Everyone I saw this post get bumped, I have posted details about the limiations for console players to get the Brigitte skin here:

Regarding the Support-A-Streamer promo & console players

Hey everyone, this was asked in various threads through the last 24 hours, however instead of tracking down all of the replies that asked, I figured it would be better just to inform all of you directly here. I did get confirmation that the code received to obtain the Brigitte Medic skin is only redeemable on BattleNet and that any console players will need to wait until the upcoming cross-progression features are live before they can access the skin on console platforms when Overwatch 2 goes li…

As for supporting streamers, many on their do deserve it.

Actually no, the ones who do deserve it are the small streamers who have stuck by Overwatch for god knows what reason. But no, let’s reward big streamers who haven’t touched the game in 5 years or never even played the game.

It has nothing to do with supporting streamers and never did in the first place. It’s all about advertising Overwatch 2, which is why Blizzard have completely irrelevant people involved.

LOL how is it “no”, I am talking about supporting any and all streamers who supported OW during the dark times, not people who ditched the game. But let’s be realistic here- it’s not about “deserves” its about business but you’d be lying to yourself that the streamers don’t also benefit. I never said it was a charity drive, but you guys going off on “oh, I really know what its about” are forgetting yes, at the end of the day this is all a simple equation:

Blizz runs a for-profit business providing entertainment at a cost - you pay a cost to have that entertainment. That’s all it comes down to. If some direct “good” can occur along the way like the Pink Mercy skin or even say this level where it’s indirect, it’s better than just it all going to Blizz right? It’s first for advertising no doubt, but it’s also a handy way to help entice people into view OW and support streamers. Stop being so dichotomous in your thinking, there is win-win-win here.

Yeah expect they are relying on us to spare the costs of their advertising.

[QuantumElf-11792]

Which is perfectly fine, fwiw you pay for all their advertising any way, at least this is direct and helps streamers. Like it or not you pay for everything you get from Blizzard on some level, so what? They aren’t a state-run charity service…

So like I originally said, the less people who buy it the better.

So it’s the cut-off-my-nose-to-spite-my-face line of reasoning - okay.

They’ve released every other skin in the game across all platforms at the same time before this. I don’t care what excuse you ppl invent there is no good reason for this. Its their game and their skin. Releasing a skin they made in their game that people paid $18 for shouldn’t be rocket science. Give everyone what they pay for when they pay for it or don’t sell it at all.

First off it is $15. If you are paying $18 you are paying at the wrong location (streamers outright say not to gift subs from the App store because Apple just pockets $1 and the charge is passed on).

Second, whatever technical thing they ran into is clearly not worth dealing with when everyone will have it in 3 months and in the grand scheme of several years 3 months is not worth worrying about.
