Overwatch 2 Is Stripping Away What Made Mythic Skins Worth The Grind
Blizzard has made some changes to the Mythic skin system in Overwatch 2 that have not gone over well with the game's community. The changes make it more difficult to earn Mythic skins and have also removed some of the features that made them unique. Mythic skins are the most prestigious type of skin in Overwatch 2. They are earned by completing a series of challenges, and they offer a number of unique features, such as the ability to customize the skin's appearance. However, the changes made in Overwatch 2 have made it much more difficult to earn Mythic skins. The challenges are now more time-consuming and require more skill to complete. Additionally, Blizzard has removed the ability to earn Mythic skins through loot boxes. This means that players can only earn Mythic skins by completing the challenges, which makes them much less attainable.
60 Games Have Already Been Killed, And 2023 Ain't Over Yet
A new report has revealed that over 60 games have been canceled or shut down in 2023 so far. This number is likely to increase before the end of the year. The report attributes the increase in game cancellations to a number of factors, including the rising cost of game development, the global economic downturn, and the increasing competition from other forms of entertainment. The cancellation of games is becoming more common, as publishers are becoming more risk-averse. This is due in part to the increasing cost of game development, which has made it more difficult for publishers to recoup their investment if a game is not successful. Additionally, the global economic downturn has made publishers more cautious about investing in new games. The increasing competition from other forms of entertainment, such as streaming services and social media, has made it more difficult for games to stand out and attract an audience.
