Overwatch 2 players claim that shop pricing may be illegal in several countries

The brand-new Witch Kiriko Bundle is now available in Overwatch 2 for 2,600 Overwatch Coins, a 29% savings from its “regular” price of 3,700. A Witch Kiriko Legendary Skin, a Black Cat Epic Weapon Charm, a Celestial Epic Name Card, a Witch Epic Player Icon, and a Clean Sweep Rare Highlight Intro are all included in the deal. The material is completely fresh new and not found elsewhere in the shop, nor are the things sold separately.

Blizzard’s argument would be that their pricing is consistent across the board. For example, a Legendary skin would cost 1,900 Overwatch Coins. The cost of an Epic Weapon Charm is 700 coins. Player Icons and Name Cards aren’t technically for sale; thus, Blizzard may charge whatever it wants for them. But the point is that Blizzard likely feels $3,700 is a reasonable, explainable full price – and would be happy to fight it in court. It’s uncertain if this would be considered legally manipulative in Australia or not. However, this is unlikely to relieve dissatisfaction among the Overwatch 2 community.
