As the Overwatch 2 thread showed, apparently Blizz might be thinking of adding "Mythic Skins" that might be 45$ and the only way to get them is buying those.
I personally dislike that. I would rather buy the game for 40-50$ and have the "old" system back as in you can get Lootboxes but you can also get coins and after playing enough (and it isnt too much grind) you can just buy the skins you want with the ingame currency (outside of those Overwatch league skins).
With OW2 I can feel, since it will be F2P, they most likely need to have the income via BP sales, exclusive paid skins etc.
Personally this feels far worse to me than buying the game once, then being able to get 99% of the content by playing.
If I now really would want a skin or some sort of content I have to shell out the equivalent of a full price game or half of that at least.
