"Bobby Kotick's Controversial Exit Sparks Outcry and Overwatch 2 Turmoil"
Overwatch 2 faced a harsh reception on Steam, becoming the lowest-rated game on the platform at launch, partly due to the cancellation of its PvE mode. Former Activision Blizzard CEO Bobby Kotick, who recently left the company following Microsoft's acquisition, is blamed by Blizzard's Senior Manager of Community Development for the game's poor handling on Steam. Kotick's decision to launch the game without additional support led to a review bombing that the community team was unprepared for. Overwatch 2 is currently in its eighth season, introducing a new tank hero, Mauga, as the company transitions under Microsoft's leadership.
