fucking kill me tbh why can't tf2 get this shit
I honestly think at this point it's explicitly for marketing purposes
When flappy bird, angry bird, and clash of clans came out there were so many knockoffs because the games interested the casual player. Same for LOL/Dota, there were so many shitty mobas pumped out with like 1 or 2 gimmicks changed and still got tourneys(i.e. smite HOTS heroes of newerth etc). It feels like investors just want to exploit some other gimmick meshed with the most popular gametype at the moment, which right now is the blend of FPS and moba, and try to simply lure players into each of their games. OW has the best "gameplay ability" and skins, Paladins has cards, and I have no idea what the fuck battleborn's gimmick is.
I could be wrong but I really think this is just how the video game industry has changed for pc gaming.
