Yeah, you may never unlock every aesthetic item in Overwatch. But so what? It has no impact on actual gameplay.
Meanwhile you will get free maps and characters so you dont actually have to buy anything that really impacts the game or splits the audience. This is the best possible scenario. I hate buying season passes and that content suffers from smaller userbase
I wish Street Fighter V did this. I refuse to spend many hours just to unlock characters and the season passes are expensive.

Overwatch was light on content to begin with... And was priced high for the content that it did provide. - A few maps and multiplayer game modes isn't what I regard as a complete game. Heck, there have been Free to Play games that offered significantly more content.
And despite the "free content" excuse people have used... What has Overwatch added in the last 18 months? They haven't even added half a dozen characters yet. (Ana, Sombra, Doomfist, Orisa and most recently Moira.) And only a few maps in Quickplay/Competitive: (Oasis, Eichenwalde and Junkertown) and few more for Arcade/3v3 etc'. (Antarctica, Castillo, Necropolis, Black Forest) - Although Blizzard world is coming soon.
I remember the days when you would pay a fixed price for a game... And it came with a long, story driven and enjoyable single player campaign and an extremely solid multiplayer. - And unlocking content was half the fun and not hidden behind impossible multi-hundred-hour-grinding/gambling. - Such as unlocking weapons, abilities and maps in Perfect Dark/Goldeneye or Skull collecting in Halo.
And how some games would give you free content even after release like Total Annihilation with it's endless unit additions or the massive overhauls to Titan Quest and Two Worlds 2. Completely Free.
I have been vocal against DLC since Horse Armour with Oblivion over a decade ago. I have been against Loot Boxes since Mass Effect 3 years ago.
It's just companies being greedy, Loot Boxes are a bane on the industry and actually offer nothing positive to the gaming experience.

I would kill for a campaign in Overwatch @_@
Or pay another 40$. That works too.... But jesus christ I want it so bad.
