I love how you're pretending that the exact business model Blizzard operated on successfully for 15 years doesn't work.

What other Blizzard titles relied on a single time purchase and loot boxes for their payment scheme? Wasn't WoW subscription based WITH paid expansions? StarCraft and Diablo definitely had paid expansions.

Maybe the argument could be made for Hearthstone or HotS but I won't consider them Blizzard's flagship titles either.

Overwatch also had paid lootboxes and skins. Overwatch was very heavily monetized.
