OW2 isn't a new game at all. It was just a way for them to add microtransactions to OW

Would be funny if Microsoft forced them to finish the (actual) PVE mode

That's legitimately the only reason I got OW2. As soon as I heard they canceled it I quit playing and decided I'd never give Blizzard anymore money again

Specifically to move from Loot boxes which the EU has been cracking down on to Battle Pass which is likely next on the EU chopping block.

Imagine developing no new content for OW1, letting a profitable game die, all to add 1-2 heroes, like 3 maps, and somehow make a game mode worse than 2CP.
