If it was a bad game, there would not be so many people playing it and shelling over money for skins.

Uh, no? It's been proven time and again that people who buy skins don't buy it out of love for the game, but because it's effectively gambling and triggers the same spots in your brain that dopamine does.

I would love to learn more. Any links to reputable sources on that research?

OW no longer has loot boxes or random chance, so plenty of people shell put for ridiculous skins for their favorite heroes, so this is a bit different of a case
