Blizzard wants to know how much people will pay for Overwatch skins

pcgamer.com:

Blizzard sent a survey to an assortment of Overwatch players and asked how much they'd be willing to pay for skins and other cosmetics in the upcoming free-to-play sequel. The prices in the survey were randomized, according to a statement to PCGamesN(opens in new tab) from an Overwatch spokesperson, but the suggested cost for the «Mythic» skins caught many players by surprise.

Overwatch 2(opens in new tab) will carry over all of the cosmetics from the original game, but will drop randomized loot boxes for an in-game store and battle passes. Blizzard hasn't officially announced how any of that will work, except that new cosmetics will be available, including weapon charms, banner emotes, and customizable Mythic skins.

Mythic skins allow you to customize individual parts of a hero's skin. Blizzard showed concept art for a Genji Mythic skin during a stream in June and said that you can change the colors of his armor, eye glow, mask, tattoo, and weapons—things you can't change in any currently available skin. According to figures suggested in the recent survey, Mythic skins could cost as much as $44.99 or as little as $29.99.

Reddit user chaosunleashedX(opens in new tab) and Twitter user Portergauge(opens in new tab) posted screenshots of their surveys, which asked how they would feel about $24.99 Legendary skins and $9.99 weapon charms. The surveys also gave them options to choose what kind of cosmetic bundles they would pay for at $4.99, $19.99, and $29.99.

Oof, friend of mine got an Overwatch survey for his account, some of these prices they're gauging for OW2 are really expensive. I hope this is just him getting one of the higher price surveys and not an indication that they're leaning towards this much monetization.
