Many of us expected OW1 Free to play eventually, but with the recent Activision Blizzard earnings call confirming the delay of Overwatch 2 & Diablo 4, but confirming a change up in business model going forward to emulate their success with CoD, it starts to paint a picture of why the heck they even scheduled this Blizzcon to begin with. I think despite the bad news of OW2 being a ways off, they're going to announce some serious good news for current Overwatch 1 players which is a switch to the Free to Play Model (like Warzone) and along with it the ability to monetize the hardcore player while brining in a bigger base of casuals at the same time. Free to play multiplayer games is almost expected to be required at this point, it's impressive Overwatch lasted as long as it did without it, but with their success with CoD, you can look forward to maybe SOME content to come to the Free to Play OW1 to hold us over until OW2.
