  <description>From Game of the Year and critical acclaim in 2016 to the most negatively reviewed game on Steam in 2023. Overwatch's journey as a game is a fascinating story, inextricably linked with the turmoil at Activision Blizzard and industry trends overall. I talk a bit about my extensive time with Overwatch 1 and identify a few key points where I think it all started to go wrong.
