I'm kinda weirded out by how little of a negative reaction there is to Overwatch 1 being killed and replaced by its sequel.

Like I never played it, partly because i knew they would kill it eventually, partly because I didn't want to support their casino-like microtransactions. But this was a very popular game that people seem to have genuinely liked, and it's just gone.

Overwatch 2 is similar, but there are some major changes apparently, including worse-looking designs and one less player per team. And that would have been fine if they changed things up for a sequel, if you could still play the original game. But you can't. It's a replacement for a game they killed.

I doubt Overwatch 1 was some masterpiece game, I didn't even play it, but there were designers, artists and programmers who clearly put a lot of effort into the game. I'll admit, from watching from outside of the game's players, that some of the character designs looked appealing.

And now it's just gone forever. Any value there was, just destroyed. All that work is mainly just a memory now, except some screenshots and game footage. For most games, Wikipedia says that a game "is", but for Overwatch 1 it read that it "was".

I'm an ex-librarian, and a hardcore cultural preservationist. I think even trashy fiction and media should be preserved. Like we have to be able to experience that media, read it, watch it, play it to make the judgement that it is bad. And even in bad media, there is usually some value to be found that can inspire someone. We should preserve culture, not destroy it.

And it is all because Activision Blizzard designed the game so it could only run with their own servers, no private servers allowed. It's because they wanted that control so they could prevent piracy. And they wanted control over the players. So they could lead players from one game that they fin less profitable to their next that might make them more money by shutting the old one down, as was the case with Overwatch 1 and 2. And they want that control so they could make money with microtransactions.

And the inherent problem with a game relying on central servers is that those won't last forever. They will eventually become unprofitable and be deliberately shut down, or the company will go out of business or whatever. And then the game will die, become unplayable forever, be destroyed. It's planned obsolescence for games.

And the reason this is a cause for anger is that things won't have to be like this. You can design a multiplayer fps shooter like Overwatch to allow for players to run the games on private servers. In fact that used to be standard. So you can still run a multiplayer match of Quake III, over 20 years after the game was created. Quake III might be old, not have as nice graphics or as lively a community, but it's objectively a better game than Overwatch, because you can fucking play it, which is the most important part of being a good game.

Quake III has a cultural longevity and legacy that Overwatch can never have. And that's because it's a game experience you can still have, it's something you can play now just like you can watch a movie like The Matrix, which is a movie that came out the same year. If you have old memories you can revisit them. And if you haven't played the game before, you can play it now. I have old memories of Quake III, mostly playing matches against bots, that I made around ten years after it was released. I like to think there is a 12-13 year old right now that might discover Quake III and enjoy it, just like i did over a decade ago.

That is a beautiful thing and Overwatch will never have that now. Old players revisiting it years, even decades after the fact. New players discovering it many years after it was released. Because it was destroyed by those who made it, and worse, it was designed to be disposable, designed to be destroyed. And I think you should be angry about that. Especially since its sequel is also dependent on a central server and will be destroyed in turned. As will many other games. And a lot of streaming only tv shows and movies (although those are easier to preserve via piracy than games).

Overwatch's legacy essentially amounts to this screencap from an Accursed Farms video, who has made some very good videos on the subject of game preservation.

my mom loves to lie and like she always swears she was NEVER homophobic or anything to me as a child “i even have a gay work friend” but a really funny memory resurfaced recently where i asked if i could use birthday money i had to buy a rainbow flag when i was like ??? 7?? because i LOVED rainbows. and she said no that means something Evil and god will hate you . so what did i do. but ask my grandmom for a rainbow sweater for christmas and proceed to only wear that sweater for three years when it got cold because i didnt like the idea that god hated colors and i wanted to challenge him

#id also stare really hard at the sky when i wore it because i wanted to see if he would #acrually strike me with lightning because i thought it would be a cool way to fie #die*** <- and no i didnt realize rainbow = gay for another SIX YEARS #that was AFTER years of g #‘google images girls kissing’#scratchpost #txt

we need to destroy the idea that girls should wear makeup. normalize bare faces on prom queens and flower girls and cheerleaders. no products at all instead of '7 product simple makeup routine.' no more 10 step skincare and regular facials and dermablading and gua sha just to be comfortable with yr natural face. i want to see eye bags on the funny librarian and acne on the swim coach and wrinkles on all our adult role models. i want to see a 16 year old girl that has never tried putting on eyeshadow. i want to see a 7 year old girl who doesn't have to go out and buy powder for her dance recital. i want to see trans women and girls everywhere to never have to wear makeup, regardless of how well they 'pass.' no more 'contouring to look masc' either. a post-beauty industry world is possible

reblogs are on but if you bring up the stage makeup point that i have addressed three times yr blocked on sight ☹️

#this is me warding myself against the b arbie m ovie shitstorm. </3 #too many teenage girls have had 'bimbo feminist' thrust upon them by the attention economy + consumer-feminist culture #its ok to just be fucking lame. like you can still be fem/me and stuff while doing it #there is a world where you can feel comfortable in yrself even if you arent Aesthetic #the makeup industry is trying to hinder this tho #plus i saw that post thats like. 'the reason we see a lot of casual pseudo-gender-essentialist and choice feminism rhetoric...#... is because we have fewer posts now that have basic feminist messages'#that resonated so i am the change i want to see in the world #i wanna try and make a r iot g rrrl masterpost for anyone getting into that side of things later so lmk if you want to see it

Tbh for me Sonic and Blaze are the most powerful characters, energy- wise. Followed up by Silver maybe.

Gods, I recently had to think about Warren Farrell, the father of all MRAs to write my essay. And I realized something, Farrell and Ray Blanchard not only share their misogyny but also look very similar. Like these two look like they got off the same assembly line for pseudointellectual misogynist men in 1940s USA. It's the neatly groomed beard to give a look of masculine but intellectual authority like a professor that does it, i think.

It's the fucking Architect from the Matrix movies look. The Architect is a computer program taking the form of a condescending old white dude, and the movies fucking nailed that. The Architect invents the matrix to control humans, they invent shitty theories like "men are the expendable gender" and "autogynephilia".
