Pic: Activision BlizzardThe battlepass system has been the most contentious change to the game's recipe.
Game Director of Overwatch 2, Aaron Keller, told Sky News the primary goal of the battlepass and in-game shop was to generate revenue."We have big ambitions for all the content we're going to be putting out there and we're going to be doing it frequently… every two seasons we have a new hero coming. "If people want to play the game and earn coins and use those to unlock things in the shop immediately, they're able to do that."
