There is absolutely no reason to set a fixed price on a charity skin. People who will want to donate - will, there are tons of people on twitch who do that. In the meanwhile, the ones who WOULD love to aid a good cause by donating a couple of bucks will not be “rewarded” with a skin? This is literally to get mercy mains spend a fortune on what seems to be a trivial matter.
EDIT:
Apparently I raised quite a bit of debate here apart from the insults, I realise that I have worded this wrong and for that I apologise, but my point is the same.
And MisterFox has greatly summarised this.
Don’t be that person. All the proceeds from the skin are helping the charity, seriously??? Lower price means lower help to fight breast cancer, the price is perfectly fine.
You don’t need to be rewarded for donating. You can donate $15 through Overwatch and get the skin or if you really would love to donate a few bucks to the cause but can’t afford the skin there is nothing stopping you from going to the BCRF website and donating directly.
you can go to the charity stream and donate bits if you really want to donate to BCRF but it wont get you the skin.
Charity is charity, its not meant to be rewarded anyway
Sounds like you are donating for the wrong reason.
But your unnecessary cynicism does raise a point you could have made better. Having a lower minimum but allowing people to pay more than that could potentially raise more money which is what this is about. You know do it humble bundle style.
No one’s asking you to donate for the skin. They’re asking you to donate for charity. It’s only an ‘intended coincident’ that you get the skin. So think of it as donating for charity, rather than just buying the skin.
is blizzard even matching donations? no.
so what is this?
this is activision/blizzard feigning activism in order to take our money, and donate it taking the tax write-off.
if blizzard actually cared, they’d match the donations. otherwise, they are literally making money off this.
