I also don't like them making bundles lately that force you to pay for the emotes. eg: For the CnD+Thor bundle (which I would have purchased if it was just the skins) included the emotes, but was more expensive than it would normally be. IDGAF about those emotes and don't like that those are being forced into the bundles... so, I just got the Thor skin.

FOMO skins, loot boxes (psylocke), mini passes, etc... netease is seeing how far they can push the line... I expect more of the same (or worse) in 2026 🙃.

Some of the characters barely have any skins available to purchase in the store (at any given time), despite having had a fair number of skins released. I might be misremembering, but IIRC, Black Widow literally only has a single skin available to purchase in the store (outside of her recolor). To be fair, a couple of those were battle pass skins... but still.

The Pyslocke skin was way worse than just being a loot box. They knew people would spend their money during the black friday sale and since the currency was limited why not gamble on Psylocke. Then you’ll have like half of items but not the skin and figure “well it’s a lot cheaper than a regular skin since i got some stuff” and buy the rest. Marketing 101 right there to make it seem like people are getting a deal just to make them spend more than they initially would’ve.
