Blizzard has opened up about the impact Overwatch 2 “review bombers” have had on the team, acknowledging that the “dissatisfaction” stems from “the cancellation of the much larger component of PvE that was announced in 2019 […] that Blizzard ultimately couldn’t deliver”.
In a statement posted to the game’s official website, Aaron Keller said that while being review bombed “isn’t a fun experience”, the plan was to “move forward” by “adding to and improving Overwatch 2”.
Review bombers have completely fucked over the purpose of reviews, seriously. Thanks to those dumb fuckers anytime anything deservedly get bad reviews, the creators almost always completely fucking ignore the backlash, dismissing it as nothing more than review bombing. It’s nothing more than an excuse, of course, but it’s still an excuse they didn’t have at all before.
