As someone who was actually excited for Overwatch 2, man is it just one disappointment after another. From new heroes being locked away behind the battle passes, to the cosmetics system being complete garbage now, to now this... damn. Just damn. I was willing to forgive the three years they spent letting OW1 rot before they completely destroyed it, but everything has just been so bad.

This sucks, but they were upfront when PVE was announced that it would be paid, while PVP would be free.

That doesn’t excuse the PVP effectively not being so free with the hero unlock system, the $20 OW1 skins, or announcing that they’ve reduced the PVE scope to the point of invalidating the point of making a sequel and then STILL charging for it.

But it was always going to be paid.

What I'm waiting to see is whether there’s anything worth paying for here, or if we’re just being milked for the Archives missions we were already getting for free. Blizzard being Blizzard, I’m expecting the latter. This whole thing is just a masterclass in shitting the bed and being surprised when the community recoils.

I don't play overwatch, but a friend of mine tried to get a refund since the game he paid for didn't have any of the PvR content they originally advertised. They declined.

Now I see why. They are planning to double dip.
