And 7 years after the fact, how is your one time $40 purchase still paying to keep the servers running?
I don’t like the monetary scheme that Blizzard settled on for OW2, I’m never paying $25 for a skin, but the $10 battle pass every 2 months is reasonable in my opinion.
If that battle pass contained all of that season’s cosmetic content and followed a FOMOless scheme more similar to Halo MCC or Deep Rock Galactic, I think most people wouldn’t complain but clearly we have whales that are willing to dump stupid amounts of cash on singular skins.
I love how you’re pretending that the exact business model Blizzard operated on successfully for 15 years doesn’t work.
The company as a whole is profitable, and have been for at least the last few years. I’m on mobile so I’m not able to read their annual investor reports, but do they actually mention overwatch being a loss for the company on a premium model, or are you assuming that?
I’m making assumptions but I don’t think it’s asinine to assume that they would rather run their service with a constant steady income from a subscription model rather than a one time purchase over the period of half a decade. It would have been one thing if they released paid expansions to the base game every few years but they never did that.
It also doesn’t matter if the company as a whole is profitable if Overwatch itself isn’t. They aren’t Kirkland with the food court hotdogs or rotisserie chickens, as in trying to use Overwatch to pull people into their other games even though it’s a net negative for them to continue to support.
What do you even accomplished by white Knight ingredients for a big media company with a long history of shitty business practices?
