Non-essential and predatory are not mutually exclusive, especially given Blizzard’s history of player manipulation. They have perfected the science of making you want someone that you don’t need.

Did you play the OG, you could get basically everything for free. All it cost was time. OW2 is just an enshittified update

I did. You also had to pay $40 to play the game though.
Tedrow@lemmy.world 3 months ago
And now it’s $40 for a skin. What’s your argument? Lots of people already bought the game and were forced into the current system.

I mean, cars aren’t essential to existence either, just don’t buy them <-- technically correct, but not at all a helpful statement when discussing car-price-related issues.
