It’s 11:48 am on Monday, October 3, and I can’t play Overwatch 1 anymore. Bizarrely, the chat is still going, ticking away in the bottom left corner even though I can’t navigate past the main menu. “I hope you have a nice Christmas,” reads one message. “When do they shut the servers?” a chatter asks. “I want to see the Easter egg.” Several players start spamming “good game” messages in the chat, while many more attempt to sneak curses past Blizzard’s filter. Â “**** this ******* game” is the last message I read.Â
