"Clean" game-design, and "curated" experiences are the malignant tumors of the video game industry in general. Trends such as "esports-first", "skill-based gameplay" or "hero-shooters" had been reinforced in the past couple of decades. Yes, reinforced.

Played one match, just because that’s all I needed to see what the game I haven’t played in nearly 4 years has become.
This is a product. It has no character, no personality, no charm, no love, no life, no soul.
It’s a soulless product engineered by a soulless cooperation meant to milk every nickel and dime from the people they see as soulless wallets. I have never been more angry and sad before in ten minutes of my life from playing a game seeing what I once loved become… this. Fuck this game and everything it stands for.
I’ll forever miss what the original Overwatch was, not what the disgusting soulless product it has become.
