Fast forward a little bit, and Fortnite releases and takes the video game industry by storm. It would come with the promise of live updates and fresh content including new heroes and new maps.
Originally, the popular FPS was always meant to be a one-time purchase. Or how almost entire teams are turning over and citing you as the reason. This would allow us, the players, to get ahold of more content sooner, because time was running out.īobby, tell everyone about the random projects for OW1 you all would shove on us, the team would do OT for only them to get cancelled and for months of OW2 dev to have been lost. This led to the decision to split the PvP and PvE sections of the game into two separate release dates. This is what this sequel was meant to do, but it had to be so much more, and fast. Something big had to happen to save Overwatch. Given the backlash (opens in new tab) over Diablo Immortal's gacha-like monetization, the reaction to the skin prices might convince Blizzard to keep prices lower.īlizzard said it will go into specific details about its battle pass and shop plans closer to Overwatch 2's October 4 launch date.It was clear from the lack of content on the live game, the sheer lack of updates regarding the sequel and the Blizzard revelations that something had to change.

Legendary Apex Legends skins cost about $18 and Valorant weapon skins can range from $10 to $100. In the past, Overwatch sold the Pink Mercy skin (opens in new tab) for $15, but 100% of that money went directly to charity, and it frequently sells skins tied to Overwatch League tokens (which you can get for free by watching matches) for about $10.

You can buy at least one good game with that money. "Yeah, I'm not buying a skin for $44.99 lmao, they're crazy for thinking that.
