I’m thinking they killed overwatch just as an excuse to lay more people off.

You’re thinking they decided to intentionally trash a billion dollar franchise to lay off a few people?

eSports are essentially on the decline. A ton of players were let go, Faze is in danger of being delisted from the stock market, CLG just died, and there’s a bit of a recession. It just never made any money, and the VC loans eventually caught up to all the esports teams.
