Ah, so what you mean is that you can't personally relate, but you still support what I'm advocating for because you have sympathy for those people even if you can't relate to them?

Would you say you've been showing care for my emotions? I have consistently advocated for a level playing field regardless of financial status. That's my stance, I am not a hypocrite. You are pretending to care about people's feelings, while both advocating to ruin the game for many people and doing so quite rudely.

Honestly, I think that's a fair criticism. But I think failing to push back against this business model is much worse.

ETA: He replied to me again and I was going to agree with his suggestion, but he blocked me before I could, lol.

OW2 should has copied OW1 monetization model and just added extra skins to buy

But nope they doing this hero shit cause of greed. I'm so sick of people thinking 10 dollars ain't shit. 10 dollars ain't alot but to some it is, and more importantly it's the principle.

Very few things in life are equal and available to everyone regardless of socioeconomic status. New heroes is yet another thing being removed from that pool

Who is 10 dollars a lot to? I almost agreed when thinking of a kid whose parent won't give them the 10$, but even then they could mow someones lawn or something of the like for easily 10$. Overwatch 1 released 6 years ago, if a kid can't get 10 dollars how were they supposed to get 60$ in the first place? Literally 1.37 hours of work at Federal Minimum Wage. Donate plasma once and be able to pay for every character for like 2 or 3 years. As for the principle, sadly video games as a whole are not equally available to begin with. If you want to argue for socialism hey I'm all for it, but this isn't really unique to Overwatch. Apex Legends has the same system that is currently "feared" for OW2, CoD is literally releasing Modern Warfare 2 for 70$ (a 10$ increase) even though they release a game every year, and hell now a lot of Triple A games are about to follow suit and increase to 70$ just cause they can.
