So, out of all things, OW is going to have itself an Olympic Summer Games tie-in event. From what it seems like, there's going to be a massive dump of new cosmetics, all of which are only obtainable via the new Summer Games Lootboxes. They are not obtainable via currency.
A decent chunk of the playerbase is up in arms about this, and it's not entirely unjustified. However, that being said, I would MUCH rather that this be the monetization model for most new MP games where I get 'core' gameplay-altering content for free rather than go back to the season pass model of a few years ago.
I just hope that every lootbox earned via levelling will be a Summer Games Loot Box until the event ends. The fact that your currency is useless on all this new content is also a bit of a kick in the teeth, and that's the only way I think of that would balance it out.
I just really goddamn want anything Zenyatta related.
