Blizzard nowadays - ethics etc (kbin.social)

I just saw a Steam ad about Diablo IV.
Got intrigued by it.
I have Diablo II and III. III was fun and I even played through it.

Then I started to think about the bad press I've heard about Blizzard.
I don't know/remember specifics as I haven't much followed the news. I do recall something about Overwatch though.

How's the situation nowadays?
Should I keep playing with Blizzard or boycott it?

Don't forget they shut down Overwatch1 servers so people would be forced to play the second one.

You left out the part where folks that PAID for OW1 were completely cut off from their purchase.

Yeah, but they can totally use the skins from OW1 in the ad infested atrocity that is OW2!

Yes, I gave OW2 a couple hours after confirming the skins carried over if you linked accounts. That was enough to hate the intrusive monetization and the gameplay changes.
