"Overwatch: Return" Reinhart mythical weapon skin sparks controversy, high pricing is questioned

On July 24th, the highly anticipated "Overwatch: Return" Reinhart mythical weapon skin "Bound Demon" was officially launched. It is reported that players can get this skin through the exchange of 50 mythical prisms, and to unlock the full version of the weapon with full special effects, you need to spend an additional 80 mythical prisms. As soon as such a high price came out, players immediately raised doubts.

One player commented: "Blizzard seems to have realized that Reinhart's skin can be very profitable, and started to squeeze his resources." He added, "The skin is very well designed, but I wouldn't pay $80 for it." There was also some negative reaction in the gaming community, with players saying they would not spend too much money on the skin.

It is worth noting that Mythical Prisms can not only be obtained through direct purchase, but also players can accumulate through pass missions and level upgrades. However, this accumulation process is quite long.

Some players applauded the visual effect of the weapon skin, but also expressed concerns about the pricing. They believe that even if the skin is cool, it will not cost so much.

At the same time, there are also calls for Blizzard to rethink the pricing strategy of mythical weapon skins, and suggest providing more free access to mythical prism.

The controversy underscores the frustration with Overwatch: Return's microtransactions model, which Blizzard said before the game's official launch would be "player-first", but now players don't seem to think so.

On July 24th, "Bound Demon", Reinhart's first mythical weapon skin in "Overwatch: Return", was launched. The skin has special visual and auditory effects, and the shape will change with the player's performance in the battle, displaying cool special effects based on achievements and wonderful performances. This weapon skin adds unique effects to Reinhart's attacks, such as the special effect of the skill "Crash" that will show the surge of fire.

From the video, the effect of this skin is very cool, and it can be seen that the designer has put a lot of effort into it. It is indeed cool enough, but obviously players will not accept the ridiculous price of $80 for a skin.
