This may sound petty but it’s getting pretty tiring that every skin I buy is just thrown into a bundle basically given out for free as some perk. I’m referring to the new Game Pass bundle that includes skins like Cyberdragon Hanzo, StreetRunner Genji, Honeybee Mercy, etc. I know that technically you have to pay for game pass but people that have already had it (me included) get it for free. As well as people could just use the free trial, get the skins, and then cancel it. It’d be more appropriate to offer new skins instead to entice people, however I’m aware that blizzard is just a small indie company and asking for that much effort is very taxing.

The issue is not that paid skins are being given out for free when technically like you said it is not free, but the pricing of the skins was and still is ridiculously overpriced.

It is simple. Stop giving them money and you won’t have that problem.

Thats how i feel. If it were 5$, whatever. But the fact that they are 20$ skins makes buyer’s remorse hit like a truck.

I know I should stop 
, they just show up in everyones account 2 months later
If you wanted skins because they costed money, I am not sure what to tell you. You are technically playing the right game. You just need to get better at choosing the more valuable skins. Think of it as a mini-game.

sadly its just one of many terrible qualities that f2p/live service-ness has brought to this game.
ow1 wouldn’t have had this problem. and if it did, so what, bc the game was paid for in the first place.

I’m all for things not being exclusive/time limited for FOMO (I wanted pink mercy and demon Hunter Sombra to return despite already owning both)-
-but I’ve been burned by this “free skin that was once a shop skin” three times. I’m ok with people getting the opportunity to buy things whenever, but making something I paid for free around a year later STINGS.
I’m just going to stop spending on the shop altogether unless it’s one of my top 3 most played heroes. It’s better for my wallet in the long run anyway lol
