@coolboymew Overwatch 2 is a F2P, or at least the multiplayer part afaik, so it wouldn't be that surprising of a move if you could import everything
@coolboymew I was thinking they'd give them a bigger time range that just a month yeah. They really want to get back those servers
@coolboymew Wait not one month, literally on the release date lmao
@solidsanek yeah that's immensely shitty, I don't think I've seen it on this level, even EA games manages to live longer when a sequel comes out

@coolboymew @solidsanek so, to my understanding ( @mccree probably knows better than I do), the entire launcher and game is just transitioning to OW2. Think if you had purchased Splatoon 2 and then one day it just turned into Splatoon 3. At least, I believe that's what's happening.
Kind of sucks that they won't let you play the original anymore, for game preservation sake, but I can't imagine many people wanting to play it compared to OW2 unless it's complete dog shit.
There are a lot of people who would still play OW1 if the servers stayed up (myself included). But then queue times would be a lot longer for both games with the player base divided. So every cosmetic is supposed to transfer from 1 to 2 but 1 will no longer be playable. The free to play and battle pass elements will be good for generating revenue and getting more content released for the game on a regular basis but I think for the bulk of the fan base this is a bad move and leaves that classic they-just-want-your-money taste in your mouth. I guess no one can really say for sure until the game releases tho
