10 Insulting Video Game Features You Had To Pay For

2. Story Missions - Overwatch 2

Oh boy, Overwatch 2, the game Blizzard repeatedly screwed the pooch on with every decision made. This game drew the ire of the whole industry thanks to its constant run of bad choices, like cutting the highly anticipated Hero PvE mode. However, one of the most egregious examples was charging extra for story missions. 

Fans had been waiting for these missions since the game's launch, with many shocked they weren't there already. Sadly, when they did drop, it was nothing short of devastating, as there were only three threadbare missions, and you had to spend $15 on them.

The Resistance, Liberation, and Ironclad missions dropped as part of Season 6 and did nothing to drum up enthusiasm from the playerbase, with low player counts on all of them. 

It is safe to say that multiplayer games without story modes are becoming more common. Just look at the recent success of Helldivers 2, for example. But, come on, charging extra for a story that should have been there from the beginning? That is bananas!
