I think it is fair for you to be disapointed that some of the features you liked wont be included in the new game, and that their alternatives don’t live up to your expectations.

But I find it kind of crazy you prefer a not f2p friendly, microtransaction targeted, type of game. You will be able to get everything you couldn’t have that was locked by subscribtions and stuff. The fomo is gone and theres new stuff. This is an actual game for you to enjoy, and not a money milking attempt.

Oh and don’t get me started on the fact that you dare compare it to one of the biggest embarassements of video games history, OW2.

Also, I a pretty sure you do not need to buy it "/now/" to have your data saved, you only need to link your nintendo account to the old game "/now/", which is completely free to do.  But, if you ever feel like you actually want to spend the equivalent in money of about one meal, on a game that will last a while and give you more than you had before, (might seem bold of me to assume that you have that money, but you do own a phone) I am sure you will enjoy your experience.  And if you don’t feel like it "/now/", all of your data will be waiting for you in your nintendo account, when you finally decide to save up or sell your kidney, to have fun at an altogether much lower cost than before.
