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.

Yes, I actually read many of your posts where you parrot on about how the game is low content an show people shouldn't buy it lest they spread a bad message.

My issue with your posts is:

a) you make assumptions that the game will spread a bad message (simply because it does not have enough content for you). You then go on to tell people NOT to buy the game.

b) most of your arguments are exaggerations. Ex: overwatch is not pay to play and will never be pay to play (I don't know how you get that from cosmetic packs). Another ex: you fail to mention that the exp needed for a loot crate caps at 22000 exp (so loot crates don't become impossible to achieve as you continue to play.

As to your mentioned question: "why do you think the game is priced at $60 on console and $40 on pc?" Simple, Sony and Microsoft need a cut off of every console sale. Battle.net is owned by blizzard so they don't need to offset the platform cost. If the it was on steam, it probably would have been $60.

Edit: I'm still curious to know if you have the game, if not, it may not be worth refuting your "facts" on the game
