Overwatch 2 is charging you for the PvE it didn't cancel (www.rockpapershotgun.com)

At this point it seems that Blizzard can't decide what it wants to do with Overwatch. It seems kind of baffling how they've handled what is basically a live service cash cow.

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.
