Not to mention, it’s also a great reward for gamers who are already players of both. It would irk me if I had to shell out $40-$60 for a game I don’t necessarily know if I want to play in order to unlock something in a game I adore, though. On top of the rewards being strictly cosmetic, the other aspect that makes this a hard scenario for me to be upset about is that HotS is a free-to-play game. Va show up, you may get psyched out at first glance but beyond that there’s nothing. So it’s not as if someone who chooses to play Heroes of the Storm in order to unlock the limited items is gaining a competitive edge against those who opt out. Though, I mean, if you see an Oni Genji or Officer D. The rewards gained on both ends of the event here are strictly cosmetic. In this specific scenario, I don’t see how it’s negative for us– let me elaborate. As a business move, it’s smart for Blizzard to mash together their IPs to– hopefully– get some of their fans who may only play one or two of their games, more enamored with Blizzard’s ecosystem– but is this bad for us? With that being said, it’s no secret that I continue to praise Blizzard for their DLC and update strategy for Overwatch, but with the return of Oni Genji and now Officer D.Va joining the free-LC you can earn within the event, it’s time to discuss if this strategy is a positive one.
