They went on this roadshow where they had a deck—and you can put anything in a deck, and sell anything—and they were pretty much selling the Brooklyn Bridge, that Overwatch League was going to be more popular than the NFL.

Lmao, sounds as if some McKinsey douchebag infected leadership.

I once wanted to play overwatch, but not paying blizzard any money. I thought they’d make it free to play.

When they released overwatch 2 and made it free to play, however all of my want had dissipated.

It’s pretty fun imo, Stadium has been my favorite but you had to treat it like unranked. And generally just stay away from regular ranked OW, any gamemode that gives you a skill rating based purely on which team wins is flawed imo

Well I’m glad he told them to fuck off.

That CFO quote is brutal and I would like to know the name of that CFO so we can shame him and make sure to stay away of the games he is involved in.

Shame it’s Lex, but I’m glad to hear from Jeff again, especially in this tell-all format. I always liked him in OW1, and I knew he was involved with WoW but I didn’t know he was the lead quest designer. Curse the Green Hills of Stranglethorn!
