• I thought this would be a quality post but as soon as you said DBD monetization is inferior to OW2 monetization, it became obvious that having any kind of discussion would be pointless.

  I played both games for +1k hours and had completed the OW2 battlepass 2 weeks ago. If you truly believe that OW2 monetization does even a single thing better than DBD, you have no clue what you are talking about and try to make up an argument out of thin air.

  OW2 battlepass consists of 80 tiers of filler content with maybe 3 worthwhile skins, 1 of which appears at the last tier. New legendary skins cost 20 bucks. Many of those skins are super-low effort as well and resemble simple recolors (Junker Queen). I have yet to see a low-effort DBD skin at rare rarity or higher, OW2 skins are mostly recolors outside of Legendary (and sometimes even then). So aside from OW2 battlepass being essentially worthless, you also need to buy it anew each season as it does not pay for itself, like the DBD battlepass does.

  Bottom line? DBD's monetization definitely is not great and there is lots and lots of room for improvement. But it honestly is not even a contender for being the worst system on the market. Comparing it to OW2 illustrates a gross misunderstanding that leaves me questioning, whether you are shitposting.

  There's a rule in gaming that you should NEVER buy something on release day. This goes for macrotransactions as well. The skins will remain on display for all to see the entire event, so why not wait a week or two first before making the decision to buy them? BHVR have shown to be shady in their practices and they shouldn't be supported to begin with. At least not via the purchase of their macrotransactions and Rift.

  You're definitely right. I wanted to buy them sooner rather than later simply because I wanted the perks and/or killer characters to play with. I haven't been playing for 2 years so I admittedly didn't know or remember much of their shady practices.

  Either way, lesson learned. From now on I'll resort to Steam whenever possible when I know BHVR is the publisher/developer, since Steam is much more consumer friendly. I still wish BHVR would at least offer a refund of the auric cells after one has also purchased the DLC on Steam (or in-game store) due to a discount (like within 1 or 2 weeks after the intial purchase).
