There has been ongoing dissatisfaction among Overwatch 2 players regarding the pricing of in-game skins. Complaints have surfaced about legendary skins being offered at full price despite minimal changes, such as simply adding a hat to a character like Junkrat. Additionally, concerns have been raised over exclusive skins like Lilith Moira being locked behind expensive Battle Pass bundles. As the game nears its second year, players continue to voice their discontent with the current pricing model for cosmetics. The frustration was highlighted in a Reddit thread where a player criticized the pricing strategy, describing it as targeting those who are willing to spend large sums on cosmetics without hesitation.
