If fewer players would buy the shitty games, and stop buying the battle passes and mtx, they would stop selling them. It's all about profit.

What do you think would have happened if Overwatch 2 launched and had a consistent player count of zero?

But it seems that a lot of people don't care as much as I want them to, and a lot of people have less self control than a toddler. Little will change.

Those games make money on whale players. People who spend thousands of dollars.

But if whales have no one to play with those whales end up leaving too.

I know I'm preaching to the choir, BlahajEnjoyer, but for anyone else reading this, this is why it's important to also not play these sorts of games in addition to not spending money on them, if stopping any of this is important to you.
