Discussion Overwatch 2 Players Are Calling Out New $80 Weapon Skin As “Scam”

[SpartaN]

Overwatch 2 has once again found itself under intense scrutiny from its player base. The latest controversy is about a new weapon skin that costs $80, which many players are calling a clear “scam.”

The skin in question is a mythic weapon skin for a popular hero in the game. Although expensive skins are not new, the cost of this one has sparked a lot of anger among Overwatch players.

Fans feel that charging so much for a cosmetic item is unfair, especially since the price is similar to that of a new AAA game.

Lmao I stopped playing Overwatch 2 back last year and a friend was just telling me about this, crazy how even weapon interaction (the one u do in cs2) is also locked behind this

I don't get why people buy skins? If you really want them, just buy the battle pass you get so much more for way less.

"You can buy the Elden Ring DLC twice with that amount"
