Blizzard finds itself embroiled in yet another controversy surrounding Overwatch 2. The issue centers around the Cyber DJ skin for Lucio, which was initially offered for sale at $19.99. However, just a day later, Blizzard announced that this same skin would be available for free to viewers who watched a special Overwatch 2 event on Twitch for an hour on February 12.

This sudden change left many players who had already purchased the Cyber DJ skin feeling cheated. Understandably, this has led to widespread frustration and demands for refunds among the community. The skin, dubbed Oblique, has since been removed from the store, but Blizzard has yet to address the refund requests.

This isn't the first instance where Blizzard has sold cosmetic items only to later offer them for free during promotional events. The recurring pattern has only fueled the players' sense of injustice. Meanwhile, the competitive landscape is heating up, with Marvel Rivals gaining significant traction and posing a real challenge to Overwatch 2's dominance.

In response to these challenges, Blizzard is set to unveil groundbreaking gameplay changes at the Overwatch 2 Spotlight event, scheduled for February 12. The broadcast promises to introduce new maps, heroes, and other exciting content. To build anticipation and showcase these updates, Blizzard will host prominent streamers at their headquarters, offering fans a sneak peek at what's to come in future game versions.
