Overwatch 2 is charging you for the PvE it didn't cancel (www.rockpapershotgun.com)

At this point it seems that Blizzard can't decide what it wants to do with Overwatch. It seems kind of baffling how they've handled what is basically a live service cash cow.

I still don't understand why the community has been so tolerant of blizz forcing a sequel so they can directly charge money for skins.

OW2 came with some genuinely good gameplay changes (depending on who you ask. The topic of 5v5 is contentious at best.) that made the game feel legitimately fresh. Could it have been a "2.0" patch/expansion instead of being presented as a sequel? Probably. But skins are optional as always because the real meat of the game was the gameplay since the start.
