Thoughts on the new Overwatch developer update?

    For anyone who missed it, you can find the update video on the PlayOverwatch youtube channel. :)

    I for one am glad that the heroes and maps won't be locked behind a paywall. I feel like the game will be much more balanced and enjoyable that way. Especially if I'm throwing down $60 on it. Haha

    That aside, I'm glad to hear that the devs are paying attention to community concerns.

    I'm glad for this update as well. I don't mind paying for a game as long as it's worth it and if I can play all the characters I want and be in all the maps as well. And for me, Overwatch is that game, it's very well worth it especially with this update.

    With regards to the skins and other cosmetics though, I think I'd be okay with it being paid for as long as it's cheaper. I've already paid for the game and then I'd have to deal with expensive customisation items as well? Lol. The content in itself should be free even if the customisation items are to be paid for.

    I think it would be insane of them if they even considered locking heroes and maps behind a paywall for a game that already costs $40. You think players would find it acceptable to pay $40 for a very stripped down version of the game?

    I still think the cost of the game is very much unjustified but since it is a blizzard product it'll be bought and merchandised as if it was worth the price. I'm pretty sure the cost will go down and we'll have some discounted prices soon enough, I'm just hoping the game won't suffer of low population issues early on.

    I'm really glad they're not gonna charge more for the upcoming heroes and dlc. I feel like the $60 price tag is really steep for what is there, but considering all the additions are free it will likely be worth it.
