The reason was the majority of their dev team got moved to OW2. Why release a bunch of new things leading up to a sequel/expac when they could just use that as incentive to get said sequel? That’s game publishing 101 really.

Thus why Overwatch was able to swoop in and take their audience. And Bliz is doing the right thing with Overwatch 2. It keeps the eyes and fanbase focused on them

EA loves to phone things in and relies on massive advertising pushes.

The thing that allowed Overwatch to take the place of TF2 is the fact that Valve decided they didnt want to make games anymore, and no TF3 came out, nor was even in development, after too long of a time.

Personally, I love this game. However, the hoops and clusterfuck of account creation/linking trainwrecks one needs to go through is mind boggling. Theres a square-enix acct, theres a mognet acct, theres a login name, and if anything gets borked up, all three end up being unable to play the game.
