Overwatch 2 was a train wreck from day 1. I hope Blizzard has a come-to-Jesus moment where they start focusing on the actual games, players, and fun instead of how to maximize battle pass sales.
But tying bonuses to products penalizes the little guys for management derailing the project to begin with.
Previously, employees would receive bonuses based on the overall performance of the company. But last summer, the payouts became tied to the performance of each specific franchise. Since their titles were more successful in 2023, teams on games such as Diablo and World of Warcraft received bonuses this month, but the Overwatch developers weren’t so lucky.
That is a pretty big incentive for quality developers to never push for anything new and to ditch games rather than improving lower profit games.

Fuck Overwatch 2. They took one of the greatest games ever made and butchered it into AAA micro transaction garbage.
