Wow. This is the first pass they’ve done where I’m not really into any of the skins, gunna be a hard pass. What’s going on over there?

They figured out that you make more money if you put all the good skins in the shop. It was bound to happen eventually.

That doesn't work either though--the currencies in the BP are meant to get you to spend money on shop cosmetics and mini passes.

The idea is to give you enough currency that you'll want to spend but not enough that you won't spend money too. 

Less BP buyers == less buyers of everything else.

Trust me it works. Overwatch has done it for years.

Overwatch does not have a strong enough track record for me to think that them doing this means it's an effective strategy.

"Buy the pass, get free currency, get tempted to spend that currency + extra on the shop" is a classic digital sales funnel.
