What do you consider the price of the skin, then? Let’s be honest. What would YOU pay for, considerably for an exclusive skin? Also, please do not mistake me for somebody who bought the ticket. I don’t find micro transactions a necessary part of any game, but if a game utilized those marketing tactics then I believe they should remain fair for those willing to sacrifice money for such things.
I did not buy the ticket. I do not have the skin. Sombra is my second most played hero, and I have her cosmetics maxed out apart from her skin. If it weren’t for the price, I would love the skin. But I am sympathetic for those who willingly spend money for in game cosmetics. Whether they get other stuff for that money or not.
It lines up with almost all the other skins that are exclusive/paid for, but that’s only if they release it as an exclusive skin. Though I can see reasonable backlash because there has been 0 public mentions of when / how they are going to release the skin.
I’m cool with this type of thread coming up once in a while to keep the topic alive until the end of the year until it actually gets released in-game . Don’t want Blizzard sweeping it under the rug as Legacy and hoping everyone forgets it.

Players: Yeah, it’s clearly pointed out the Demon Hunter skin was not Blizzcon exclusive and would be available sometime in 20I9.
That’s fair. I apologize, I thought the discussion at hand was about the skin being available for in game credits. That is my poor reading comprehension then.
I consider 10-15 dollars to be a reasonable price for a legendary skin in OW.
I personally was ready to pay 50 dollars because between the skin AND the streams AND the other goodies for games I play it was a decent value.
Considering though that the skin was announced (sorta) to be available later AND I was going to watch the streams at my friends house anyway AND I don’t play the other games all that much, I decided to defer my purchase. However if I had bought the ticket and a year later the sombra skin became free I wouldn’t bat an eye. I had it for a year, I still have it even if other people do, and I’d have got my 10-15 bucks worth out of it.
I just didn’t like the idea of people being called a choosing beggar for having hopes of the skin being released for 2x the normal price of an event legendary during Halloween.
Sadly I do not think it will ever come back. Which is sad since I know some people who did not buy it to get it later.
If it does ever come back it would not be in lootboxes. It would most likely come as a reward for either buying or playing other blizzard games.
This can either be per-purchasing the the more expensive copy of Diablo 4 or playing Diablo immortal.
Though this is just my guess, It might be locked forever sadly.
Personally I’m also really looking forward to that skin, and wouldn’t mind paying 10 or 15 euro for it. That’s acceptable. Not like 50 though, that’s a bit crazy. Guess we’ll see what they come up with.
Winston is white. Big enough change for me just because it’s actually different than any of his other skins. Bastions yeah don’t really care…but that Winston one is good. IMO.
