While I'm inclined to agree, when it comes to developers with a strong reputation for making fun competitive games, I can understand how it could make sense to just jump in immediately with lots of money.
The goal is obviously that if you make a big investment into a competitive scene, that may attract top tier talent from other games, and that talent will itself bring in more regular players and viewers.
- p1necone 4y agoYeah this is a fair take too. Riot seems to have been largely successful in this approach with Valorant. Blizzard tried with Overwatch but imo they tried to push an overly structured approach with too much top down control way too far.
- TulliusCicero 4y agoMaybe, but from what I heard, Overwatch was also left in the lurch when it comes to content for a long while.
