Maybe specifically this game or any game in general. I don’t understand how there are so many multiplayer games, but I can’t play them with my friend. Am I missing something?
Are there ways to play 2 player, in OW2, that I don’t know about?
For example, can I run two instances of the game. And play splitscreen?
splitscreen not possible (or not officially supported)
everyone needs their own device with online access
But what if I only have a gaming computer and my friend doesn’t. Then how can I play together with my friend?
There has to be a way, not?
Like do I really have to buy 2 gaming laptops, just so that I can play a game with my friend? And I need to buy tge game two times aswell?
I guess I can rent a cloud computer and play with my friend that way.
Sadly, everyone needs their own device, be it console or computer.
If you’re trying to play the story missions with them, everyone needs to buy them for their accounts.
If you just want to play regular pvp matches, you don’t need to pay for anything in the game.
It’s a free install.
hahahah sorry I completely forgot ow2 is free. 
I do want to try to play story mission tho. And try out diablo 4. with my friend via cloud computer. Maybe refund if he doesnt like it.
How many play hours does ow2 story missions have before refund is no longer possible? d4 I assume its 2 hours. Not sure how it is counted.
I think ow story missions are only refundable if not used. since its an ingame item. but I dont know.
I’m not sure if they are refundable. I do not know how refunding works on overwatch.
Everyone needs to buy the missions if you want to play them.
The missions are very expensive for what they are. It’s only 3 missions.
