I generally avoid making claims about the future as factual, myself, because with there being no way to actually know the future, such statements tend to rob the person making such claims of credibility
that said, Pink Mercy can come back, and this will occur when and if Blizzard decides it will happen, no matter how many forum members claim it cant ever happen
actually, its not weird at all
Charitable organizations like BCRF realize that there are three types of people in the world when it comes to donations. Group A donates just to donate. Group B needs an incentive/recompense to donate. Group C doesnt donate - they either wont or cant. BCRF and other charities understand this, and work with both groups A and B in order to maximize donations, just as they did when they worked with Blizzard to offer Pink Mercy.
There are many problems with this statement
First, this is an attack on other forum members, which is against both the spirit and the rules of this forum. I ask that this cease
Second, not only is it an attack, it is a baseless attack because it is unlikely in the extreme that you know anyone who is interested in the Pink Mercy skin well enough to know their motivations, and ergo legitimately be able to state that they do not care about BCRF
Third, caring about BCRF and wanting the skin are not mutually exclusive. One can care about BCRF and want the skin
Fourth, despite what is being implied here, there is nothing whatsoever wrong in wanting the skin.
Fifth, the motivations of the buyer are irrelevant, because the dollars from those with you might consider high minded spend exactly the same from BC research as the dollars from those you would not consider high minded
not at all
although it has only been offered once, it isnt restricted to only being offered once, and can be offered again
I have always been in favor of more charity events
However
-
The Pink Mercy skin is ready to go. No other charity skin exists at this time
-
This hypothetical second skin would require dev resources that would have to be diverted from OW2 development. Since OW2 is in a highly incomplete and problematic state, I dont see this happening anytime soon
-
If this hypothetical new skin were to be created, I know of no good reason not to offer this skin AND Pink Mercy at the same time, both singly and as a package deal, as this would result in a bigger bag of cash for charity than would be earned if only one of them were offered
no
There’s no reason whatsoever to let it go
This forum is for discussion legitimate ow-related topics. Pink Mercy is a legitimate ow-related topic.
Continued discussion of the topic ensures that those with decision making powers know that demand remains strong for this product even years after the original release. This makes such discussions important
I wont be letting it go, and I rather suspect that other hopeful individuals wont be letting it go either
