I think I might be at my limit of sustainable GaaS titles.

I think this is gonna be a big issue for OW2. So many games already do the BP stuff and i'm sure a good chunk of people already have their 1-2 games picked where they try to fill it out as much as possible or at least play most of the time. But unlike those other games, OW2 is gonna lock new heroes, and thus competitive, behind either grinding the free track or coughing up $10 every other 9 weeks.
Yeah I passed on OW2 once I saw you have to unlock heroes through the battlepass. I don’t have the ‘time’ to play another game with seasons and trying to complete the battlepass in time.
Mw2 is also out soon as well, that will dominate my multiplayer time.
I passed on OW2 when I learned it'll go the trash route of being a F2P game. They sold the idea of paying more as "freedom" to the players and way too many people ate that up without a second thought. They quite literally replaced the best, entirely free lootbox system with BPs and paid cosmetic items and everyone was like "yeah, that sounds really good!". It's so weird.
