winston overwatch is fun

[quote=@Fabricant451]Overwatch 2 will not last as long as OW1 did because the entire design doc for OW2 reeks of "if we say it's free to play we can monetize the player way more than ever because long term players stop spending on loot boxes because they have everything already but now with battle passes and the promise of 'regular updates' and 'missable cosmetics' we can rake in the cash!"[/quote]

TBH i hate battle passes too but i feel like you get more bang for your buck this way. You get 80 different cosmetics (skins, charms, sprays, etc) for only $10 ($5 ish if you grind out and spend all your weekly challenge credits on it). Yeah, the fact that things get locked away forever if you don't buy the pass is dumb, but you have two months to grind out the entire thing. What really needs to be addressed is that the battle passes skins look better (plus the fact you get more things) than you would spending on a good majority of the skins that are going for like $20 bucks a pop.

I mean, I guess, but no one complains about Blizzard boosting everyone to the 2nd latest WoW expansion whenever there's a new one. If I'm going to complain about Overwatch going F2P I might as well complain about everyone else getting essentially a free game every few years or so that I paid for myself.

That said you should still have everything you had on your account at the time (merging accounts and what not depending on platform), so it isn't like things are gone. I honestly feel like the money I originally spent years ago was converted into the fact that I have exclusive edition skins that new players won't be able to unlock because OW1 no longer exists. That and I have all the other items from the edition I bought in other games too.

Also lol @ everyone getting 10k-40k queues, mine are almost always around 500-600, with only a small few being 1k-2k.
