Another DLC gets reviewed poorly.
There’s something about Activision Blizzard and Steam that the two parties just haven’t quite seen eye to eye over the last year. And by that I mean Activision is really bad at releasing bundles on Steam and actually getting people their purchases in a timely fashion.
Normally you’d expect DLC bundles to just show up on your account immediately. At least that’s what Steam users are expecting. But back in December I wrote about the Overwatch 2 Season 8 bundle getting slammed in reviews because people were buying it and just not receiving anything.
In February Activision released the Season 9 bundle for Overwatch 2 and it got slammed in reviews for exactly the same reason. And when I say Activision made people wait to receive their stuff, I don’t mean that it wasn’t here faster than a Little Caesars delivery. Going by the reviews, many people were waiting days if not at least a week and in some cases longer for their account to reflect their purchase. The season 9 bundle ended up with a 13% rating.
Well Season 10 is out and lo and behold Activision still hasn’t fixed the problem. The Season 10 bundle has a 25% negative rating with the comments focusing on the simple fact that the game isn’t actually delivering their purchases.
Will Activision figure things out? It doesn’t seem like it.
