At this point I can only hope that Blizzard and Activision burn.

Well it's cliche but fitting. To quote The Dark Knight: "You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become a villain".

@The_Pug I would say it is more a problem of predatory companies like Blizzard, AE, etc. When a company start going that route it is a sign to stay away from them. Continuing playing their games means they can keep going greedier and greedier.

It's an unfortunate side effect of gamers, particularly younger ones (read: fortnite kiddies) getting used to the idea that constant in-game purchases of increasingly horrid value are the norm. Companies don't have to generate good will via gifts and deals anymore, cuz people will pay.

2/2 but you could eventually get everything for the two or three characters you mained without ever spending actual money.

Not like Diablo Immortal, where someone did the math and found it would take literal YEARS for ONE character.

I can't believe I'm saying this, but I miss Overwatch lootboxes. They gave you a whole bunch just for playing the game, and if you got dupes, they were instantly sold back to them for in-game currency so you could go buy the things you ACTUALLY wanted. It'd take a few months of regular play, 1/2

I'll be That Guy once in my life, and point out that Overwatch launched in 2016, so it didn't existed in 2014.

OW jokes aside. r6 siege for the past couple of years has also reduced the amount of gifting too. and upped the prices of each season pack.
I used to pay 100 a year on average, now it's over 100 per season, and lucky if they give any event package.

That's cute. You think there's going to be an Overwatch in nine years.

@Samuel - At this point, I think of anyone who plays Blizzard games still as having a case of Stockholme Syndrome. They have somehow managed to convince themselves that their games are still good.

Wait, people are still playing Overwatch 2? After they knee capped the player base, canceled features, dropped the quality of game pla yand nuked the original game servers?
