The same way every gaming franchise squeezes $60+ out of every game they sell, even before they could update/ patch/ add new content? | ||

Battleborn has an open beta and web activity declines.  Gee, i wonder why. http://www.google.com/trends/explore#q=battleborn, overwatch&date=today 1-m&cmpt=q&tz=Etc/GMT+4 On April 18 2016 02:55 DarkPlasmaBall wrote: The same way every gaming franchise squeezes $60+ out of every game they sell, even before they could update/ patch/ add new content? most console people are accustomed to both a campaign/single player component along with a multiplayer component. players fall in love with the core of a game first.. the tactics and mechanics you must do to succedd... then after that they embrace the IP around the game. ATVI thinks they can just announce "hey we've got a new amazing universe" and everyone will flock to it like they are Led Zeppelin announcing their 10th album/disc/cd. that strat didn't work for Destiny and it won't work for Overwatch. ATVI is putting the cart before the horse. | ||

Oh wait Blizzard is an independent developer. woops Blizzard games have people flock to them because Blizzard holds itself to a certain standard of quality. Overwatch will be no different. | ||

Heroes of the Storm should be overtaking LoL and Dota2 any day now. WoW subscriptions are so high now that #s do not exist that can describe how high the subscriber total is ; as a result, ATVI is no longer announcing WoW subscriber #s. it'll be interesting to see how Overwatch does compared to their most recent console/pc release Diablo3. | ||

WoW set so many standards and is probably still the biggest MMO out there even though the genre is dwindling. I don't think anyone ever expected Heroes to overtake LoL and DotA2. I don't think Blizz expects OW to beat CSGO player numbers either tbh. I can see how console players don't see as much value for the dollar but people will buy it when the price comes down, and there is a used game market. People who like class based shooters like TF2 will play this. And there are those people who now own consoles and not PCs that can run the game so there will be a market. | ||

At the time Hearthstone was released they were working on WoW, SC2, Heroes of the Storm, Diablo 3 and Overwatch. Oh wait thats 6 aswell. Woops... | ||

it brings to mind this article in forbes. http://www.forbes.com/sites/insertcoin/2015/05/23/is-blizzard-thinking-big-enough-with-overwatch-and-heroes-of-the-storm/#56b8d4a419ba "it’s weird for Blizzard to settle for a fraction of the market share in a genre as well. Blizzard essentially was the MMO/RTS/ARPG scene with their respective games in those genres" | ||
