I always thought that competitive gaming is amazing, but competitive gaming like this will never be sustainable. For one, it relies on endless influx of people willing to spend money, and regularly watch the content. Given how little new stuff Blizzard actually made, it’s impossible to remain interested.
But let’s just take something else as an example. The League of Legends championships have been out there for like 15 years now. For the latter half of that, it’s looked a lot like insider trading and money laundering, because it’s not a competition for who wins the game. It’s a competition for whose gaming brand stays in business
OWL dying is a shame, I was excited for it, and right when they were about to do the games in the proper cities COVID stopped that, then whoever was asleep at the wheel let the GOATS meta run an entire season when it should have been stopped by a rule change after one match, destroying any desire to watch further.
I was deep into overwatch and just stopped before 2 launched. I played a bit of 2, but not that much, uninstalled and never really looked back. Just the other day i saw that they have a new tank and a new dps is following soon (?). I actually thought the very same thing. For whom do they make those heroes? Oh right, people apparently still play.
