Because it would effectively discourage those of us who actually donated to get the skin after reading that we would never get the skin again. The bait and switch is a vile business practice, and certainly shouldn’t be used in the case of something as important as charity. Many others would forget about donating all together. Huge loss, seems like a stupid idea for just a quick chunk of money, to lose the support of many people who have proven willing to donate.

You mean it would discourage you, don’t speak for everyone please…
I think most people would just be grateful that they got 5-years of exclusivity of ownership of the skin…
Well worth the purchase I’d say…
You never ever read that because it wasn’t stated anywhere…

I am speaking for those of us who agree. Try again

it doesnt lose any charity value actually…rather, the opposite…each new sale generates new/additional dollars for charity

Uh no…
You specifically stated:
Since you don’t speak for every person who donated to get the skin I ask that you refrain from making sweeping statements like this…
Plenty of us don’t agree with you…
Last chance to get the skin from that event at that period no different from any of the other skins/events that were “last chance”…

so you’re saying all of these skins with the same “last chance” notice as the one brought up earlier for Pink Mercy returned for sale later?

That’s correct…
Every single one of the aforementioned skins returned at least one or more times after their initial offering…

No. If you weren’t there to get it, then that’s on you. That was also a special charity skin iirc.

You know, honestly thats a you problem.
Im sorry your parents never taught you that no means no. But I mean after the devs have clearly stated theyre not bringing it back, and still hokding onto hope it will, enjoy setting yourself up for disappointment.

actually, no, there isnt any such problem.
the topic is legit for this forum, and there is no statute of limitations
I am well aware of what “we have no plans to do x” means
I am well aware that plans can and do change, especially with OW-related things
except - they have said no such thing

I see no “problem” with continued discussion of the topic…
People want the skin to return so it seems only natural they’ll continue to ask for it to return…
Yeah except this wasn’t stated anywhere…

How many times do yall have to be told “we have no plans to bring it back”??
Hold onto your hope if you want. Im just curious how many years its gonna take until y’all finally get over it lol. Im not responding anymore because y’all are holding onto nothing and its a waste of my time.
In the meantime Ill donate some breast cancer organizations because nothing is stopping me. Toodles.

Nope. Stop it with the Pink Mercy threads. You got your answer from Blizzard already, be satisfied with the answer, they’re not changing it.
You’re just lying to yourselves so much at this point, that its actually toxic. And that’s coming from someone who missed the skin years ago.

whether we have been told 1 time or 1 million times, plans can and do change, particularly when it comes to OW
we will indeed hold onto hope, particularly given recent signs that things are changing at Blizzard…Kotick leaving, Microsoft coming in, and etc etc

no need to do so
this is a legitimate OW-related topic on a forum explicitly set up for discussion of OW-related topics
actually, there’s no way to know if the decision will change.
Many decisions related to OW have been changed over the course of time, and this one could well be changed as well
Threads like this one help keep the decision makers aware that there is a strong demand for this skin years after the original offer
There’s been no lies told, actually
we are well aware that the skin isnt currently available and have the “no plans” statement from the devs as well. None of this is being overlooked or ignored

I can’t link it but Andy literally said this quote in another one of the pink mercy threads so you are all wrong “We have no plans to bring back the Pink Mercy skin or icons.”

Well, first of all, nearly 70-80% all exclusive skins, where Blizzard say “last chance” were brought back to the game later. I will give you example for better understanding:
- Atlantic All stars 2019 Mercy WAS BROUGHT BACK 2 TIMES: in 2021 and in OW2 League store (in 2019 they said that it will be an exclusive skin and also wrote about the “last” chance)
- Doctor Ziegler Mercy Skin was brought back in 2022 in Anniversary remix (in 2019 they said that it will be an exclusive skin and also wrote about the “last” chance)
- Pacific Lucio, Atlantic All Stars Reinhardt, Pacific Genji, Atlantic Tracer, Winston Ace, Doomfist, Zen and Brigite goat skin WERE BROUGHT BACK 2 TIMES: in 2021 and in OW2
- “Exclusive” skins for special mini events, connecting to comics and other events (like Mccree, Ana Bastet, Baptiste Medic, Sigma Maestro, etc. were brought back for Remix event
- Demon Hunter Sombra was brought back in the game as casual skin for Halloween competition (I couldn’t find any information about the opportunity of bringing back this skin, also developers say that it will be “exclusive”)
- All legendary skins for events like Winter Wonderland are available every year in the same event and Anniversary event.
I am not talking about Black Widow for pre-order and special OW1 skins like Jack Morrison for Soldier and Pilot for Tracer because I don’t know much information about them (but you can try to buy somewhere a special version of Overwatch with this items - Overwatch Legendary edition or something like that and then upgrade to Overwatch 2)
So, as you can see, there are only 2 skins which will be returned in the future: Lego Bastion and my pink fairy Pink Mercy))) I am sure that we will see them on our screen again.
P.S. Personally, I think that people who don’t want the Pink Mercy skin back to the game, are just afraid to stop be exclusive and cool gamers with this item. Let’s be honest: I believe that gamers owning this skin are likely just don’t want to give second chance to other players. Guys, relax, ok?) You know, I don’t have this skin in my collection, but I can buy and account with this skin, donate to BCRF or other charity organization to help and save innocent live and become cool dude too))) And, yeah, everyone can do this. So, chill out please
And don’t even think that I am a cheater or something like that( I know that Pink Mercy is a charity skin, so I will donate money anyway)))

We know of this quote
We’ve been informed of it many, many times
We’ve responded many times as follows: plans can and do change, particularly when it comes to OW-related matters
as such, no, I dont think we are wrong at all
