Overwatch is much, much too expensive.

First of all, the game is 60$ on X1 so it´s priced the same amount as every other AAA game. And if you look at a game that has MP+SP for 60$ where the MP has as much content as Overwatch (and it doesn´t seem to have much MP content either) why is it motivated to charge 60$ for the MP only game? I am not saying it has to have a SP campaign in order to be full-priced, what I am saying is that we need to stop paying these sums of money for games with low content because it further pushes the industry towards a pay-to-play model in the future.

How about you realize that not every game needs to have a single player campaign. Just because you like it doesn't mean that every game NEEDS it in order to be good.

also, pay to play?! Last I checked, people didn't need cosmetic skins to play. Clearly you don't have the game but are keen to judge it and it's "future message"

First of all, you should read my entire post, where I say the game doesn´t necessarily have to have SP, but rather have a lot of content.

If I ask you this instead: why do you think the game is priced at 60$ on console and 40$ on PC? I am well aware that the loot crates are mainly cosmetic skins, but why do you think they have them and charge money for them? Why do you think it´s fairly easy to gain levels in the beginning and harder further on, making it harder to get the loot crates? And do you think Blizzard would have even considered this ten years ago, considering how the industry looked then? They obviously see the market for it, since people buy into it and they will continue to push this as long as people buy it.
