Elmofongo: No because people here does not like online multiplayer games, especially if its Shooters.
I resent that remark. I have passionately played the Team Fortress line of games, ever since the original Quake TeamFortress. Nowadays I still play Team Fortress 2 several times a week. The reasons why I am not on Overwatch (or other similar online shooters, other than TF2):
1. Apparently it is not free-to-play, but you have to pay for the game upfront. I haven't yet paid a dime for TF2 (never say never though, I'm close to doing that in order to get the competitive gameplay mode, and to get more inventory space for weapons...), and I simply have some reluctance to pay for multiplayer-only games, because I feel the risk is too great that I won't just like the game e.g. due to the other players. Whenever I am disgusted by e.g. TF2, it is the other players, mainly people who play stupid, or people who cheat.
2. Multiplayer games are the kind of games where I don't need several games. Multiplayer games (esp. shooters) satisfy my competitive side, and I need only one relatively good game to quench that. At the moment it is TF2, so I simply don't see the point to try other (similar) games. I tried e.g. Counterstrike at some point, didn't like it much, so I kept playing Team Fortress (Classic) instead.
Single-player games are usually different, I may like them for completely different reasons (even merely liking the story or music in the game), and they tend to have a definite end (minus Minecraft), after which I look for some other single-player game.
So it is like that kid I know who just keeps playing Minecraft. That's the only game he cares about at the moment, it offers him everything he wants.
