So true 🙏
The current title the video was uploaded with doesn't make grammatical sense, it feels like a word is missing or needs rewriting entirely 😅
That's beyond living under a rock,He's straight up neanderthal.
Guys im an Overwatch expert and have a list of things they invented:
- Spider themed women with guns
- Ninjas with swords
- Gorillas
- Girl but in robot
- Cowboys using guns
- Multiplayer video games
- Japan
Underrated comment
Don't forget genetically enhanced super soldiers, automatic turrets, ethically challenged scientists, ninjas, sibling rivalries, outlaws in wastelands, loot boxes, battle passes...
u forgot hamsters that mythical creature mustn’t be forgotten
They also invented toxicity!
Say what you want about Overwatch, but Japan's a pretty cool place.
We should be more thankful for the gifts that Blizzard has given us
They wouldn't know black widow came first because they likely assumed everything they did in overwatch toootally wasn't done before. Maybe in say, a fortress of sorts.
A fortress huh? Sounds like a fun game to play with a team.
@@erebusvonmori8050 Almost fun enough to make a second iteration
So much fun you might play in a second fortress as well.
@@erebusvonmori8050A team, huh? Sounds like a pretty fun yet competitive way for two teams to go up against each other.
for gravel
@@erebusvonmori8050 The Goated game lets be honest, still is good today
...Does he think Blizzard invented the femme fatale archetype?
That's like saying jennifer lawrence was the first female action star in films.
Didn't you know, Blizzard created women 😂
Is that not what yong said in the video word for word ?
Overwatch's Widowmaker first appearance: 2015
Marvel's Black Widow first appearance: 1964
That's all you need to know.
He is dumb enough to think that
Marvel rivals skins are purchasable with the FREE BLUE CURRENCY that you earn by playing and completing quests. Overwatch 2 could never
If you grind ten years maybe
I don't want be bias, but Overwatch have that too and much easier. Still Marvel is a better game, I don't really care much about skins
@@vonxoliverover watch literally scraped the whole loot box angle where you would get currency from them and then forced everyone’s loot box’s to automatically be opened?
@@vonxoliver you aren’t wrong but the best skins require money to buy
@@siren_atlanticaactually the level of currency it rewards you. You could get a new skin like every two hours.
He hasn't watched like a single Marvel movie???
Like, we had marvel movies for like 16 years and he dodged Black Widow for 16 years?
Forget movies, Natasha has been on Marvel posters for 60 years now.
Seriously, the character turned 60 this year.
Do you think he got angry when black widow came out in theaters?
actually I believe Iron man came out in 2001 so its even worse than that. Also this isn't counting all the marvel movies from the 90's. So yeah, what cave is that dude living in.
@@EinherjarVif you're referring to the first iron man movie that came out in like 2008 dawg
@binglebop5877 lol holy crap I was way off.
If anything by his own logic, Widowmaker would be the ripoff, and even that's not accurate. Seriously, Overwatch did not invent the word widow. Nor the concept of a female spy/assassin. Or even a spider themed female spy/assassin. I'm getting really sick of corperate asshats trying to claim they own phrases or ideas.
Anything to make more money for them, they’ll say or do 🤷🏻♂️😒
Wait till he finds out what Overwatch ripped off in the first place
You do not havd to be intelligent to be successful in our society. You just havta be able to have a huge ego and no conscience. Thats reality, most ppl in power dont derserve it they just bullshit their way till they suck at their job then stall out there. Most ppl should be demoted then but seems impossible 4 humans to do
Absolutely wreaks of the same huffed up waste substance from when Bethesda had a trademark dispute with Mojang over the word "Scrolls."
What’s even funnier is if we go by when both characters debuted, Widowmaker debuted when Overwatch released in *2016*. While Black Widow debuted in the comics in *1964*, the competition isn’t even close lmao
Calling Black Widow a rip-off of Widowmaker is like saying the 2024 Chevy Silverado was the first vehicle ever made.
Or like Jennifer Lawrence saying she was the first female action star.
No it's not lol.
these nonsense analogies are so cringe
@@SuperInu Dude, right? X'D God, I'm surprised she didn't pull a muscle with that reach. Like Sigourney Weaver and Linda Hamilton didn't exist. Fuck outta here with that.
@@squidward8125 Saying cringe is cringe, nto everything is cringe just cause you don't like it.
Forget the comic, Natasha Romanoff first appeared in live-action film in 2008 with Iron Man 2 and really broke out in 2011 with the first Avengers movie. Both movies came well before the first Overwatch game.
He mentioned that. But just to ☝🤓you. She first appeared in 2010*'s Iron Man 2* and Avengers 1 in 2012*. She then also starred in 2014's Winter Soldier, 2015's Avengers 2 and 2016's Civil War which all released before OW😎
Yeah, and in fact she showed up big time even earlier than in The Avengers in 2012. She actually had a really kickass prominent scene in Iron Man 2 in 2010, she has a hallway fight scene, her and Happy team up against some henchmen.
Black Widow also had a 2010 comic line called Widowmaker as well.
You're assuming these execs in black suit even living in the same realm as normal human being. They're their own cult
She’s so hot 😩
Why would an ex CEO even care? He’s not even on blizzard’s payroll anymore…
Ego I guess.
Ego for sure.
Ego I assume!
Ego I think
Ego and delusion
I wouldn't be surprised if it turned out Black Widow is older than Mike Ybarra himself
Unless he's 60, she is.
And the version of Natasha in this game is over a hundred years old according to dialogue between characters.
@@tompotter8703 The game is set in 2099 and Natasha has been around since WW2, so yeah lmao.

Wait till someone shows him the film 'La Femme Nikita (1990)' which is funnily enough about a French assassin from a shady organisation who often uses a sniper rifle and has inspired tonnes of other games and films too.
Black Widow was older, i guess she was inspired by James Bond movies...
@@efxnews4776 Best I can find is she's based off cold war spies, so likely some inspiration from Bond too since it's that era.
@@MillenniumDays blizzard gonna break lenins corpse from that room and sue him for copyright infringment
Even just talking about games, MGS had Sniper Wolf. Though not a playable character.
@efxnews4776 well in her original appearances she actually dressed like a widow , her more iconic skinsuit was based on the avengers(not the ones from marvel) tv show which starred diana riggs wearing that exact outfit , but yes it was inspired by the spy craze of the era even wonder woman became a secret agent wearing a white jumpsuit thing
If only he had a phone, he could have looked up which one came first
Of course he has a phone, of course he could look this up at any point. However, an issue remains: why would he? His idea of developing a videogame is literally lifting concepts from other, hopefully less popular games, why would he ever think someone somewhere does things diferently?
do you guys not have phones? we all got phones!
Of course he does, But he decided not to research which one of these characters came first, because he KNOWS that if he discovered that Black Widow definitely existed FIRST before Widowmaker, all of his claims of his character Black Widow is a copy of Widowmaker would be silly and ridiculous, all of this would fell apart quickly.
It would sound silly and ridiculous regardless, but still.
I see what you did there 😁
Blizzard should really work on inventing that! A “phone” that can look up information
Yong's pronunciation of 'Psylocke' got me twitching 😂
Never leave home without my trusty Psy-Glock.
Psyclock is my favorite Suicide Squad character
So it's not just me, then.
Black Widow: Character debutes back in 1964, has been in many comics and has appeared in the MCU during its golden era of movies, the same era that Overwatch debuted in.
Ybarra: NaH tHeY cOpIeD uS!
Like brother, what rock are you living in to not even know this, especially considering the popularity of the MC-freaking- U when Overwatch dropped?
Just goes to show how much of a threat Blizzard sees Marvel Rivals. If people really didn't think it would do anything to them, they'd ignore the game, but the fact they see it and are panicking shows whats really about to go down. Marvel Rivals is gonna dethrone Overwatch while Overwatch continues to go further and further below. You love to see it
Which is funny given Activision used to hold the Marvel license a decade ago.
The MR discord already has a million people. I'm only there for the game update channel myself, but still that's a crazy number for a weekend.
Sir I do not love to see it
Love to see it
Which isn’t to say Marvel Rivals is our friend, either. It’s doomed to succumb to greed eventually. Seeing Blizzard squirm is worth it in the meantime, though
"Marvel Rivals is coping Overwatch!"

If Blizzard sues marvel (which I do not think they will since Marvel has Disney money) then Valve should sue Blizzard.

lets not let blizzard forget that they promised us a new 5v5 game with PvE and a story, only to back pedal and cancel PvE cancel story and bring back 6v6 AS A GAME MODE. lazy scummy company.
Don’t forget, they changed time of the day on some 8 year old maps, took like 30 minutes to do, give the janitor some credit.
Don't forget. They only made ow2 so people thag bought ow1 couldn't keep getting lootboxes for free because you gota pay for that stuff now
The main thing I won't forget is how they want your phone number just so you can play it. Are they still asking that? Because I refuse to play a game that demands my phone number.
@@dabndangle yep. They wanted to do a battle pass system because it would make them more money. I had so many legendary skins in OW1 without paying even a dime.
Adding on to this, when they initially revealed all the PvE and story stuff during Blizzcon, they already knew they weren't going to actually do it.
just goes to show how studio CEOs don't have a single clue about anything
They sure as hell is good at firing people 😂
0:50 keep in mind thats PC only, they also added PS and Xbox and I cant be more happier with 1-2 seconds of queue time
Blizzard pretending that Overwatch is original is cute when we all know that they just copied the Team Fortress formula and slapped an Avengers twist on it.
I can see skins selling well here, you can actually see them in gameplay because its third person. I never understood how people would buy skins in Overwatch where you never see your skins in gameplay since its first person.
Because they simp for that charicter. Why do you think mostly the attractive charicters get skins. Mercy, kiri, widow etc.
The skins are great but many of them are $20 plus like come on that’s about 1/3 of a full game and many people like collecting many skins
@@ArmedandDangerous918 It's almost like a free to play game has to make money somehow.
Or apex legends for that matter. Who sell their skins for ridiculous prices. Their heirlooms are like 180 bucks. The greed in tgat game is crazy.
Slightly playing devil's advocate here but I remember really liking the OW1 skins and seeing the change in animations and the look of your hands, weapons, or attacks in-game.
Not saying that beats seeing the full skin 24/7 haha I think Marvel has them beat there. But I loved when Torbjorn had a inflatable hammer and it squeaked when you hit something lol, or the reload animations of certain guns changing. Little stuff like that made it feel cool or funny.
Yeah, Team Fortress 2 has a lot to say about that glass house Overwatch lives in. lmfao
I think that we should really refer to hero shooters as “overwatch-likes”
I played a fair bit of tf2 back in the day, and "overwatch ripped off team fortress 2" never really made sense to me. The heroes of overwatch are so much more like moba characters than the versatile and customizable classes of tf2. The classes that there are still only 9 of, as opposed to the regular releasing of entirely new heroes.
@@EvilLobsterKing I agree, TF2 is not a hero-based team shooter, but just a regular team-based shooter

Come on Blizzard. How do you do you **** up the launch of OW 2 THAT badly, and then complain about a rival (no pun intended)
13:30 - Nah, the BEST case scenario would be they worked it like Helldivers 2, where you could purchase past battle passes even beyond that season, as opposed to only keeping them available if you buy them while they're available.
Thats how out of touch these companies are with gaming world. They know nothing about games, comics, movies. They are only corporate and hired for that reason, their downfall is imminent due to their lack of touch with their customers… you don’t hire a stylist that knows nothing about fashion culture why do you hire people to work in gaming but knows nothing about our culture!?!?
They killed all goodwill they had left with everything about Overwatch 2. Marvel rivals is fun and OW is not right now.
The most ironic thing is still how people thought Overwatch would kill Team Fortress 2
TF2 didn't have to do anything, Overwatch killed Overwatch. And even after the desasterous relaunch and going free-to-play, they still pull about half the numbers of a game that was released 16 years earlier.
@@HappyBeezerStudios I mean, a lot of the players on TF2 are bots, unless things got better recently?
But yeah, the thing that really dragged down OW was how it kept making changes with only the MLG players in mind.
Sure, shit was unbalanced as all hell sometimes, but it was still *fun.* But then they just started nerfing every character into the dirt, and every time you figured out a new character's gimmick that made you want to play them in the first place, bam- nerfed.
It was a constant cycle of learning a new character, watching them get nerfed into irrelevance, and then switching to a new character and learning their ins and outs just to begin the cycle again when they got nerfed. It was such a fuckin' drag.
and the hilarious part to me is that while marvel rivals is crushing overwatch 2, the early access of path of exile 2 is doing the same to Diablo 4 at the same time. And Blizzard is similarly quite salty about it
a buddy dragged me into marvel rivals recently. its straight up overwatch if activision had nothing to do with it.
@@quantum5661 Literal “Overwatch but good”
If we needed evidence that all people in charge of franchises and pop culture are completely ignorant to what they are selling, here it is.

A dash is a dash, shoot a gun is shoot a gun, throw a bomb is throw a bomb. It's up to the developers to makes something fresh out of the tools provided by their engine.
Do you guys remember when blizzard used to be run by a bunch of nerds? Same nerds that probably played DnD, read comics, played video games before it was cool?
Just proves how this company is now not even in the same library, let alone the same page with its audience.

I think it goes to show that these exces and CEO do not know anything about the IPs they manage. It’s why theyve failed so much and so hard. You need someone with an extensive knowledge to direct your company in the right path.
This guy wasn't even part of Blizzard until 2019, 3 years after Overwatch released. Why does he have anything to say about Overwatch OR Marvel characters? He wasn't involved in making either. On top of that he isn't even with Blizzard anymore so he has no horse in that race either.
"Stupid Shit CEOs say"
I'd love to see how this guy explains Black Widow's presence way back in Iron Man II and even before that when she first appeared in 1964 (Tales of Suspense #52)
Glad to see Marvel Rivals put overwatch in its place as a dead IP.

That’s so fucked. How about he pay their devs better? Like they have billions of dollars going to a useless CEO. Honestly.
And by tipping game devs, he probably means to tip the executives
Lmao what??
I mean, donating to like an indie dev you like through patreon or something is kinda like tipping and I think that’s perfectly normal and good, but it’s clear he just wanted an excuse to pay developers less, and he’d probably be stealing their tips as well lmao

12:08 Sega did this many times in the early 2000s. Inc the guide arrow from Crazy Taxi "that expired a few years ago" so that no other game could use it. Instead of locking others out, it forced innovation, so that every game had to think how to guide the player without the arrow. Like a more commonly seen line on the road, or something more simple like turn singnals to show where to go
Its amazing that in 2024 you still catch people opening their cave without first checking google to see if what they are saying is even true.
Because in 2024 most people don't care about facts and logic. Ibara's mistake here was to believe he still holds enough power and goodwill to have a fanbase rallying behind him and bending the truth in his favour.
@lilithspicynugget because he got community noted
It's X what did you expect honestly. Elon himself spams reposts with 0 background checks (Hank Green made a video on this).
Even if you do not pay attention to the comics at all, there is at least the MCU. Black Widow herself debuted in Iron Man 2, which released in 2010. That is SIX YEARS before Overwatch launched. How this guy can be so clueless and baffling.
Imagine if the very first FPS game copyrighted the genre, or the very first Shooter type game in general like YongYea said.
Imagine how many games we would've never played or seen.
To be fair in his very absolute tiniest Defense: Even she was introduced to the MCU very early in Iron Man 2 but as far as i Remember she was clearly named "Black Widow" waaaaaaaay later. Most people call her by her Real Name all the Time.
But jeah the Comics make it very clear and a 5 sec Google Research would be already enough.
It's like the one scene from Starship Troopers: "They're afraid!"
Blizzard had every opportunity to give players OG Overwatch. Instead of listening to what players wanted Blizzard decided they knew better.
Can't blame NetEase for coming in and satisfying a market demand.
It’s crazy to now because I believe it’s too late ,overwatch took an L on not making pve despite getting 4 years to make it so there’s them not making pve then there’s spending more time adding skins instead of making the game better lol imagine if they released 2 maps in a season imagine if they added an event/lore with a new hero of a Talon uprising with a new villain that become playable they’re just slow even with blizzards money and it’s disappointing I’ve played overwatch since season 1 they’ve made overwatch soo fine tuned into being overly competitive it lost the randomness and fun aspect that now marvel rivals has
I find it ironic that Netease did the same thing with Hoyo. (Lawsuit towards Hoyo)
@rxvz663 they promised too much in the leveling system. If they left that out pve could easily have been done
The didnt promise too much.. They couldve done PvE with the levelling system but what they realised is they wouldnt make money of it.. Tbh they was probably never planning On doing it in the first place
@@magicplacebo2143 not too much? each skin would have had to have their own progress tree that added stuff as you levels. we see it now on the 30 dollar skins, they couldnt just give it away or make those skin for each charactor.
Not my quote, but I've heard "Jealousy is the tribute mediocrity pays to genius"
First it was their envious dig at Path of Exile 2, now this. Blizzard knows they've lost the game, and rather than trying to improve, they're just spitefully lashing out at better competitors lmao
In a satirical sense I can't wait for Bobby Yves and Andy to have their metaphorical Brian thompson moment. Parody, in minecraft

@@terrylandess6072There are complete buffoons running the companies though, so a hell of a the blame goes to them too. They’re completely out of touch and are especially clueless regarding what fans actually want.
There are countless examples of it, it’s ridiculous, stuff like EA shoving heaps of micro-transactions into Dead Space 3 and turning it into a co-op game at the expense of it being genuinely scary to play.
After this resulted in the game selling poorly, despite them sinking astronomical amounts of money into the marketing, they iced the series for nearly an entire decade.
Then they finally chose to bring it back with the 2023 remake of the first game, only after having seen another popular horror game do the same with excellent results. The game didn’t sell to their liking though, because their expectations are unrealistic, horror games are a relatively unpopular genre when compared to outright action, not everybody enjoys being scared, most probably don’t in fact, there really just aren’t that many horror fans, especially of more biologically feasible horror like Dead Space, as it’s cosmic horror, something much more realistic than spiritual horror.
So now they’ve iced the franchise again, indefinitely so, instead of getting a gorgeous remake of the perfection that is Dead Space 2, we’re getting absolutely nothing for the foreseeable future.
Their heads are shoved so far up their own asses they don’t realise the game actually sold fantastically well, they’re clueless as to how absurd their expectations are, it’s not going to sell like hotcakes the way Battlefield games do, it’s an entirely different kind of game.

Reminds me when Rush Limbaugh thought Bane from the Dark Knight Rises was a reference to some company Mitt Romney started or something.
Marvel Rivals has much better Lore than OverWatch,
Marvel should consider making a Cinematic Universe that'll be epic
Maybe publish some comics.
And some cartoons along the way
Maybe they could make a film or two
If they're successful in making a TV series they should make action figures idk call it Marvel Legends or something
Guys, imagine if a big company like Disney buy the rights to make movies and sht about this Marvel Rivals universe?
I think there's a missing word in the title.
EDIT: It has been corrected now
Yep
What did it say before?
@@umbranassassin8372”Ex Blizzard CEO embarassingly Black Widow's name in Marvel Rivals copies Widowmaker in Overwatch”
From what I’m hearing about Marvel Rivals is that it is currently in early stage Helldivers 2. It’s a good game but it has a few major issues that if left unaddressed could cause a mass exodus like HD2 did. Hopefully they learned from HD2’s mistakes and can keep a strong momentum going.
You CAN buy just the skins for 200 coins ($2) cheaper if you go to the bundle and click the cheaper price under the skin icon
I mean the game looks like it has quality. It even has destructive environments plus the team tag powers? Bro it’s pretty good
tis a fun time but the environments are only semi destructible and as useful as that is theres always that one bit that's not that will vex you.
He is probably just pissed that Marvel Rivals is quite successful at this point.
Ex-CEO is pissed he isn't CEO. That's all this is. The whining of the elitists. Wah!
Tbh to early to say. Its a really good Game ngl but it didnt put much new to the Table. We have to wait couple of Months. People are still in there Honeymoon Phase.
This game shits all over overwatch
The fact that Marvel Rivals and PoE2 dropped and are better than both Blizzard games has me crying 😂.
PoE2 sucks, nothing drops.
Its the softness of Diablo and overwatch spending more time making skins then maps and being fun
Marvel rivals is fun like old overwatch and as Elon musk said Poe2 is the love child of Elden ring and Diablo
@@illusionlb what the game that’s going to be free with over 80 bosses ..sucks ? Haha yeah whatever
@@illusionlb Lowest effort troll ever
@@illusionlb 3 days into early access dude. It's not even a complete game yet and it's already better. GGG will hear the cries and turn up the drop rate.
4:03 I have to say that it is so funny that the community notes says that Black Widow is a character older that Overwatch, because Blizzard Entertainment was established in 1991, making her older that the company that made Overwatch. Fucking hilarious.
As one of the many players who loved Overwatch but stopped playing years ago, Marvel Rivals has completely revitalized my love of the genre. I'm also ecstatic that Cloak and Dagger are in the spotlight for once and other Marvel IPs that aren't as well known. I loved Cloak and Daggers story back in high school and being an adult, being able to play them in an engaging way really is incredibly fun. Ex Mercy Main, New Cloak and Dagger Main
That's why he's Ex CEO.
99% of these posts don't even register that fact: EX-CEO. They deserve what they get since they can't read or critically think.
@@terrylandess6072 You thought CEOs think?
Blizzard probably real happy it's Ex right now cause I'd love to see them panic backtrack his comments before a Disney hits quad break down the door.
So? He’s not an “ex” CEO because he’s dumb: all CEOs of all companies are equally stupid.
Rod fergusson tried to take a shot at POE2 and now Mike ybarra trying to take a shot at Marvels Rival . It just goes to show that how much these two games did damage to their existing franchises . Diablo 4 and Overwatch 2 are in huge trouble if they don’t do something really drastically to bring back their player base .
Blizzard stock price going down as we speak. I just wished Riot MMO came out so we can put the final nail in the coffin. Good Riddance
there was a time CEOs kept there mouths shut and made their obscene money while smoking cigars lit with 100 dollar bills in the shadows.
should we go back to that?
Ex-CEO.
It used to be that a lot of the CEOs in creative fields had to work their way up. Now most of them are finance majors with no attachment to anything that isn't finance (READ: anything human.)
Nah it’s better this way so no one forgets how they’re all mostly just greedy sociopaths who don’t deserve their positions.
Nah it’s better this way. The more people that know who these greedy, out-of-touch clowns are, the better. Back in the day it was easier to hide who was effing us over on a daily basis but now they just can’t help themselves.
Nope. Let them keep saying dumb stuff in public, it makes it so much easier to remember who’s screwing us over. They just can’t help to remind everyone how out-of-touch, greedy, and useless they are.
Damnnn I just noticed that in Rivals the left stick controls movement and the right stick controls the camera, just like in Overwatch…Shame on you Marvel 🤦🏽
Its quite good consdiering a lot of people didn't hear about this game and so didn't even know it existed, and then combine that with the fact that PoE2 early access just came out among other things.
Overwatch's Widowmaker first appearance: 2015
Marvel's Black Widow first appearance: 1964
That's all you need to know.
Natasha "Black Widow" Romanoff made her first comic book appearance in 1964, which means that she predates Widowmaker by several decades. So if anyone's a ripoff, it would be Widowmaker.
I don't care for nor know much about comics and Blizzard games because I've been more of a hermit for most of my life but even I know that Black Widow existed long before Overwatch; Are these CEO's really that stupid or are they so out of touch with reality!?
15:40 Not EVERY individual skin, the chromas don’t have unique MVP animations
…but when almost every other skin has a unique MVP animation, I think the point still stands
For reference, the only skin that isn’t a chroma *AND* doesn’t have a unique MVP animation is The Punisher’s “Thunderbolts” skin in the season pass
Lol, there's a bot in Unreal Tournament 2k4 called Widowmaker. Like, it's not even the first time it appears either. Pretty sure it was a nickname of certain weapons/artillery from the various wars.
Closest I’ve caught one of your videos on release. Been watching for years, thanks for always keeping me informed on the latest gaming news, reviews, and discussions!
*After they deleted Overwatch and released the inferior Overwatch 2, that was the last straw, and i stopped bothering with any of their games, including wow.*
*Activision/ Blizzard are a joke.*
My last straw was the PVE being completely gutted. And turned into a hallow cash grab.
But that's how OW2 is now.
wow is really all they have leftat this point. HotS died, SC2 is left to rot (to the point updates are community-made), Overwatch is dead with Marvel Rivals being Overwatch except not crap, and likewise Diablo 4 is getting stomped in the dirt by Path of Exile 2.
And its not that WoW is doing well, its just that it managed to remain the iconic MMO in an era where MMOs like it just dont get as popular anymore, so competition eclipsing it completely is unlikely to happen.. Again, not that Wow is doing well, far from it. Its MTX-ridden despite still needing a subscription to play, and infested with DEI and other political garbage (of the rainbow variety) to boot.
Diablo 4s expansion price did me in. Removed everything blizzard and hoped others would to, it's good to see them getting pissy and defensive.
@theyuziverse a full priced game with the hyper monetization of a FTP game. Kinda wild
@@Captain.AmericaV1 what do you expect from a game company that still runs its MMO of a subscription system whil at the same time having paid expansions AND MTXs?
What LESS could we expect from the "Ex-Blizzard CEO"?😐
you know the worse part?(other than that proving how baddly disconnected higher ups at companies are with anything human) is that Black widow is older than Blizzard itself...
18:25 The challenges are all like, deal/take/heal damage with specific characters and use team-up functions. They’re literally just “play the game” lol. I haven’t felt the need for a battle pass experience track so much as more frequent objectives that get me playing different heroes.
if he didnt know who Luna Snow or Squirrel Girl are would be understandable, but Black Widow?
Even if you dont read the comics, what about the MCU, Black Widow is around since Iron Man 2.
While I probably won't play it, at least not much, Marvel Rivals seems to be off to a good start and have some good plans. Let's hope they don't slide down the spiral of poor choices.
Okay so it’s not just me with the title, I was considering checking myself into the hospital
11:55 That patent "issue" reminds me of that godawful decision by Warner Bros to patent the Nemesis System (imagine that s**tshow, if someone tries to copy that)
Someone tell Mike now is REALLY not the time for CEOs, even Ex CEOs, to be acting foolish iykyk 😅
Are ya kidding me?
Black Widow was before Widowmaker for decades, and even then people would know her more since 2010 wich would still be way before OVerwatch
And even then is not like he could claim that Widowmaker was the first femme fatale trope
Correcting a mistake: Natasha debuted in Iron man 2, before avengers reunion.
