Overwatch 2is seemingly the gift that keeps on disappointing, with the latest problem being premium-pricedDiablo 4skins.

The latest Season 7 bundle includes the latest Battle Pass, as well as two Diablo IV skins for Moira and Pharah. Moira’s new skin sees her become the main antagonist of the latest Diablo game, Lilith, whereas Pharah’s sees her don the armour of the rogue angel Inarius.
While the new skins do look pretty cool, their price has caused controversy amongst the community, as the bundle will set you back a whopping $40, almost the price of a brand-new game.
Overwatch2’smicrotransactions have been the main source of outrage for players, with many believing just because the game is free to play, doesn’t mean Blizzard can justify the ridiculous prices in its item shop. Recently, the game came under fire for backpedalling on its free story mission content, instead choosing tocharge players separately to access them.
Now the new Diablo skins are just adding further flame to the fire, and to make things worse, it’s been reporting that players using the skins are getting hate-bombed in online matches.

Fans sympathised, many of which agreed that you can disagree with Blizzard’s microtransaction practices without harassing people that don’t mind them.
“all i think is damn that skin looks pretty good, they must have a lot of expendable income, as far as harassing someone that’s NUTS”
