Overwatch 2 is finally bringing back 6v6 with tests to decide OW’s future (www.dexerto.com)

Lol. After all these years they're thinking of rolling back the 5v5 changes. To quote someone from Reddit:

PVE was dropped, heroes are free again, and now 6v6 is back. Blizzard spent the last couple of years turning overwatch 2 back into Overwatch 1.

Edit: See also the developer's blog post about this, which goes into great detail explaining their decisions over the year and how we got here. Really worth a read if you are (or were) an OW player.

And now it's $40 for a skin. What's your argument? Lots of people already bought the game and were forced into the current system.

My argument is don't buy them. It's really that simple.

[–] Tedrow@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

I agree with not buying them. I'm simply saying that Blizzard pulled the rug from the people that bought the first game.

Nobody is arguing that, I dont buy skins in games. The point is that a lot of people are cosmetic-minded and manipulated into spending large amounts of money on skins and other customisations, the system shouldnt exist.
