Sad but true. Overwatch's popularity has always puzzled me.

It's the same reason Pixar movies are popular, Overwatch and Fortnite are easily palatable art styles.

I love the Gears franchise but it will never do 360 numbers again because that art direction is now for a very niche base.
The art style for these games is a factor so i don't disagree, but they aren't the first games to use it so I wouldn't owe their success to just that.

Overwatch is just a fun game with unique gameplay and characte people actually give a fukk about. Gameplay again with Fortnite. They found niches in their respective genres and executed the fukk out of them. It's really that simple, and being backed by A1 developers who know how to target their audiences and keep them engaged helps.

Take a year off and come back with a free to play cartoony gears of war clone..no story, just fun multiplayer shyt. Gotta get the kids to play your game for it to be a mainstream success, so the cartoony visuals is a must
