WIdowmaker Noire Skin

General Discussion

The game didn’t cost extra for having the skin. I didn’t per-order the game yet I have the Noire skin because I found it on eBay. We’re getting into the realms of ridiculousness if we’re getting worked up about a skin that only exists in the ether.

I see more people say “DO IT” than I see “DON’T DO IT” Making it “majority” I do not however, know an exact number to make a percentage. So I won’t give a statistic. I will make an observation and ASSUME it is a majority… Stop trolling. Stop trying to pull the “gatcha” card, attempting to point out contradictions in posts, and make a damn contribution to the topic. Otherwise… leave.

Yeah, I’d donate mine if I could. I’ve got Widow in a bikini. I’m good.

You can also buy plenty of other limited exclusive in game items, or even physical merchandise, from other franchises all over eBay, that wouldn’t make the re-release of the product sold as exclusive by the manufacturer any more ethical.

And as we all know, highly limited, biased, personal experience is equatable to fact. So because you see more calling for it than not, or are more likely to remember it because of confirmation bias, that means that that’s undeniable truth? And yes, majority is a statistic my friend. It is <51% (technically it’s greater than or equal to 50 and then a tiny decimal but my computer doesn’t have the greater than or equal to sign and I’m not typing all that out.) And it’s only when you’re called out for that garbage that you admit it’s a massive assumption on your part.

How about…

They’re exclusives for a reason. If you make them available to buy now then any future exclusives and incentives lose value. The whole point of them is to be able to say “I did X,” which is in this case pre-ordered the original game.

No… it’s an assumption.

As far as im aware and I remember this from launch, blizzard will take the skin off you if obtained through a blacklisted code. I know a few people who did buy from 3rd parties lost their skins at least.

Plenty of companies actually scour 3rd party sites just to track down 3rd party sellers of codes or keys.

Purchasing from ebay is dumb to begin with.

Honestly its the best widow skin imo. Its simple, but not too simple.

It was a one time reward for pre orders… re releasing it for purchase or even worse, to earn for free is a giant slap in the face to the people who took the time/money to pre order.

I have and use noire skin from origins… and i have no problem if blizz will make it alvalible for other people …
It would be much better if people could buy it from blizz rather than from scammers

its been few years now since game was released… i think that all skins should be alvalible after such long time

I cannot stress this enough: I pre-ordered the game.

Like that EXCLUSIVE Lucio emote I spent £30 on which is available for much less. Yeah…

That also came with “away” skins that you can’t get without purchasing the All-Access pass.

57

What does that have to do with anything I said?

If exclusives get made available to purchase at a later time, then they lose their value as exclusives.

Further, it’s not as if the Noire skin is the only exclusive in existence. What about the Blizzcon exclusives?

58

The emote was all I was interested in tbf. I’d honestly prefer that they released the Atlantic and Pacific Skins uniforms the Pros played in during the All Stars weekend because they were :ok_hand:

59

I doubt they will ever release it for everyone.

I had to buy the game again to get the code. But I love Widowmaker so.

61

  1. I’m not trying to purchase the noire skin again. I want it available as an account bound item and not platform bound.

  2. Agreed.

  3. What about them? I have the 2016 Blizz*Con exclusive Bastion skin. but not the Winston skin. I’m okay with that, because I didn’t purchase the ticket last year. My loss. bummer. moving on.

P.S. they are going to make the Sombra “Demon Hunter” skin a purchasable item later next year, even though it’s an exclusive now… Which I think is wrong.

62

  1. I didn’t say you were trying to purchase it, so I’m not sure why you keep bringing that up.

  2. Exactly. Bummer for them, move on.
