OW2 is free, they're probably referring to buying OW1 only for them to shut it down and rerelease the same exact game but with battlepass characters.
Okay but we got like 5 years of free updates for OW1. If they had an option to play 6v6 and locked out the new characters, that would basically be "the game you paid for".
I mean, I hate the 5v5 too, but I can't say I didn't get my money's worth for OW1.
"Got my money's worth"
Seriously, why do people bend over backwards to justify getting shafted by companies. The game was active and still running, they yanked it to try to make more money off OW2. They could have left it running and just stopped making new content for it, but they were greedy.
Unless they're paying you to go around posting support, you are a sucker trying to justify getting shafted by corpo greed.
Okay let's not go nuts with the revisionism. Ow1 was NOT active. In fact, judging by my (admittedly anecdotal) queue times, ow2 is a lot more active as I'm waiting usually a quarter of how long I would have waited in 1.
Also side note, but I find it hilarious how both narratives of "this is the same as ow1!" And "They deleted ow1 forever" are being run with simultaneously lmao.
