This is some Kotaku level lameness.

"I largely expected it to be the same situation with Overwatch 2(opens in new tab). Though I got plenty of enjoyment out of the first game, the addition of a battle pass was incredibly off-putting to me. I've never been a fan of them, as evidenced by my inability to complete one until now. They feel lazy, tacky, and completely at odds with how I've traditionally enjoyed playing games. Now I've reached level 80 on Overwatch 2's first battle pass and 'gotten my money's worth' so to speak, do I feel any different? Absolutely not. If anything, finally completing a battle pass has further cemented my belief that they're one of the worst inventions to infiltrate our hobby in a hot sec."
I know Mollies job is to drive clicks but this really grinds my gears. Apparently the worst thing in gaming is optional content that doesn't impact gameplay rather than poor or unambitious game design. Her next article about feeling forced to buy every article of clothing at Forever 21 should be a doozy.
