So someone figured out an exploit through Blizzard's website to allow you to purchase skins for Overwatch 2 that are normally unavailable. Essentially, someone on Blizzard's side forgot to disable them and people discovered them by fooling around with the URLs. You still are very much paying for them with real money, not getting them for free or anything like that.
There's some fear that this will result in accounts being banned but I doubt it. This is an oversight by someone on their team, not something like item duplication. Also, the people who are buying these are the very people that make up the backbone of Overwatch's revenue, I would imagine. I'm sure Blizzard will be happy to wake up to a sudden influx of cash this morning.
I bought what looks to be an unused or dummied out development item that doesn't actually show up anywhere in game that I've seen. At this point, it's basically just a weird looking "TBD" type license on my account. I was just too curious to not give it a shot.
Anyways, I spent way too much money on Mercy skins this weekend.
