Pink Mercy Skin- Why Stop There!?

General Discussion
1

My beloved Overwatch Community, :blush:

I want this post to get to Blizzard’s eyes :eyes: and ears :ear:.

I’m inspired by another’s thread to make it so.

Please? :pray: Help me get my voice heard.

The easiest way I know how and to be HEARD, is for it to go viral. So please SMASH the LIKE and COMMENT if you agree. :+1:

I think the pink mercy skin is one of the best things blizzard did for charity. Thank you Blizzard.

Not to mention the skin is a prized and coveted by many.

Here’s a few small facts:

Breast Cancer is the second most common cancer in women in the U.S.

1/8 women are expected to be diagnosed with breast cancer at some point in her lifetime!

Men can even get breast cancer as well (though rarely).

———————————————————

I’ve seen hundreds of threads from these forums or Reddit asking about the mercy pink skin since it’s been released and whether it would ever be released.

Meaning that people are still interested in this rare skin.

I propose to re-release the skin for a week in October (Breast Cancer Awareness Month) at double the price.

That’s one route, or you could do this in addition or by itself>>>>

You could release a new Breast Cancer Awareness skin for a new hero! This could help the cause and ignite people to play the game. Double win. :raised_hands:

There’s plenty of female human heroes to choose from:

D.Va, Zarya, Ashe, Symmetra,Sombra, Tracer, Pharah, Mei, Ana, Brig, Moira.

I personally would love to see Zarya as she is a very strong female hero and reminds me of my aunt.

You could even make a male hero for a Breast Cancer Awareness Skin.

Come on a pink roadhog or reaper!? Why not pink Reinhardt or Lucio? Solider76 or Mcree?

I’m sad to see you guys stop for such a noble cause.

YOU GUYS RAISED 12.7 MIlLION!!!

Please don’t stop…

In addition to bringing popularity into the game, you could help do much!!!

If you’ve ever lost someone close to you from this cancer, every action is worth taking. No one deserves to lose ones they love too soon. :heart:

Help the cause. Find a cure. Do this for this upcoming October and every one after?

Please Blizzard?

Thank you for reading. :heart::pray:

I would love pink back. But I would rather they make more charity skins for other, more open charities. Homelessness, hunger, mental health…

Pink not being annual tho is definitely sad imo

i Wouldn’t against that at all. Maybe it could be a new charity once a year on a certain month then.

If they want to do another BCRF fundraiser, I think they should explore alternative ways of raising money.

A great example would be to look at merchandising. I know that they released a shirt during the Pink Event, but they could definitely explore releasing charity figures as well, (POP, Nendoroid, Figma or other).

because most of the people asking for pink mercy dont care for the reason behind it. they just want the skin.

This post is akin to my “Widowmaker Noire Skin” post back in 2017… :point_up: :grimacing:

That aside, Blizzard and BCRF would have to make an arrangement in order to do another similar event (as the whole theme was the “pink ribbon”; similar to LEGO bastion), so it’s not as simple as one of the “challenge events” we often see these days.

Did you even read my post?! I care, one of my aunts passed away from breast cancer not that I said that in my post! But I want to raise more money for it. Either double the price or a new skin for a new hero same proceeds. Thanks for not reading!
Edit: and flag- why? For making a suggestion? Wow.

I’m sorry to hear that

I don’t like making comments like these but I will right now

Pink mercy is a touchy subject because people just want the skin and the select few who do care about the actual reason behind it are grouped in with the others

And the people who already have it just get upset when people propose the idea of people bringing it back because of “exclusivity “ more or so they just want something that makes them seem special when In reality they don’t really care about breast cancer awareness either
Most of them just use that excuse to make others seem bad “they just want the skin they don’t stand behind breast cancer awareness” stuff like that

And to most that statement is true, because let me be honest with you, it’s not like that money is actually going to research for those who don’t know the breast cancer foundation or whatever it’s called spends most of the money on advertising rather than in research so it’s not exactly what it’s made to seem
At least that’s from what I’ve heard from multiple places

But I guess that not really my main point

I didn’t buy it because I was kinda broke at the time so kinda tough luck though I’d like it to return and other pink skins, the reality of it is that it most likely won’t return unless blizzard gets extremely desperate and needs to gain popularity again XD

As for the guy flagging your post…? Welcome to the community people do ridiculous things for no reason
There is no reason to flag the post but people will because it’s on the pink mercy topic and that apparently offends so many people XD

Males can get breast cancer too so we should have pink males and doubling the price is will make it harder for people to buy but everything else is cool.

you must of missed the big pink mercy skin post wave where people made long dramatic posts and even made up stories just to try to convince people that de should give (or in some cases owed) them the skin. Its a topic thats been covered to hell and back and people still wont understand that its not going to happen. Want a different skin for charity fine but just dont even mention pink mercy

No re-releases. No unlocking. It was exclusive. Deal with it. You can always donate to the charity at anytime to show your support. If you are passionate about the cause organize a new event or volunteer at existing ones.

If Pink comes back, all Stars should all come back too, and all the weekly challenge skins too.
None of those should be limited and should come back one a year tbh

17

If they do make another cancer skin it should be a Lucio skin as a prominent streamer who plays Lucio (Redshell) is currently battling cancer.

Who cares what their reasons are if the money goes to charity? Charity and research runs on money not necessarily peoples good intentions.

the reason i said that is because people try to hide behind the good intentions of bringing back pink mercy while all along they just want the skin. its just sad really

Uff, Ok.
no offense but you are not the first to ask this and you will not be the last. I think Blizzard already knows, and until it gives official signs for a comeback (tough, it never did even for WoW content) this will always be my reaction to these posts:

I invite anyone to use this video as a response to these topics in the future. it’s perfect as a meme.
