yeah, the physics are super fucky too. it might be fun if everyone moved twice as fast

but but but but it's in honor of the Olympic Games, it's a truly noble homage, not at all a cash grab for folks to spend cash on more loot boxes in the hope they'll get a skin for Tracer where she has a bandana and slightly different shoes!!!!

there's nothing shocking or offensive about overwatch existing to sell digital hats. that's the business model. it's like saying that Burning Crusade was a cash grab to get more WoW subscribers.

personally, i'm glad that gabe convinced the world that the best way to make money on competitive video games is by selling crates and cosmetic items. it's a heck of a lot better than the "pay to win" nonsense that was popular for a while.

I think th difference is that Overwatch is a slot machine and you can get duplicates that just delete themselves or whatever. At least when you sub for wow you know what you're getting.

dota 2 produces an endless stream of insanely twisted gamers, but without it, tracer would never have existed to heal anyone's soul. it's basic coin theory.

you joke je but i literally think the loot crates in this game are loving awesome. not bringing the model to other games? Gently caress that noise, all games should be f2p and have microtransactions.

You can send me money to buy loot crates, and I'll take pictures of what I get and send them to you. It'll be like they're yours.
