"Overwatch 2 Dev Faces Backlash for Insensitive Winter Fair Response"

Overwatch 2 players are criticizing the Winter Fair event for its inability to allow players to complete the event despite purchasing the event pass. The event's free path doesn't provide enough tickets to obtain the legendary skins, and the paid premium pass doesn't offer enough to acquire all the event skins. The response from an Overwatch 2 developer, stating that the paid event is "in the holiday spirit," has been met with backlash from players who feel that the balance between monetization and player satisfaction has been disrupted. Players argue that paying for the event pass should grant access to all content, and they criticize the lack of unique skins in the event. It remains to be seen if the developers will make changes to the Winter Fair event before its launch.
