7 Popular Video Games That Ruined Everything

3. Overwatch

For a time, Overwatch was king. The instant conversion of anyone going from zero knowledge of the IP to all-out character-worshipping convert happened with just one look at any one of Blizzard's super sexy superheroes.

Then... we all burnt out. Too many roster changes, balance tweaks - honestly it's tough to say exactly what it was across the last few years before Blizzard as a company name became an utter joke, but Overwatch was here... and then it was not.

And yet, its outright domination of this space - something that killed everything from Battleborn to Lawbreakers, Gigantic to XDefiant - meant there's a notable lethargy with anything resembling "hero shooter" mechanics.

Blizzard themselves can barely go a few weeks supporting any of their key franchises with any degree of consistency, but the post-Overwatch burnout - considering it's more a game we talk about than play - is real.
