    Overwatch dethroned everyone at the VGAs sweeping Game of the Year, Best eSports, and Best Mutliplayer game. I hope everyone else takes notice. While OW isn't for everyone, and its hard for SoloQ, games that aren't need to look at what Blizzard is doing. The way they balance, interact with their community without blowing them off, and post launch content. COD started the season pass trend, and every shooter followed suit and then every game followed suit. Titanfall 2 has taken OW route as far as DLC goes. I hope more developers go this route as well. There is money to be made on micro-transactions. RnG boxes are a big hit and OK as long as you can earn them in game, and they don't offer a competitive advantage.

      I hated microtransactions, but I'd rather see those than DLC season passes as long as their isn't any pay to win benefits.

      With the quality and design of OW's system, I think it should be the architect for everyone else. You gain loot boxes through ranking up and the new weekly system. You open your loot boxes, and dupes get you currency along with currency drops that let you buy what you want specifically. Black Ops 3 did something similar minus the buy what you want if you save up enough... but Blops 3 also had weapons that were significantly better than those that came with the game, encouraging credit card warriors to dump money into the boxes to get the weapons and dominate. I guess for typical shooters, it would be more difficult to come up with skins and camos. Overwatch has so many different characters... a regular man as a solider can only be customized so much I guess. 

      If you have a decent amount of content that has a fair in game earn rate, people will still buy boxes... especially if you have seasonal limited time skins. At first OW didn't let you buy these and even changed their TOS to reflect it, causing an uproar, but eventually they changed it to where you could buy the skins, but at triple the price of normal legendary skins.
