I can assure you from my experience - I am involved in almost every Pink Mercy thread - that your assumption here is incorrect
People have stated many reasons why they like this skin
Unfortunately, the alleged “rareness” (aside: I dont see something with almost 900k instances as being anything remotely like “rare”. personally) is something that generally is only brought up by those who already own the skin, not those who want to buy it now
to the original poster of this thread: because Pink Mercy topics come under frequent and entirely unwarranted attacks, it is hard for many of us - myself included - to take any Pink Mercy thread in a non-serious (or to use your term, “comedic”) sense
we’ve seen a bit of that in this thread already, including someone who stated they dont want Mercy mains to get what they want. Ive never understood the anger/hate, but its always been there; and as such, comedy just isnt doable for many of us on this particular subject
I sadly didn’t play until Summer Games 2018 and as a Mercy main I’d adore the skins return for my collection but just the quality alone, however, i never understood the hype when she has better skins but ig that’s the definition of opinions. You brought up a fair point here! Crazy to think 900k were sold. Man I’d love another shot but probably won’t ever happen
Many people have stated as much, but to date, no proof of this has been offered
even if there is, this doesnt seem to be a barrier, as BCRF has stated - in writing, multiple times, and recently - that they’d love for the offer to return
There are posts in that thread over the last couple of months that speak of recent indications that Blizzard is warming to the idea of a Pink Mercy return
If you want a basis for hope, I’d recommend reading
One thing that bothers me about this thread… is someone is going to mentally check this off as “omg another pink mercy thread” when no new thread was made by someone interested in the skin.
for future references, Pink Mercy sold about 847k copies instead of 900k because of the math and what the developers stated before.
12.7 million dollars were raised for the donation, and the skin costed $15. thus, if we do simple multiplication of 15 x 847,000 it equals 12,705,000 which is a little higher than 12.7m but it’s still about the same. but if we do 15 x 900,000 it equals 13,500,000 which isn’t that close to 12.7m
don’t worry dodo that’s why i said for future references, i was telling you the actual approximate estimation just incase someone uses your “900k copies” instead of 847k, against you, for “not using right information thus your opinion is invalid”
The skin really kind of sucks to be honest. It’s low resolution on the textures and it’s not particularly amazing compared to the new skins. It’s just rare so using it is a flex.
