Pink Mercy is back, and some fans are angry !!!

This was one of my favourite skins for Mercy, and I’m glad Blizzard has brought it back. Though some fans are not happy…

If you are not aware, Overwatch released the Pink Mercy skin as a limited time offer, where if you purchased it, all proceeds would go to charity. Meaning, not only did you get an awesome skin, but you got to feel good about purchasing it.

This is what Blizzard have saud about it:

“Now, to answer the call of so many of you who have been asking for Pink Mercy in the years since, and to once again support an incredible cause, we’re excited to announce beginning on June 25, you can purchase the original Pink Mercy skin for the original price of $14.99 USD, with 100% of the purchase price (excluding any applicable platform fees and taxes) to be donated to the Breast Cancer Research

And that’s not all! We’re also giving everyone the chance to help support this cause with a brand-new charity cosmetic bundle, the Rose Gold Mercy bundle, also available for purchase for a limited time starting on June 25. This bundle will be exclusively available for a limited time for $19.99 USD, and just like Pink Mercy, 100% of the purchase price (excluding any applicable platform fees and taxes) will be donated to BCRF*, funding critical breast cancer research. “

So why are fans mad?

Well, some are mad because they where selling their old accounts because people loved the limited skin. Others because they seem to think this is just a money making gimmick.

That’s a lot to process, but this is a charitable act, so I don’t think we should judge Blizzard on it.
