A recent 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Overwatch 2 surve🧸y suggested $45 skins could soon become a reality, but the stu🌞dio now tells GamesRadar+ that isn't the case.

For some background, a survey went out within the last week asking Overwatch players if they would shell out $45 for premium skins in the sequel, and to the surprise of literally nobody who's ever played a video game, f🌸olks weren't thrilled about the implications.

. "I hope this is just him getting one of the higher price surveys and not an indication that they're leaning towards this much monetization."

We reached out to Blizzard when the survey started being shared around the internet, and today we have a response. According to the studio, 𒆙the $45 value was randomized and isn't "indicative of final pricing."

"This survey is entirely intended to better understand player preferences for different types of Overwatch 2 cosmetics," said an Overwatch spokesperson. "Prices𒊎 displayed in the survey were randomized per user and are not indicative of final pricing. We plan to share detaওils on our Shop and Battle Pass system closer to our Oct. 4 launch."

Of course, while somewhat reassuring, this isn't a hard confirmation that there won't be exorbitant microtransactions in Overwatch 2, especially since we now know 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:it'll be a free-to-play game, and those have increasingly become hot beds for that kind🍨 of stuff.

Here's why the Overwatch 2 free-to-play model might be a mistake.

After earning an English degree from ASU, I worked as a corporate copy editor while freelancing for places like SFX Magazine, Screen Rant, Game Revolution, and MMORPG on the side. I got my big break here in 2019 with a freelance news gig, and I was hired on as GamesRadar's west coast Staff Writer in 2021. That means I'm responsible for managing the site's western regional executive branch, AKA my 💖home office, and writing about whatever horror game I'm too afraid to finish.
