“Wow, that deal is horrible! Why would Blizzard put out such a terrible deal for $40? Do they think we’re stupid?”
“erm, you don’t NEED to pay the $40! Just accept gaming has moved on without you! It’s normalized to pay $40 for the bare minimum content nowadays! Stop whining!”
“?”
Publishers spent the last years of the PS3/360 era and all of last gen conditioning people. This stuff seems normal to people that started gaming within the last decade unfortunately. It only gets worse from here
The only people for which it’s a bad deal is people who already own Overwatch. For anyone else, it’s actually a pretty good deal.
True. Especially the part about the Legendary Edition being free. Really grinds my gears, as somebody who bought the Legendary Edition while it was on sale not even a month ago.
This is called “losing”. Why should we accept that that devs can milk us for all we’ve got and offer us dregs in return?
This right here is all one needs to spank these whiners tbh
It’s not about it being optional. It’s about the fact that it’s $40 for some rubbish that nobody even knows the value of. They’re being intentionally vague about it to get money out of people.
Then dont buy it case closed lol
You actually have no brain. easy block.
Yeah truth is hard to swallow sometimes
I mean, you’re going to have to buy the battlepass if you want cosmetics buddy, that’s how the business model works. This is just a pre-order bundle with some extra stuff.
If you don’t care about cosmetics then just don’t but it? Pretty easy solution. The game itself is free.
Why are people getting mad at people spending THEIR money?
we don’t even know which cosmetics.
If I told you I will sell you something super awesome for 40 dollar, would you buy it? 
I am not surprised after people defending paying Nintendo to use their own internet.
“Vampire Survivors”: I paid 2.37€, get regular updates and the game is fun.
This industry needs to cleanse itself. Vote with your wallet.
I don’t want to spend $40 for beta access. But I still would like to play in the beta (and not at the very end).
No, they just know that early beta access is more important to people than the rest of it.
Because the schemes through which your money are being spent are disagreeable to us, and the more people do it the more intense it becomes over time. It’s the slow boil - It started with simple DLC, which had exactly the same response from people who saw where it was going.
DLC is positively benign compared to battlepasses. Where do you think we’ll be a decade from now?
My biggest issue is the selling of Beta access and not being clear whether or not there’s still going to be the stream watching route. That part comes off pretty darn sleazy.
2nd issue is the lack of clarity on the value of the currency and Pass.
If it weren’t for those things, I could just write it off as something nice for new players. The problem is it that feels like they’re trying to bait old players into making a bad deal.
I genuinely don’t know how people are buying this before we even know
They’re basically just selling a mystery box at this point, unless you really like the two skins, there’s no reason to buy this without more info
We actually know the value .
2 legendary skins : 2000 points each so 4000 of value .
1 premium pass : 9.99$ (1000 in game currency )
2000 currencies : 19.99$
1 preorder icon : no value
Ow2 beta : no value
Ow1 legendary : 59.99$
Where did i get those values ? Every others games that has the same monetization. Fortnite, rogue company, bloodhunt , apex , etc etc . Warzone is 2400 points for 19.99$ and a legendary pack is 19.99$.
Totally worth it in my opinion. You guys are just salty because you were used to those illegal loot boxes.
