Pink Mercy in Overwatch 2

[APPLEBOMB-1611]

Honestly, I don’t mind if they bring back Pink Mercy, but I also would like if they had a “Pink” outfit for a different hero this go around.

[Shellmetra-1882]

I believe a more appropriate statement would be:

Pink Mercy will not return unless Blizzard decides that it will

Never say never, but the statement made by Blizzard would indicate the chances of the skin returning are incredibly slim.

I prefer the statement written as I typed it, personally

I feel there is a good chance the skin will return at some point, but I understand why others do not

That is a fair and accurate statement, but when people can’t accept such fundamental realities as the facts, there is no hope for real conversation.

It’s unclear why Mega says they “feel there is a good chance” since the facts lead in the opposite direction. What is this feeling rooted in exactly? Usually, people have a sense because they see signs, but all signs point toward Pink Mercy isn’t very likely to ever return.

[Slayenem-1955]

Its not about “feeling special”. Nobody cares about your feelings. It’s a contract between BCRF, Blizzard, and the costumer. The skin is limited and will stay that way, because it was “sold” with that agreement. This is how business works. It’s why the vast majority of “limited” products/services indeed never return, video game or not.

It’s why relentlessly screeching about this skin for over 4 years is pure delusion and insanity. These people, unironically, need to stop it and get some help.

The End.

I will have no issues drawing attention back to:

@AndyB-11735

We have no plans to bring back the Pink Mercy skin or icons.

I ask that the attack on other forum members stops

I ask that the baseless claim that all of these forum members actually care about charity stop. I ask that the tired and debunked arguments stop. I ask that the blatant ignoring of many many valid points and criticisms pointed out to you stop.

Deathmatch wasnt supposed to be added. Now we have like 3 deathmatch modes.

Anythings possible

[Disco-11503]

I blame the cowards at blizzard for giving a PR response to the question of the pink mercy skin rather than just saying it is not coming back, and to stop being obsessive straw grasping weirdos.

Provide the quote please and thank you. If I have been burdened with the demand of proof than so should the other detractors.

(Also a game mode is not really equivalent to a collaborative skin where a second party has any say in it)

correct.

this is just one example of many where Blizzard had decided they were going to go with plan x and changed to plan y…and this is why I frequently remind folks who say the skin can never return (and also often point to Blizzards statement that they have no plans to have the skin return) that plans can and do change, especially then it comes to Overwatch

[VenusArmani-1354]

No. It hasn’t. They have said that there are no plans to re-release the charity skin, which is not the same thing as they literally cannot release it.

[Disco-11503]

That is PR speak for they are not rereleasing the skin.

[VenusArmani-1354]

I don’t think it’s likely to happen. And if it does happen, certainly not anytime soon. Personally I think when OW2 launched without it, that ended it’s chance. But it’s just simply not accurate to say that Blizzard Entertainment has said that they couldn’t release the skin even if they wanted to, due to legal issues. Such a thing has not ever been addressed and will likely never be addressed.

[Disco-11503]

Why would they address that? It is none of our business about their business, but that is generally how these things work, no reason to think blizzard is special in this regard.

[VenusArmani-1354]

I didn’t say they would. I explicitly stated they wouldn’t. The post you originally replied to was addressed to another poster that claimed they HAD addressed it.

[Megadodo-11847]

many of the attackers like to claim that Blizzard has addressed the matter, and/or flat out claim that the skin can never return.

nontopical aside: I like your new handle, EBoyPassivo

[Disco-11503]

There are most likely legal ramifications, that is how businesses work, especially partnerships.

Have they rereleased the lego skins? The ones that did come back were the diablo/wow skins, blizzard owns those IP.

It’s been factually proven that you are an attacker in this thread. I would stop throwing the word around, if I were you. It just makes it seem like you’re talking about yourself.

Proof of Dodo using lame attacks, directly after falsely accusing others of attacks:

@KrissiVector-1258

@Megadodo-11847

when someone states that x can never happen, when the future is not and cannot be known with certainty, it tends to rob that someone of credibility in the eyes of the reader.

You’ve thrown out your own credibility in my eyes when you chose to sprinkle unnecessary words all over your responses to disguise attacks, then judge others for attacking you. Let’s go through some examples here, before you try to say this isn’t the case:

@Megadodo-11847

there are indeed some current owners of the Pink Mercy skin who have decided that the allegedly “exclusive” and/or “unique” properties of their purchase are more important than adding more funding to the fight against cancer

Saying the word “allegedly here,” was only used to make your remark caddy like high school girl. It was uneccesary and you only used it to discredit your opponent. bcrf DOT org/blog/healing-stream-engaged-how-blizzard-entertainment-s-pink-mercy-donations-are-advancing-breast/ says it is exclusive. You don’t need to allege that. It says it officially. on their official website. There is no need to put the word unique in quotes, implying it is sarcastic or untrue. There is a uniqueness to donating, as this type of microtransaction has not been done before in Overwatch. Stop trying to discredit your opponents by implying our concerns have no grounds.

@Megadodo-11847

Mind you, their so-called “unique” skin has about 900 thousand copies floating around

So called? Yeah, this is why you can’t be taken seriously. You’ll call this post here an attack for calling you out on your toxicity, but you won’t address the way you’re speaking to your opponents in such a condescending way.

Until you address these, you best refrain from using the word “attacker.” It seems you either don’t know what it means, or you’re boldly lying. You only get to pick one.
