There's plenty of reasons to criticize or be worried about the game. But it's so transparent when people are clearly looking for reasons to be negative.
Yeah, I can read dude. It's still too much.
I feel like any time I see you in a thread you're arguing with people about things just for the sake of doing it. It's okay for people to express their dislike for something.
It's over the course of nine and a half days. It doesn't have to be in one sitting.
You literally just open up a tab and let it run in the background if you don't actually care about watching lol. Not a big deal whatsoever.
I'm aware of the time window and that you don't have to actually be paying attention, and I stand by my comment.
Is it really free? They are asking you to do something in exchange of something else. No matter how easy you think the task is, it is not free.
Also, on mobile at least, you can also set it to audio-only, turn the volume of your device all the way down, and have it on in the background and still receive drops.
Yes cause that user was clearly talking about it in context of spending money on the game's shop.
Can't tell if it's a joke och troll tbh.
To me it's 110% free since I'm not spending any money to get this skin, having a stream hidden in the background or activately watching one of my favorite streamers and eventually hitting that 6 hour mark is nothing.
How does one 're-link' their accounts? If you see a valid link there on your battle.net connection page do you have to unlink and then wait the 7 days to link again?
Does that matter? Blizzard is gaining something from you having your tab open for 6 hrs. The price for that skin is small compared to what they are getting from you boasting twitch numbers and marketing for the game.
You are comparing if 6 hrs of watching ow is worth $20 for a skin. How is that free?
if it says connected here you should be fine. Some peoples connections didn't reset.
Gotcha. Thanks. I'll verify it still says 'connected' when the promotion itself starts too.
Does it matter? You're arbitrarily drawing a line at 6 hours. If it was just a page you went to to hit a button, you'd still be saying it's not free.
You know people watch other people play games for fun right?
Blizzard is now just paying you to do so with a 20 eur skin.
I'm still surprised other games don't adopt this model. At best it's like "Here's a QR Code you can scan and get rewards in your game" or something, you'd think someone like Warner Bros. for example would have a "Watch Multiversus Streams to get a Shaggy Skin" more often, I guess they did it for the beta access. Just surprised it's not used more often.
My workstation has multiple screens so I could pull this off easily without having to actually even watch.
You don't even need to be watching it. Have it muted in another tab during your regular web browsing or while watching OTHER content. Have it muted in a tab while playing a game. There are plenty of ways to passively earn Twitch rewards it's a total non-issue. Not just for OW but for other games/perks too.
I'll just stick it on my tablet that's on the charger and forget about it until later. Nice to have an extra skin besides the default for a new character.
If that's the case, then I guess playing OW2 for free is not actually free because Blizzard is gaining something from it. Yeah, no.

Same thought as well. It's why I didn't even include them in the title lol
They'll have the views anyway. "Watch 6 hours for a skin" has been done before and it's not going to catapult them to #1 if they're not already.

I'll try to bump the thread when it starts for anyone that needs a reminder.
For those unsure how this works, you'll need a Twitch Account that is attached to your Blizzard Account.
Then you just find Overwatch 2 streams that are "Drop Enabled" and after the viewing amount, you'll unlock it (Even if you jump from Streamer to Streamer).
If you're like me, you'll just fine a streamer and leave your stream idle.As long as you don't fully mute the video the time will count (I have been doing similar for Halo drops).Apparently, you can mute streams and still get drops. Just keep an eye on how the challenge is tracking. To be safe, I would just say mute the tab and not the player itself.
Active Twitch Drop Campaigns can be found here:
I just wanted to point out that the Twitch drops ONLY works on PC and mobile, but NOT consoles and streaming devices:
