So, let me see if I've got this straight.
When Overwatch 2 launched last October, it was framed by Blizzard as a PvP-only early access preview of a game which would eventually include a substantial PvE campaign, to be added in a later patch.
Today, Blizzard's representatives admitted not only that the PvE campaign mode has been scrapped, but that the internal decision to do so was made in late 2021 – meaning they'd been knowingly lying about the game's planned feature set for nearly a year at the time of the October 2022 early access launch.
Is that about the size of it?
Don't forget that the whole reason this happened was because Overwatch 2 was announced in 2019 while it was nowhere near being finished, but the existence of an Overwatch 2 significantly drove down interest in the original Overwatch since it was now viewed as essentially a lame duck, so Blizzard had to rush out an Overwatch 2 PvP only release to get people playing the game again but the effort required for said release prevented them from doing the PvE mode that was the whole point of doing an Overwatch 2 in the first place, and the reason they announced Overwatch 2 super early and put themselves in this ludicrous predicament is because in 2019 Blizzard banned a couple Hearthstone players for speaking out in support of the pro-democracy protests in Hong Kong and they were getting absolutely REEMED for that decision because their fanbase are a bunch of reddit libs whose international politics begin and end at "china bad" so what I'm trying to say here is that we have our glorious Chairman Xi Jinping to thank for the collapse of Overwatch.
