Hello Blizzard, Where is the new Undead Nursey Skin, You have had 2 stupid bastion skins in the halloween shop, PLEASE TAKE MY 10 DOLLARS JUST GIVE ME THE SKIN
A better question to ask:
Where is all the money to be made from?
Is it by selling:
- A single low quality $10 epic reskin of Mercy
– or is it – - $50-$68 (Or more!) in time-limited KPOP collab skins?
I think it’s safe to say the question answers itself, doesn’t it?
Given the limited space they allot themselves in their estore, it doesn’t even make sense to put the now out-of-season zombie nurse Mercy next to the current HOTTEST THING - the KPOP girls, does it?
Guess we gotta wait for Mercy. Maybe she’ll show up in time for Thanksgiving?
(Maybe it was meant to be an early Winter Wonderland teaser? )
They’re focusing on collab skins now.
Blizzard probably wants to give people time to recover their wallets before selling zombie nurse Mercy.
some of us found the nurses in Silent Hill kinda hot, if you just dont look at their faces ; )
The OW Team hates Mercy, they will sell the epic skin whenever they want, since it is an epic skin they will not make any profits and they are in no hurry to put it in the shop
They had Witch Mercy skin in shop, there was no reason they could not have put Zombie Nurse Mercy up there instead.
Look, I’m not defending Blizzard, just trying to explain their behavior (since they never will directly admit to anything regarding their decisions for cosmetic sales offerings for the skin shop or BP, or the whole morality of their business practice themselves, lol).
Witch Mercy is a proven repeat hit, year after year. So maybe as a legendary skin, it was the safer choice over a “mere” untested epic reskin, at least to the bean counters.
Alternatively: we can always just blame the intern managing the shop…
I will tell you right now that they absolutely will make profits.
I have never heard more people complain about a skin not being in the shop every single reset. The reality is, it’s gonna make immense profit.
I wonder if it’ll be in the Eldritch themed BP. Should have given it out for the Halloween event, IMO.
Truly based.
It comes down to getting people to spend money.
If they put Zombie Mercy out two or three weeks ago, then the Mercy girlies and boylies would’ve bought it up and been happy and might not have bought the Kpop skins.
What they did was put the Kpop skins now, this entices the Mercy girlies and boylies to buy those and then also buy the Mercy skin later. Because they would buy the Mercy skin no matter what. But they might not have been so quick to buy the Kpop skins if they had already spent $10 on the Mercy skin.
It’s a game of odds. They’re simply taking advantage of the fact that the Mercy fandom is hugely loyal. Knowing her skin will sell for certain, delaying the availability increases the chance that those same players will spend money on other things first.
