Gacha games’ “pulls” for heroes/weapons are legal and still being sold. So why can’t OW2 sell lootboxes since they are similar, just randomly pulling for skins.
They have to be cheaper than just buying the skins themselves. Do you think they will sell? Will players buy?
The fact that 2 legendary lootboxes will be part of the Premium track of the Battlepass is already problematic in my opion, but at least its guarantees a Legendary skin, and its guaranteed that you will get one that you don’t own yet.
