketing. people will keep playing for a while, and then, game over. the end. look at like 90 percents of threads one /v/.

This. Overwatch is definitely the lesser evil. LoL is just a worse Dota that's only successful because it released first.
>>341707923
>>341708186
It was a controversy on release that it actually costs more to play Overwatch in PCbangs compared to other games...
>>341708932
talking about which fictional character of a game you would fuck is pure vidya related you're right faggot. fucking shill.
>>341708475
This sounds dumb but he's right
There's a bigger discord channel I'm part of (100 people or so) and all of them were playing Overwatch a week ago. Now only 2 faggots play it.
This goes for everyone I know.
>>341707392
> Free in Internet Cafes.
>>341709205
you can play the game for free. no fees if you play overwatch. what is that hard to understand ? or you a retard ?
>>341709092
If you want to actually discuss vidya you fuck off to /vg/ where you can see that the Overwatch General is the fastest moving thread.
Or are you going to tell me that muh Blizzdrone boogeymen are the only ones in the thread?
>>341707217
Still, OW would be the deciding factor. Only other time i've seen queues for Bnet is on other game launches.
>>341709352
Same with any other non-MMO game at netcafes. Are you retarded?
>>341709352
Do internet cafes now not pay licenses for games? Or has something changed since i've been.
>>341709205
When you go to an internet cafe you pay them so that you can use the computers. Blizzard is footing the bill so people don't have to pay if they are just there to play Overwatch.
>>341709403
or when the servers are fucking up, which is what they're doing now.
>>341708765
just because there are no current plans doesn't mean they don't want to do it. it would just be a tremendous technical challenge that would probably take years to complete so they're not sure if the investment is worth it. Nostalrius shared the details of their meeting and revealed that blizz believes vanilla WoW is an important of gaming history (and it is, whether you like it or not) so it should be preserved and playable in some way, but with the way copyright laws work, private servers just aren't the answer
>>341709585
Why don't we have internet cafes like that over here?
>>341707392
>>341708894
>>341709205
Are those still a thing in 2016? I thought they only existed in places like nigeria
>>341709585
>Blizzard is footing the bill so people don't have to pay if they are just there to play Overwatch.
Source? Did Blizz just give these Internet cafes keys to the game for free? This is how Internet Cafes have worked forever, why is it suddenly 'fudging the numbers' or faking or anything else because its a Blizz game?
>>341709172
they're probably just waiting for comp mode and more content. it's the same with every blizzard game, and because it isn't sub-based it literally does not matter if they're playing or not because blizzard already has their money
>>341709172
kinda the opposite for me. i'm in a pretty large discord, a few people got it on release, then slowly over time more and more people are buying it to play with the others, who show no sign of stopping.

The game looks ok and handle kinda meh but why are so many people wanting to jump in to cramped arena/map shooters in 2016?

it's kinda a kickback system, they get a small bit of change i'm sure from patrons playing.
To be honest, it's more a sign league is dying. The last few new champs are boring as shit, and the reworks are just kinda... meh, they're just fresh paint on a rotting house.

>>341705292
Overwatch's biggest problem is that it's made by activision.
It has the workings of a great game but they really really really need to allow:
1) User made mods,
2) User made maps.
3) User hosted servers
4) Some interface to allow you to join these user made servers running mods.
With this three things, overwatch could easily become a 'legendary' game like coutnerstrike, or warcraft 3. People could talk about overwatch well into the next 5+ years.
Unfortunately because they're activision...(and they ARE activision, don't give me this crap about "TH. THEYRE SEPERATE COMPANIES OKAY?!")... they will just run the series into the ground with shitter expansion after expansion, or sequels and the BEST case scenario with overwatch will be something like CoD, where they release and re-release things until it gets so stale people will boo when they show the reveal trailer (lmao).
Pic related: What overwatch COULD have spawned that would allow it to be entertaining for years with tight knit server communities around player made mods.
>>341713208
No they don't you're an idiot. They just need to host some competitive stuff and keep features fresh and they will be printing money for years.
>>341707923
have you even been to a pcbang before? you pay to use a computer. the computers already have games installed
>>341712463
I'm glad, I don't know why it took this long honestly. They have been fucking up for literally years and years, treating their fanbase like retards, refusing to accept fundamental problems with both their business model and their games and somehow only now it has blown up in their face. It should have happened years ago.
The only sad part is that it took a shitty company like Blizzard to do it who might be even worse
>>341713397
: / ..
Competitive stuff can only last so long man. The thing that gets these games going and going long term are user made mods on the game.
Where would HL be without counterstrike? Natural selection? Team Fortress?
Where would Warcraft 3 be without Dota?
If we take these things away from these games they turn into bland forgettable games like say Call of Duty.
>>341713208
You'd think blizzard of all companies would know this given that half of the reason anyone gives a shit about WC3 and its enduring legacy today was due to custom games more than what they actually made themselves
>>341713814
they do know. they just fucked up big time by trying to lay claim to all custom maps
they had a fantastic setup with SC2, but ruined it with their attempt to monetize custom maps.
I doubt they learned from it either.

Around 5 million of those are from Korea alone, and people play OW for free on PC bangs over there.

The burden of proof is on you Metzen, if you want to show that your game is so popular you should make the concurrent players and actual sales numbers public.
Otherwise is too obvious you are inflating the numbers when cutting down on server costs.

That is a archive of a lot of blizzard art and concepts. Including Soldier 76, which was created in 1998.
If you manage to access, you will see quite a few erotic drawings, by blizzard themsef.
Long story short: They give no fuck about porn, probably even enjoy it, but will target those specific niches for PR credit.
