Currently, on PTR, the Demon Hunter Sombra Skin has been moved to the “legacy” category. When it was previously listed as 1000 credits.
I think that the Devs know that the skin does have monetary value attached to it, because many people who bought the Blizzcon 2018 ticket used the skin as a factor in their purchase.
It did say in the fine print of the Blizzcon Ticket that “Overwatch in game items will be available at a later date in 2019.” However, that being said Blizzard doesn’t owe anyone the skin who didn’t buy it, so if they decide to make it a “Legacy” skin that’s their prerogative. When Jeff said there was a “new social feature” coming out in Fall of 2018 and didn’t deliver; that was a broken promise and rude, but it wasn’t fraud and he didn’t owe you that feature because there was no money behind his statement, just words.
The people who bought the Ticket have the skin. People who didn’t buy the Ticket don’t automatically deserve anything because they didn’t pay anything. If the Demon Hunter Skin is released at a later date, it should still be an exclusive skin and limited time, in my opinion, it was the right decision to pull back on the 1000 credit skin hitting live.
I do have the Demon Hunter skin, it’s not my favorite because the weapon is kinda chunky and distracting.
But you also indicated in another thread you were glad it wasn’t open to anyone else either… so…
The people who didn’t want/couldn’t buy a ticket should not be shut out when Blizzard indicated it would be available later so they held off. That’s just not fair to them either.

The only rewards in the game are cosmetic. Locking any of them at all and demanding actual money for them at any point is ridiculous imo. People that also paid an exorbitant amount of money for just the skin should probably have some type of lesson taught to them, especially considering how worked up they got. Seems like a harsh life lesson is what most denizens of this community needs.
People got mad because other people were going to get the thing they have that makes them feel special. That was 90% of the whiny threads about it.

I mean, to be fair, there’s the other side of the argument, where people are whining that they don’t get everything handed to them for free.
Let’s not pretend one group is acting more mature than the other.

Because they told us it would be available in 2019 and now they are not making it available because the illiterates that did not finish learning the alphabet in school couldn’t read the fine print and threw a hissy fit last week because they were making it available.

it’s a favourite tactic of the losing side to just make a new topic on a subject every time the first one starts turning against them vote-wise or post-wise.

Yah…they surely need no money to make new stuff.
Artist live on shoutouts alone.
Yah it was a ticket you bought and a skin you got as a gift…
I dont think so…
No its about players no having stuff others have and thus they are crying on the forum,

That’s actually trolling and I feel attacked
It’s Trolling
This post is inflammatory, extraneous or upsetting.
Welp, all i say is this
If they dont deliver it this year like they promised, then this is just shows that we cant trusts them
Not being able to deliver new feature is one thing, because its need to be developed right and implemented into game, this can get tricky
But adding skin they promised that is alredy in game? Yea, i dont think not doing what they said they do is good marketing move now.

Its just a skin, if you like it use it, and if not don’t.
Even if its available to everyone I will still use it.
Plus if you bought the ticket for the skin then you basically got what you wanted.
Also if rarity is what determines your choice of skin then I would be wearing those ugly blue Blizzcon reskins.

that is not trolling.
Hey the scientist moira is gonna be a standard skin from now on
puts off buying it
“Hey guys we just removed it”
Oh wow, but we didn’t buy the skin so no harm done. I was not gonna pay 60$ for just a skin because well… that would be sad but they promised us a skin and other people who would have bought it put it off because they were promised the skin would be available later but soon as they tried to make it available people had meltdown threads about it even though it was CLEAR IN THE FINE PRINT
I read the print and got the ticket because I wanted to watch the panel livestreams and I don’t even use the Demon Hunter skin, honestly. (Talon has the best weapon imo)
You keep calling people illiterate, yet you’re the one who can’t seem to grasp the concept that 2019 is not over yet, so the fine print has yet to actually be violated.

The Virtual Ticket said “Overwatch in game items will be available at a later date in 2019.” so if someone brought the ticket for just the skin then thats their fault and Blizzard doesnt have to back down because of it. Next time do you research properly if you want to purchase something.
Ive got it from a Facebook giveaway tho.

How does this contradict anything I’ve said
I feel like people are really jumping the gun here.
Let’s wait for clarification from blizz. Especially since the fine print hasn’t actually been violated yet.

Wait, so they are going back on their promise and not letting it be available? I hope it wasn’t because of the selfish children whining that other people would get what they have even though it was in the fine print.
Hell, is this not false advertising? I hope I’m misunderstanding something

well as wyomingmist so aptly said on their last post:
So tell me, when does it qualify as violated?

We don’t know for sure yet. It’s speculation, as the skin’s 1000 credit price on PTR was removed and it was moved into the Legacy category.
I would argue that once a change like this makes it to live. It’s the PTR, things can of course still change. Even after it goes live, Blizz could still change their mind again sometime during this year and they technically wouldn’t have violated the fine print.
