While the reasoning behind the price drop is to celebrate the release of Battleborn’s first new character, Alani, it’s a safe bet that it also has bit to do with the release of Blizzard’s MOBA-esque shooter, Overwatch, which has garnered a lot of attention in the gaming and… porn communities recently. With the two games sharing more than a few similarities, it’s not surprising that there will be a little bit of competition between the two games.
Game price drops are nothing new but this close to an original release date is a little bit of a red flag, it would be easy to see how some early adopters are feeling a little bit cheated by this, but unfortunately that’s the state of play.
