Blizzard finds itself in the eye of the storm again with Overwatch 2, particularly over the sale and subsequent free distribution of the Cyber DJ skin for Lucio. Initially, the skin was listed in the game's store for $19.99. However, just a day later, Blizzard announced an event to unveil the future of Overwatch 2, set for February 12. During this event, players could acquire the Cyber DJ skin for free by watching the broadcast on Twitch for an hour.

This revelation led to a wave of frustration among those who had already purchased the skin, sparking a significant backlash. The Cyber DJ skin, now removed from the store, has left many players seeking refunds, feeling cheated by the sudden change in availability.

This isn't the first instance where Blizzard has offered paid cosmetic items for free later on through promotions, further fueling player discontent. As of now, Blizzard has not addressed the issue of refunds.

Amidst these challenges, Overwatch 2 faces stiff competition from Marvel Rivals, which is currently outperforming it in various aspects. In response, Blizzard is set to unveil groundbreaking gameplay changes at the Overwatch 2 Spotlight event on February 12. The event promises to introduce new maps, heroes, and other content, with Blizzard inviting popular streamers to their headquarters for a sneak peek at the upcoming updates.
