    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.

    I don’t know is the term “payware” is new, but it is the best description of Blizzard’s shitty sales practices. I remember when I played shareware, and you got to play the first few levels of a game, and if you liked it, you paid a single price to unlock the entirety of the rest of the game.

    Not that I’d be remotely interested in the skin (nor do I play OW2), but really Blizzard? You’d think that with all of the PR issues they’ve been facing lately with both games, that they wouldn’t pull something like this so quickly.
