The idea of charging for PvE missions sounds bad on the surface (especially given the attitude surrounding Overwatch 2 at the moment) but honestly I think this sounds totally fine. I mean it's basically like a paid expansion, which is a rare thing nowadays in the age of live service games. Personally I like the idea of paying a finite amount of money for a finite amount of content. The only question is whether these three missions are actually fun and replayable enough to be worth $15.
Sure, charging a reasonable price for additional content is fine. This has been happening for decades as expansions.
This feels particularly odd because Overwatch previously had events (Summer, Halloween, etc) where they released PvE content for free and the community loved it. I played a fair bit of Junkenstein and Lucio ball, it was exciting when it happened for a limited time.
I hope the missions have enough content to warrant the $15 USD price. OW2 disappointed me and it feels like every news article continues that trend.
