Der var mange gamere der troede, at Blizzard's kommende skydespil Overwatch ville være free-to-play, men i denne weekend blev det bekræftet, at spillet vil koste $40, og her er hvad Blizzard's Scott Mercer sagde om beslutningen efter annonceringen ved Blizzcon (via Kotaku.):
"From the beginning, we knew this was a game all about heroes. As we continued to work on it and add more heroes to it, hero-switching became a really key component. To really provide for a breadth of heroes to allow for that switching, to let people look at the other team and say, 'OK, let's change our lineup a little bit, became core to Overwatch. To support that, we need to have our 21 heroes. Not just, like, one tank, one support, one ranged character or something. You've got multiple different tanks and whatnot. We want people to have enough options that they feel like they're not at a super huge disadvantage."
