Blizzard's handling of the Overwatch 2 Cyber DJ skin has ignited another controversy. Initially listed in the in-game store for $19.99, the skin was unexpectedly offered for free a day later to Twitch viewers watching a one-hour broadcast on February 12th.
This pricing discrepancy left many players who purchased the skin feeling cheated. The sudden shift from paid to free, while not unprecedented for Blizzard's cosmetic item sales strategy, has prompted widespread calls for refunds. While the Cyber DJ skin has been removed from the store, Blizzard has yet to address the refund requests.

Facing stiff competition, particularly from the successful Marvel Rivals, Blizzard is aiming to revitalize Overwatch 2. A special Overwatch 2 Spotlight event, scheduled for February 12th, promises to showcase significant gameplay updates, including new maps, heroes, and other content. The event will also feature prominent streamers providing firsthand previews from Blizzard's headquarters.
