Overwatch will stop selling loot boxes this month

4.8
Blizzard has announced that Overwatch loot boxes will no longer be available for sale as of the end of August.

In a blog post detailing the Overwatch Anniversary Remix Vol. 3 event, the company quietly revealed that loot boxes will no longer be on sale as of August 30.

“Loot Boxes will no longer be available for sale after the end of the Anniversary Remix Vol. 3 event on August 30. However, you will still be able to earn standard loot boxes after the end of the event.”

“We are not transitioning loot boxes into Overwatch 2, and ahead of launch, any unopened loot boxes will be automatically opened with your account receiving all the contents directly.”

He added: “OW1 credits come with you to OW2, but our new virtual currency will be the main currency, and there will be things in OW2 that will not be purchasable with those OW1 credits”.

Very surprising that they are stopping this now.

I'd love to see any kind of micro transactions (Mainly -P2W weapons) being removed from every game. But hey, that's just me.
