ow2 is a free alpha release, and sc2 is over 10 years old and hasn't received any major content in at least 4 years...
plus sc2 co-op commanders had a bundle deal right before development got dropped for the game, but now, years later, blizzard expects you to pay a full 15$ per commander to unlock!
and obviously there's no way to unlock them through gameplay...
so one of the two is straight up worse than the one it replaced, and the other is stupidly expensive given how ancient it is.
great examples, really.
