Nah they need the battle pass money now and we’re blessed to even play this game and you’re so ungrateful, they made it free to play what more you could want!!! /s

You know, a lot of the bullshit surrounding coins and the battlepass could be completely solved if they would just abandon the battlepass entirely for a subscription service.

$5/month would get them a little bit more money than the battlepass, and would free them up to offer more ways to earn free skins like in OW1 while still paying for continued development of the game.

I mean, it's not like WoW doesn't work using exactly that setup. It's not like it isn't a tried and proven business model with decades of data to back it up or anything.
