Then they would be down. It's the same servers. It's the same game. People have called this 2.0 for a reason and they're not wrong. A new interface and unlock system doesn't magically make this a whole new game with it's own servers. It's the same assets, same levels, same modes, same characters, same everything. This would be like getting sad over Mario Kart 8 Deluxe because it isn't original Mario Kart 8.
Most people here even joked about this game being 2.0 and not actual 2, but now suddenly those same people are up in arms that OW 1 is somehow dead. I've played the game today before the servers started acting funny. It's the exact same game but 5v5. Choose which thing to complain about, but it literally can't be both.
I've never seen a fan base overreact more.
The game is now free so people like me who never played the original can try it out...but from what I've seen and heard, it's the same exact game that everybody loves. The content is still there, all your unlockables are there, gameplay is just tuned like other PvP games with nerfs/buffs etc.
