After that we will require new threads to discuss topics.
Questions should go in the stickied Q&A thread, screenshots and PotG will go in the PotG sticky, QQ/Rage/Complaints should go in the QQ/Rage thread. If you want to talk about maps or strategies open a new thread.
Any comments or concerns will be logged please forward them to ZeromuS. This new forum is still fluid so we will try this out. General TL rules will still apply to new threads. |

What big competitive games started out F2P aside from LoL and Dota? I can't think of a single one that didn't have a price tag on Day 1 that became a big popular game.
I'm ok paying $40 (below the average price of a game) for a Blizzard game. They make quality stuff.
Even if future champions have to be unlocked?

So for 40 bucks they defenitely have to add at least 2 more gamemodes plus maps.
Some sort of singleplayer experience would be also nice.
I'm really curious what's about to come on the Overwatch panel.

The lack of a single player is the reason it is $40.

I would be very disappointed in Blizzard if that is the plan. =/

Most games when they launch cost $60... you do play other games, right?

No, they cost $60 normally.

I was thinking this game might become next big competitive FPS but with 40$ price tag not much chance for that.
CS:GO remains king. Also Valve will be happy that TF2 will survive because it had no chance if Overwatch was F2P.

Comparing Overwatch to CS is like comparing StarCraft to Civilization.
Both have a top down view and you click stuff with your mouse, but thats's it.
Overwatch and CS are both First Person Shooters. And that's it.

That muselk guy just said that future heroes and maps will come for free.

I love this fictional world people create where other games are destroyed and end when new games are released. Where games costing money prohibits them from having a fan base and other games are king of some weird hill the person created in their mind. Where video games are either winning or losing to each other. Its a war that the people makings the games are not aware of, but its very REAL. The REALIST.
Video games, where tribalism and fandom are king.

Well there you go. $40 for all current and future content aside from cosmetics. You can stop pretending we live in this world where Blizz is going to force you to sell your bed to have the full game now.

top 3 e-sport games are LoL, DotA, and CS:GO
then it's probably SC2 if we're looking at prize money followed by Hearthstone (high stream viewership)
after that, it's Smite?
anyways, I'm sure there will be initial demand for Overwatch as an e-sport, whether the demand will be sustainable and grow like it has in LoL, DotA, and CS:GO, I'm not so sure with the $40 price tag

Good to know, I was worried after they left the door so wide open during the opening.

You keep telling yourself that. It does not make it true.
Sc2 is king of RTS, LoL of MOBA, CS:GO of all FPS.
