Besides, Blizzard's games remain relevant even after 10+ years. Diablo 2 and WoW are greatexamples.

Pepople keep troting this out but D3/SC3 arent even close to the monolith older blizzard titles were and its unlikely overwatch will be the exception to the decline they are on now, albeit a gradual one.

Will it stay around for a long time with a good chunk of population yeah, but it wont be THE killer title older blizzard title have been from a decade or 2 ago.

If anything momentum from it being a "blizzard" title (coupled with the meme hype from when it was a potential f2p) is whats helping overwatch be a thing and not flop like the majority of everthing else, not some superior quality of the game.

Also the genre new and thus highly unstable as is the market ( and world afairs as a whole) so it could be upset more easily then pepople realized thought its likely not as safe of a bet.

Wait for a sale and get it then.Cant go wrong with what is essentialy the vanila of arena shooters.

In the mean time play the UT4 alpha if your comp is up to specs.Mine chugs on it thought its been better with some of the optimization they have been doing.

I own it ( live was free) but I never played it much outside bots mostly becus I suck at circle jumping/starfe jumping now (was decent back when jedi knights 2 had a population years ago).
