Yeah, I think the first few years were profitable (excluding Overwatch League), but OW2 for sure hasn't been. I don't think OW1 was by the end either.

They had no way to make more money and it was a one time purchase. The switch to OW2 sucks, and it was exploitative as fuck and full of lies, but they did need some form of continuous revenue stream. It just wasn't the greedy way they went about it, pushing everyone away.
