How shit can one game become

The constant rolling disaster that is Overwatch's game development aside, what really perplexes me about how Blizzard is handing the broader franchise is their continual insistence that a canon narrative exists in spite of their equally continual refusal to tell anyone what it is.
Like, okay, the events of the games aren't canon. Fair enough: the games are multiplayer-only, and you can't account for player actions.
Oh, and the animated short films aren't canon either – they're properly understood as in-universe propaganda, not depictions of actual events. That's a little high concept for you guys, but fine.
But surely the comics are canon, right? Well, no; some of the comics (we're not telling you which ones) were canon at one point, but the writing team has decided to go in a different direction.
My dudes, what is left? The weird Source Filmmaker porn? Is that canon? Well, apparently it's at least as canon as anything else!

There’s something extremely funny to me about seeing “critically acclaimed” followed by “mostly negative (12,477)”

Solaris Mercy 🌄 A crossover with my aasimar Valkariel’s Sun Court formal regalia and Overwatch Mercy. Also some sunrise/sunset chroma/color palettes for Solaris Mercy! From top left to bottom right, Gloaming, Sunrise, (Carat) Dawn, and Dusk.
Some background lore: the robes of the Sun Court consist of a feathery garment that wraps around the body over a color changing tunic and skirt. The cloth reacts to the wearer’s magic and changes color accordingly. In Valkariel’s case, her colors typically reflect the sky gradients when the sun rises and sets. Valkariel’s colors usually are the lighter pastel tones, but she never displays the gloaming palette unless she’s using the Radiant Soul skill. This Mercy skin uses the “gloaming” palette, when the sun has set, but the last of the ambient light still burns near the horizon.

This whole "No more pve" in overwatch got me so upset. This is the one thing that got me excited about overwatch, but this feels like a slap in the face. 5 years we were told there would be an overwatch pve, and now it's scraped. I would like to know how you feel about this?
