What if Overwatch was the same game but with wildly predatory microtransactions, overpriced skins, and no progression system. You've just made Overwatch 2.
Here we are again with another F2P game that learns zero lessons from Fortnite. Put premium currency in your pass and make it easy to level up! Encourage people to play your game because it's fun to progress. Don't encourage them to play under the threat of falling behind.
Biggest bummer about all this is that the game itself is actually fun as heck. After the server issues were resolved, I hopped on for a few hours and had a blast. I loved Overwatch and sank dozens of hours into it back in the day. I would love to play more Overwatch... it just sucks that the new hook Blizzard wants you to chomp down on basically requires you to spend money.
+ More Overwatch
- It's just more Overwatch
- Terrible microtransaztions
