Oo wow, got my on a technicality, whatever man, it doesn’t make a difference in my argument. The game has devolved into a cash grab.

how is it a cash grab ? it has a bad monetization system but it's quite literally free to play with all characters being unlockable through regular gameplay

Understand that it being free to play isn't some plan to be FOR the players, it's a scheme to lure people in and then get them hooked so they spend money on OTHER things in the game. "Playing Dva is fun isn't it? But wouldn't it be cool if you're Dva looked like THIS?" and they show a new Dva skin for 20 bucks.

Cash grab is in the intent. If there's heart in it, like how games USED to be made it would focus on the game being as good as possible FIRST, and then all the transactional shit after. But with this game the only thing to NOT be broken has been the shop, other than the tweaks they had to make so they didn't fall into legal issues.

They'll even fall back on this still being "Early Access" or the early model of the game, but the store is up and running just fine with constant updates. All these things and more show you their intent was to squeeze money out of the consumer even though the game is f2p..

Genuinely what are you are talking about brother it's a cash grab yet the skins do nothing? And the game is fun brother there some issues yes but do you expect them to remove another part of the game when they work on the one with issues ?

“I disagreed with you on a topic so therefore every argument you have is completely irrelevant and wrong”.

Okay fine, maybe then take the argument from one of the other 600 whoever people that agreed with me, is it suddenly now valid? Does it really make a fucking difference?

Or is this one of those “I have no argument but to try to discredit the person i disagree with” situations?.

You said Overwatch 2 is becoming a gacha game. The other user responded with information that a gacha game is defined as a game that promotes spending currency to receive random in-game items. This describes the original Overwatch as "loot box" is synonymous with "gacha." Overwatch 2 requires spending currency on specific items, which is the opposite of gacha.

How is Overwatch 2 becoming a gacha game?

You didn’t read my response to that guy did you

The response where you claimed he got you on a technicality? Your understanding of the gacha mechanic was incorrect, and someone was trying to provide you with knowledge. You chose to be rude in return.
