True, but it's not that cut and dry. If someone who's played Overwatch "2" tells me it's Overwatch 1 with monetized competitive gameplay elements and no earnable cosmetics or any of the progression systems, that's not a statement of opinion. It's a fact, and it's easily verifiable. (also, this is me, someone who has played Overwatch since release, telling you that it's true)

Judging a game for something like that without having played it is valid. So I think, especially if you're objecting to engaging with a game on ethical grounds, there's a lot more room for judging a game without playing it than you'd think.

I don't know why you would not lisen to a source that checked it directly rather than a third party.

But sure, it will be much easier to speak objectively on some facts like the one you quoted, bypassing the need for the actual source of information.

So for speaking ethics for exemple i completely agree.

For buying the game though (that was my premise), i think it has it's limits. There is some informations that can be more subject to interpretation. Personally, those informations are often very relevant too.
