Overwatch 2 is charging you for the PvE it didn't cancel

I sank so so many hours into OW1 in the first two years... I barely touched OW2. Its a hollowed out, soulless imitation of the original. Fuck what Blizzard has become.

Same. I had 100s of hours in the game and started to step away around the time of cross play being introduced. I haven’t had the slightest desire to go back for OW2.

I don’t get it.

OW2 was announced as free-to-play and would shut down the original Overwatch servers with it. However, Blizz had said that OW2 would come with a PvE mode (which was highly requested with Overwatch). When OW2 released, the game released with no PvE mode but the promise that they'd add it in later. In May, Blizz announced that the PvE mode had been cancelled altogether. A week or so later, Blizz reversed the decision to cancel the PvE mode. Now the PvE mode is coming and it'll cost $15.

So, just more Blizzard being incredibly shitty. As always.

The drip-feeding of information around everything happening with the game right now is frustrating. No details as to what was in season 5 until yesterday (like, who knew Mischief and Magic was Prop Hunt?), showing what they've decided PvE will be in a video, and then later on going "Oh yeah, it'll cost $5 to keep", but no details on how substantial these missions are...they're just not great at telling people anything, which makes it all worse.
