I remember a World of Warcraft example. Blizzard were involved with motorbike T.V. show and did an in-game event which ultimately led to both Alliance and Horde getting a motorcycle mount event.
The Alliance one didnāt seem to have much involvement from the TV show folks, however the horde one did from what I read. So when the TV show folks backed out and had a falling out. It forever put the horde bike into a permanent limbo. You can still buy the alliance motor bike, but the Horde one is never coming back because of how the tv show folks own rights to it.
I remember that! I buy the blizzcon pass when it has Overwatch skins in it. Usually theyāre locked to the pass, but that was an exception, one which took me by surprise because the assumption is what is in the passā¦ stays in the pass.
They got a lot of flack over that one and likely wonāt repeat the mistake of making blizzcon skins be freebies to everyone else later. It also feeds into why they wonāt want to re-run Pink Mercy.
With the Demon Hunter skin I think the best way to have solved the rabble was to just simply recolor it for the public release.
That way the Blizzcon attendees got unique skins while everyone else got the other-and the ticket holders had a chance to get another of the goodies. Thought it would have been a win all around.
its not really hidden that well, its not like i believe that they really want to donate to charity, or else they would do it without the skin. you dont really need a āchanceā to donate to charity, you can do it RIGHT now.
I donāt get why people like the pink Mercy skin so much. I got it gifted to me, but the pigtails give me young girl cosplaying on twitch energy. Itās slutty. Then again, maybe thatās the appeal
I agree! I have linked where to where the donation page is.
To me I would have no issue if people just kept the transparency of going āI donāt care about the cause I just want the skinā or āI just want it for the collectionā.
But trying hide behind the āitās for a good causeā has me completely embittered to people wanting it to come back-cause itās the reason of just wanting the skin
Iād love to know where you came to that conclusion. I donāt see any * with small text like the demon hunter sombra had to say it will return in future.
How much more evidence do you need that it will not return. Andy himself said ā¦
I think the gymnastics was already done - even in this thread:
Because people start to invent ācontextā to try to contain the inconvenient truth and make it so that thereās still some possibility āif we assume this, this and thatā.
Itās the same hysteria as when a girl/a man says you ānoā and then you think āoh, but if Iām in the last man/girl on Earth scenario - they would go back to me and weāll create a familyā.
Thereās no logic to win against this kind of stuff, no amount of arguments will be enough and the very attempt of reasoning in such a debate dooms you to fail. The only way to win such a game is not to play it.
Andy made that statement in reference to someone asking whether pink mercy cosmetics would return for the anniversary remix event. Because some people assumed that it would return given that other limited skins were stated to return during the event.
Andy simply clarified that no, there were no plans for pink mercy to return for the event.
He didnāt say the words āfor the eventā but that was implied due to the above and the fact that the thread was about the anniversary remix event.
Well, account trading is illegal according to the EULA, so itās a risky business. One could buy it only to discover a ban after a while - or worse, the claim of account being stolen. I wouldnāt recommend engaging in these schemes.
