You forget that all 25+ characters have to be balanced between each other. It's not just adding guns and skins to a game. Sully, Chloie, and Nathan Drake all function identically during MP. Only their guns, abilities are custommizable. But Sully and Drake etc. can increase their grenade amount. To do what Overwatch does. Drake would be the only person who can use a rocket launcher. Sully can use a EMP etc. Now balance that towards the other characters. Other games like Battlefront have at what 6 classes? All 25+ OW characters are their own class.

The game has sold 35+ million copies, continues to make a profit via Loot Boxes and has probably earned Billions overall.
Balancing was always going to be a "thing" in a game like this, it was aspiring to be an FPS MOBA. - If they are understaffed then that is their own fault and they have obviously got the money to hire more.
And in the end is not an excuse for such a trickling of content.

They count everything with that number. From free trials to all the people who got their accounts banned from using bot programs. I'm not just talking about balancing. Come up with a character. Now you have to make sure it has counters and weakness. They also have to test the characters weapons and ultimates with each other characters weapons and ultimates. What are the restricting rules. What can they do or not do. Another thing. How long do you think till they have no more new ideas for character types. Orisa herself is already a near copy of Zarya and some of Mercy in function.
