This sucks, but they were upfront when PVE was announced that it would be paid, while PVP would be free.

That doesn’t excuse the PVP effectively not being so free with the hero unlock system, the $20 OW1 skins, or announcing that they’ve reduced the PVE scope to the point of invalidating the point of making a sequel and then STILL charging for it.

But it was always going to be paid.

What I'm waiting to see is whether there’s anything worth paying for here, or if we’re just being milked for the Archives missions we were already getting for free. Blizzard being Blizzard, I’m expecting the latter. This whole thing is just a masterclass in shitting the bed and being surprised when the community recoils.
