Overwatch 2's weekly coin rewards are insultingly low

Blizzard has completely upended how buying stuff works in Overwatch 2(opens in new tab), and the transition has not been smooth. The hero shooter's switch to free-to-play coincides with its move away from loot boxes to battle passes and a cosmetic shop that only accepts a new paid currency: Overwatch Coins.

That's a total of 60 possible Overwatch Coins you can earn in a week, equivalent to exactly $0.60. To give you a sense of exactly how little 60 cents is worth in Overwatch 2, legendary skin bundles go for around 2,000 coins, or $20.

The math is so unfavorable to players that I have to believe nobody at Blizzard crunched the numbers and determined that 60 coins is a cool and
