  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.

      No you should not, you should add her as a red flag on your dating profile.

        I appreciate the kind words, I was just joking around. I’m a happily taken man with a great girlfriend. To those considering bad choices, I promise the unknown is scary but has much greater rewards than going back to something that already failed.

  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.

      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.

        My argument is don’t buy them. It’s really that simple.

  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.
