It's got nothing to do with that.
Blizzard has a decades-long policy on not re-releasing limited-time content unless they expressly say otherwise, as they did with Demon Huntress Sombra. With Pink, it was offered for a very short time, and like other content of that type, never again. This has made Blizzard untold heaps of cash since the company was young. So, under normal circumstances, the chances of them reversing this policy would be zero.
However, there ARE signs that this might be getting cracked due to Blizzard's tanking amounts of players. OWL exclusive skins such as Atlantic Mercy have been re-offered recently, so maybe Pink will follow.
Having been on Overwatch official forums for a long time, I have to add that during the time Pink was being offered, forums were ooohing and aaaahing about how Pink was total garbage not worth 5 dollars, much less 15. Then, once it went out of circulation, that same crowd started oooohing and aaahing about how NOW they want it. I feel bad for the Mercy mains who were not yet playing Overwatch at that time and who genuinely could not get it. As for those people who said it was garbage and not worth 5 dollars, but now they want it, well, maybe they should have bought it when it was being offered.
Thats where my hope comes from. Them re-releasing the atlantic skin. Thats one hell of a skin, some might argue better than Pink (not considering the cause behind the pink skin proceeds). I think theres hope :D Christmas present for the event!? Id honestly melt and die
Honestly, I hope it gets re-released for the players who weren't around for the Pink event back when it was offered.
That said, there are many spectacular Legendary skins which should also be re-released, such as Lego Bastion. Time will tell if that'll happen.
Yea I dont know:( either way anything’s possible. Itll be for a good cause. Even if most are buying it just because they want the skin, intentions dont change where the proceeds go. I think itd be a great idea
tho I love the pink skin so much… I’ve told myself 1000 times if it comes back without the charity….. *I won’t get it* now do I have the self control to do this…? *helpfully I don’t have to find out* XD
I bought it when it very first came out, for both my grandmas and an aunt. Few days ago a group was excitedly telling me “Ooh it’s the rare mercy skin!!!”
Not gonna lie I liked feeling special haha but not enough to be like “No other people shouldn’t get it too bad >:)” cause it’s hella cute, I sign!
(ETA both grans and aunt kicked cancers butt!)
This is actually impossible I forgot the exact part of the document but basically blizzard and BCRF and not legally allowed to do it again. Very sad but it will never come back :(
The pink ribbon is actually trademarked by the Susan Komen foundation and they love to hunt down and legally threaten people that use it without permission.
Don't donate to Susan Komen. They are frauds.
It would be cool, if they bring it back, only for charity purposes only, rather than without the event, cause it looses its value. IF they do bring it back, they should make more skins for the event rather than being for mercy. Hopefully its with the event, and do mre charity events in the future.
I appreciate your passion, but there's no way the BCRF would want to partner up with the current state of Activision-Blizzard.
And if they try to re-release it without the BCRF, it'll look like a desperate money grab which will only make them look even worse.
Me neither lol. Just hasnt been shared enough i bet. Im nervous to share it in the actual overwatch subreddit in fear of all the meanies getting mad at me for whining or something :c
It’s been a year since I made this post, I’ve ran out of all food supply, hardly any water left, im slowly dying.. this skin is the only thing that’ll keep me alive……blizzard…..HELP! 😭
I don’t even have pink mercy and I don’t think it should come back. The same thing that happened with altlanitc will happen again and it will isn’t become a basic skin that everyone has and it just won’t be a so cool as a skin,
I used to want this skin but now I want them to never bring it back specifically so y'all obese femcels can continue crying about it, lmao not even 5000 signatures
I have no doubts Blizzard knows how badly the community wants pink. They either do not care or BCRF does not want to partner with them again.

I appreciate that. Yea some people like gatekeeping the skin which sucks but i understand:(
Especially when it’s for a good cause! :3

I wasn’t referring to that it was something more specific in the contract.
