Book excerpt: This essay sheds light on how Overwatch become a popular global gaming phenomenon and how Overwatch changed peoples lives. Moreover, how the average gamer can earn a living playing Overwatch is delineated in this essay. There are ample reasons as to why Overwatch evolved into becoming a global phenomenon as one of the utmost popular video games of all time. Overwatch's popularity goes beyond Overwatch simply launching as a Triple-A online first person shooter video game by a major video game publisher, Blizzard Entertainment. First and foremost, gamers are embracing the ample innovations that Overwatch has ushered into the first person shooter genre. Rather than being comprised of characters that feel only marginally different from one another just like the vast majority of online first person shooter video game, Overwatch unequivocally offers a mesmerizing breath of fresh air to the its genre by having a copious amount of playable characters which have unique character abilities, epic ultimate abilities, and compelling personalities. The inclusion of unique character abilities and epic ultimate abilities that are hero specific is a gamer changer and allows every hero to feel truly novel and not just a carbon copy with subtle differences of other playable characters, unlike the characters in other online first person shooter video games, such as Call of Duty Blacks Ops 4 and Battlefield 5. In other words, the uniqueness of the game mechanics and zaniness of the hero characters is something that is eminently appealing and keeps gamers coming back to partake in the lunacy of the Overwatch online multiplayer matches that are outright fun to play. In Overwatch, the unexpected can always be expected. This is because, the hero characters are so unique and have astonishing abilities, such as Tracer being able to reverse time or Sombra being able to teleport. These unique hero abilities add a plethora new dynamics to the first person shooter genre which have never before been experienced. In order to truly understand the thrill of playing Overwatch, you will need to experience the game for yourself first hand to staunchly understand just how chaotic and crazy the Overwatch multiplayer matches can be relative to the online multiplayer matches of other first person shooter games, such as Call of Duty Black Ops 4 and Battlefield 5. Second, besides the innovative and unique gameplay mechanics that distinguish Overwatch from the bevy of other online first person shooter video games, Overwatch is highly accessible to gamers since it is available on PC, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4. This means that the gamers ranging from the casual console gamer to the avid PC gamer can easily commence playing Overwatch since it is not exclusive to any particular platform and is available on almost all major gaming platforms. Third, Overwatch has intuitive and eminently streamlined control schemes. This allows Overwatch to have far more sustaining power and greater appeal than the average game since any gamer can easily begin playing the game, irrespective of their skill level. If the controls were complex, unresponsive, and clunky then most gamers would be deterred from playing Overwatch since abysmal control schemes render an otherwise fun game unplayable. Fourth, beyond Overwatch having a diverse cast of heroes from a myriad of cultural backgrounds which the player base can relate to, Overwatch offers a cornucopia of new free content which Blizzard Entertainment does not lock behind pay walls as paid downloadable content, unlike other video games companies, such as Electronic Arts. In other words, Overwatch offers its players access to new heroes, game modes, maps, and seasonal events for free. Moreover, gamers can unlock new skins, sprays, highlights, emotes, icons, voice lines, and victory poses for free without having to buy them. Unlike most video games, Overwatch has undergone major changes post being released to become more robust and dynamic.
