Not picking up a pitchfork and joining the mob is now white knighting? Get the fuck outta here with that shit.
I’m not here to defend Blizzard, frankly fuck them and their mismanagement of a great IP, but people are definitely blowing Overwatch’s failure out of proportion and just hopping on a bandwagon.
What other Blizzard titles relied on a single time purchase and loot boxes for their payment scheme? Wasn’t WoW subscription based WITH paid expansions? StarCraft and Diablo definitely had paid expansions.
Maybe the argument could be made for Hearthstone or HotS but I won’t consider them Blizzard’s flagship titles either.
