Yes, but that was not a positive experience for OW2. It just killed the community.

And it wasn't the goal to appease the community, but the shareholders.

They wouldn't understand why a new product isn't earning like gangbusters when it's a sequel to a live service game. They only see a flop that "has to leech off" the profits of its predecessors, making it a liability in the eyes of those people. They mostly care about short term profits, not long term strategies.
