If they’re still playing OW2 then it’s pretty obvious that nothing Blizzard does will make them stop. The fact that they’re complaining about the price’s amount rather than the price itself is proof that Blizz already has them on the hook.

I’m still playing, but only for the love of the game. I’ve long since lost hope of unlocking skins and stuff since OW2 replaced OW. The monetization is horrible, but if you’re fine without the cosmetics, the game is mostly the same.

If one day I start caring enough about a videogame cosmetic to the point of whining publicly to make it more affordable, someone find me and murder me please

Obviously it doesn’t justify such a predatory way of trying to squeeze money from your users, but if someone has the compulsion to spend $40 on a cosmetic item in a video game then I think they might have issues with addiction.

Which is why they groom you with loot boxes first. The younger they start getting you used to paying for stuff like this the better, hence surprise eggs with like 25 cents worth of 3d printed shit in them targeted at 4 year Olds.

I see your point, but with kinder eggs you’re paying for the chocolate (and the toy has been a thing for longer than 3D printers!)

This is a little sensationalized, $40 is a lot, and it’s more than past season pass ultimate bundles, but it’s not just one skin for $40 like a lot of people want you to believe.

Is it shitty that the only way to get the skin is through the bundle? Undoubtedly, but it’s not any worse than the industry standard.

Why did you phrase that vicious condemnation like an excuse?

You’re taking it like an excuse; I despise what the gaming industry has turned to, it’s just the reality of things.

If they still play this piece of shit there is hardly much they can complaint about.

You, yes, you are the reason this exists in the first place.
