Why is Overwatch selling skins bad again?

>bad again
What happened the first time?
>pay for game
>pay for skins
As long as they don't affect gameplay I don't care but also I don't think this game is good for anything but looking at Widowmaker's ass so I dunno
>>323463412
Nothing.
But I don't trust Blizzard to finance the game solely on cosmetics, they've will add items that provide competitive edge in a manner that is techically free but requires unfeasible amount of work for anyone but the most dedicated grinder.

Yeah, I really wouldn't care if it was a free game that needed to make money by selling skins but it feels really shitty when I already have to pay $40 to play the game. Especially when blizzard's shit is always so overpriced.

Ah yes, because being f2p and very known has done wonders for TF2 eh?
>>323464882
I don't know anything about TF2 because I only played the console version.
All I'm saying is that back in my day you'd get skins just for playing the game. Even heroes of the storm gives you colors/skins for playing.
Sure it's just cosmetic stuff, but I don't see the point in paying good money for a game when I can pay nothing for the same nickle and dime experience.

People are just upset it's not a free to play model
There's nothing wrong with selling skins on a paid game as long as they don't have pay2win stat boosts on them

This
Who cares if they try to sell you some skins? You hardly ever see your character anyways
>>323465616
Overwatch is about switching to heroes that benefits your team, not grinding one singular hero all match for a skin.
Besides, they need post launch money to fund future updates somehow, and it keeps fags out.

Weapon skins and themed abilities like in HotS.

It's a blizzard game. Expect several million copies to be sold day one. Additionally the game is selling at $40 and is on 3 platforms. Financing the game with just cosmetics is easy as shit

Just like how Call of Duty keeps all the fags out with it's $60 price tag?
No offense but if someone thinks that more money = better community they're retarded. Maybe you'll have less people speaking portuguese, maybe.

>play cs 1.6, download cool k-on skin for my gun
>play overwatch, pay 9.99 $ for a cupcake skin.

Literally kill yourself.
>Overwatch thread about a week ago
>Some people were complaining about how the game should not have micro-transactions even if they're just cosmetics that don't actually effect the gameplay
>Kept saying if they pay for a game that it should come with everything and the skins were bullshit
>Me and several other people question why it's bad if it's just cosmetics
>Everyone else calls us all shills
I don't like shitposting one bit.
