Games as a service is a scam!

A lot of the non game mechanics, yes. But the core gameplay has changed so much it can definitely be called ow2 in my opinion.

Like... The bomb mode? Hostages? The whole thing with buying equipment at the start and if you die, you're dead until the next round?
I feel like that would suck balls with OW's character mechanics.

Nah the Verge is just fucking stupid. Its a mode that let's you buy moba-like upgrades between rounds. The rounds are basically shortened versions of normal overwatch gamemodes.

That mode is way closer to a moba than csgo. Its kinda just stealing what Deadlock is doing. Even added 3rd person for it.
Why are writers at the Verge so bad at describing games?
