Another controversy surrounding Overwatch 2. Blizzard is accused of cheating certain players after a community-requested change in its store.
Blizzard is definitely having a hard time clearing the controversy surrounding its cosmetics and shop. The publisher recently drew the wrath of the Overwatch 2 community again by forcing the purchase bunch sold at an exorbitant price, preventing players from individually obtaining outfits from the Halloween event. A few days of silence and surely spending thousands of dollars later, the developers finally nailed it skins seasonal for individual purchase.
Overwatch 2 and its store still annoy players
Overwatch 2’s Halloween event has caused another outcry. Eligible are the vent’s flagship outfits, which are only available in bunch sold for the modest sum of 2600 credits or around 26 dollars (and even on sale). Players were quick to ask Blizzard if the skins in question were available without purchasing all the additional cosmetic items, but the publisher didn’t deign to answer. After a few days, Kiriko’s witch outfit can be purchased individually.
Players can now pick up the skin in question as a single purchase from the Overwatch 2 Store for 1900 credits. A maneuver that did not miss the reaction of the community. ” After being locked in a 2600 credit bundle for a week, Kiriko the Sorceress is now available for 1900 alone. This is a disgusting move, a scam for those who just wanted the skin and had to stretch out 2600 coins. When you go to the store and select the pack and then the outfit, there is no option to just buy the skin. Some players will still believe that it will only be available through this overpriced bundle ‘ says one person from the community.
Blizzard is pulling out, are there any changes coming soon?
In response to the previous controversy, Blizzard stated in a post on its forums that ” offer great value for players looking to purchase all of the included items. To give players more options in how they can purchase their cosmetic items, we have enabled individual purchase of most items included in loot packs. the store. »
If you bought those bundle up by Kiriko at 2600 credits, unlucky because no commercial gesture seems planned. Since the game’s launch, Overwatch 2’s business model has been criticized by many critics. Aside from those famous packs, it’s also the number of credits required to unlock all the objects of the FPS, seasonal or not, that makes you cringe. One calculation has actually estimated that it would take some players three full centuries just to hope to unlock what they got for free in the first game. For its part, Blizzard could make changes to its microtransactions, according to a recent poll.
