Well, you are the one who made the claim and now you are telling me it is my job to go look for proof for you? Thats not generally how it works, no.
If that is the case i choose to not to believe your claim.
Proof doesn’t matter to the covetous individuals who want Pink Mercy to return at all costs, even with eliminating the charity component.
These people post outrageous fictional statements and ideas without proof, not rooted in facts or reality, yet have the nerve to demand evidence of common knowledge and refuse to accept simple facts. Let’s go over some of these:
The new CEO will bring back Pink Mercy!
Microsoft will want it to return.
Pink Mercy will return.
There is a good chance it will return.
BCRF needs a big bag of cash.
Blizzard needs PR points with women.
Millions of people with duplicate accounts want to buy Pink Mercy.
The partnership is ongoing because Pink Mercy still has the BCRF logo.
A few hundred thousand of the 840k are dormant accounts or banned or lost access, so all these people want to repurchase Pink Mercy.
Staff and mods that make statements don’t know what they’re talking about.
There is no evidence of any of it, yet they continue to use these talking points.
But real stuff like a 1.68% ownership rate is somehow “alleged exclusivity,” 840k participants aren’t “unique or special,” or the fact that Pink Mercy is a one-time-only charity skin from 2018 is “not true because they will bring it back.”
You’re like kids in a store when your parent(s) tell you no, you can’t have that toy. You just keep pestering and pestering 'em about hoping to break them down until they cave.
what you are seeing in threads like this is normal consumer behavior
you go to a grocery store, find out that they’ve removed your favorite product from the shelf, so you talk to a manager and ask that it be brought back in again
simple, normal, everyday consumer behavior
it only makes sense to ask for that which could be available but currently isnt
They remove things I like from stores all the time. (it’s actually a joke in my family about it) and never have I once bugged anybody about it. I just accept it and find something else.
That’s what would typically happen, but this case is more like this:
You go to a grocery store looking for a product such as Holiday Spice Pepsi from nearly five years ago that was limited-time-only and ask the manager to consider bringing it back, and they say, “we have no plans to do so.” And you keep showing up every day asking when it will return? And keep telling people you feel it will return and expect if the store had new owners, they would bring it back. You tell the manager they could make “big bags of cash” if they brought this back and how you just know millions of people are clamoring for it to return!
Many consumers - normal everyday folk - buy things purposefully when the producer implies that it will not be available again, as the scarcity adds value to them ^-^
I wholeheartedly agree, I personally do not care if it makes a return or not as it is skin attached to a good cause. Like you said it is weird, but also interesting seeing this topic pop up every other day theoretically as many others know that this topic, this skin is popular amongst most.
By nature, and I am going say this in quotations " Allegedly, it is individuals who do not obtain the skin that creates such topics" new and existing players I notice, and there IS NOTHING wrong with fighting for a cause or in this case fighting to keep this topic alive years later from the event, but many have tried to explain why this is very unlikely, not impossible, but highly unlikely due to reasons, legal reason.
Not to mention that individuals and dev have stated that back then and even in the year 2022. It is just quite interesting indeed.
Thank you for this, I was looking all day for this, saved and bookmarked.
