"I am done with this game": Overwatch 2 players are furious with overpriced Kiriko Witch skin

The controversy surrounding Kiriko in Overwatch 2 has no end in sight, as the community has now raised a new concern. The latest issue seems to revolve around a new Legendary skin that has been added to the game and how it has to be purchased.

As part of the Halloween festivities, players can get two new legendary skins in Overwatch 2. One is for Kiriko, while the other is for the Junker Queen.

However, there is a key difference between the two. While the Junker Queen skin can be bought separately, the Kiriko skin can only be obtained by purchasing a bundle. Naturally, the cost of the bundle is much higher, and none of the content within it can be acquired separately.

This has resulted in a stir in the Overwatch 2 community, especially after similar things have happened in the past.

Blizzard shows an inability to learn from past mistakes with overpriced Overwatch 2 Kiriko skin bundle

A few weeks ago, there was major controversy surrounding the launch of Kiriko in Overwatch 2 as she was added to the monthly pass.

While this wouldn't usually be a problem, the unlock mechanism created a major difference for those who wanted to pay and those who didn't. Anyone getting the premium path unlocked her instantly, while others had to grind till level 55 for the same addition.

Unfortunately, the only way for players to get the new Kiriko skin right now is to spend 2600 premium currency. One will have to spend at least $25 to get the required premium currency.

For many fans, the valuation of skins in the game is a problem. Things used to be very different in the first game, which followed a different model altogether.

One player is happy with what the new Kiriko skin looks like in Overwatch 2. Unfortunately, the skin has been clubbed with cosmetic items that they do not really want but have to pay extra for.

Some are amazed by the fact that Blizzard has ignored fans' feedback and hiked the price.

Another Overwatch 2 player is worried that Blizzard might continue to increase the price of all cosmetic items in the future.

One player added how the very essence that made Overwatch so popular is now lost forever. With the servers of the first game being closed down for the public, the community has no other viable alternative available.

Those who can't afford the bundle are unable to purchase the new Kiriko skin.

There is nothing surprising about skins costing real-life money, but the way they are being bundled in-game is concerning. Players are hoping that such things won't become the norm in the future and that they will be able to acquire skins separately.
