"Overwatch 2 Devs Face Bonus Loss and Development Struggles"

Overwatch 2 developers at Blizzard Entertainment received 0% of their profit-sharing bonuses this month, attributed to the game's financial shortfalls, particularly in the PvE content sales. This may indicate poor financial performance for the hero shooter, leading to a shift in development focus from PvE to PvP. The change in bonus policy, now based on franchise performance, was a point of contention between Blizzard's leadership and parent company, Activision Blizzard, and the team was informed in August 2023 that they should not expect any bonuses based on the game's financial performance.
