Did you play the OG, you could get basically everything for free. All it cost was time. OW2 is just an enshittified update
I did. You also had to pay $40 to play the game though.
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.
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.
