By adding it to the ticket, it adds value to the ticket and makes the skin more valuable. Also itâs not Halloween content, itâs based on a Diablo 3 character.
Also, the skin is a bonus to the ticket. You arenât buying the skin, youâre buying the ticket.
No, itâs a 40$ virtual Blizzcon ticket and you get a free skin if you buy it. Stop whining, you donât deserve everything, itâs perfectly fine to give people who want to support Blizz an exclusive skin.
So donât get it, simple. God this community is so entitled and whiny. I got a T-shirt when I flew to Amsterdam last month, how dare they charge me 400$ for a lousy T-shirt? Boycott Amsterdams tourism board.
it kind of is considering itâs a crossover skin.
So leave this forum ASAP, we dont want you here if you dont care about OW! BYE!
Blizzcon has always given 1 item for each game, get over yourself.
This ainât it

When i see emojis in the title, i know a thread is gonna get good
For most players, the skin is much more appealing than the ticket itself and Blizzard knows that, this is the real problem here.
People defending this need to realise when you lock an item behind an exclusive, overpriced, bundled paywall, itâs no longer âjust a bonusâ when it is the ONLY way to attain that product.
Itâs not a 40 dollar skin.
The cosmetic items are bundled into access to Blizzconâs live-streams.
Donât care about Blizzardâs other titles or Blizzcon itself? Well, sucks for you then. In that case, you really donât deserve the Diablo-themed skin anyways.
Besides, itâs just aesthetics for a fundamentally broken and underpicked character.
so what youâre saying is they should take the $100 worth of stuff (the ticket plus 1 item for every game Blizz makes) and give it away for $10-$20 just because some people only play 1 game?
Now everyone will complain they have to wait to get the skin 
The skin is not the only thing you get for $50, your getting an item from all of Blizzards games, Diablo, StarCraft II, Overwatch, World of Warcraft, Hearthstone, and Heroes of the Storm. You also get full access to the live streams and shows for 2018, its basically a digital replacement for those who cant physically go to Blizzcon
The skin is an optional feature, and Blizzard has every right to sell it along with the Blizzcon tickets. Heck, they arenât even selling itâItâs a perk that comes along with everything else included!
Weâve gotten limited edition skins before (Winston and Bastion), so why is it such a problem now? Besides, the skin WILL be available in the months following Blizzcon, so players who were not able to participate will have a chance to purchase it.
To all of the people who are calling Blizzard greedy, that isnât the case. They are a legitimate company with employees, deadlines, and a schedule to keep. They have to make a profit in order to stay afloat and keep producing content! If youâre willing to buy the ticket and accept the perks that come with it, youâre basically supporting Blizzard as a company. Youâre helping them pay their hard-working employees and developers, youâre ensuring that new maps, heroes, and games will be created with your donation, and frankly, that seems like a sweet deal to me.
To those who donât want to purchase a virtual ticket, then donât! Itâs completely optional, doesnât affect game-play, and no one will give you a hard time about it. Simply donât pester others into âboycottingâ the ticket because YOU feel that it isnât fair. Itâs as easy as that.
I donât see anything unreasonable about that.
Why are you talking about $100 worth of stuff when even blizzard doesnât mark it up to that? not even half that.
Have you looked at what you actually get?
$40 please.
Youâre complaining about the price of a thing that youâre not actually paying for, because itâs a bonus for the thing you are. If youâre only buying the ticket for the ingame cosmetic stuff, you have a terrible sense of prioritization with money.
Stop defending your⊠oh wait what are you defending again? The virtual ticket is for the content of Blizzcon, granted would you want to pay more money to go to blizzcon yourself and be bored in person as you would if you were to watch it online if you donât even watch the content. Your basicly paying Blizzard to watch their content where you wouldnât be there. The in-game content are technically extras. this content is for those who enjoy Blizzcon and all of their and not for those who enjoy just OW. so if your still saying that its for $50 for a single skin and ignore everything else your getting for the ticket. Your just playing off the heat of the topic to get attention that isnât needed. Defend yourself and â$50 skinâ topic all you want I canât please everyone with this post.

Players 2017: âLootboxes are gambling! At least give us a way to purchase cosmetics directly!â
Blizz: âOkay, but weâre going to make them exclusive and have them be included with passes to our events. Kinda like weâve done in the past.â
Players 2018: âTHIS IS UNACCEPTABLE!!! 40$ SKIN??? 30 DOLLAR EMOTE!!! 15 DOLLAR OWL SKINS!!!â
The level of ignorance astounds me. You just conveniently ignore all the rest of the items and bonuses you get with these passes and whatnot.
The OWL skins directly support the league.
The Sombra skin is part of the Blizzcon event and a reward for participating either digitally or physically.
The Lucio emote was part of the OWL premium set and came with twitch emotes, skins, etc.
They arenât just â40 dollar skinsâ or whatever false outrage you want to present, they are part of a package.
The price for the Virtual Ticket has been the same every year for Blizzcon. Every year we include things that are going to be exclusive and usually 1 item per game. This has not changed for this year.
