Charity Skin has brought huge amounts of cancer research

In May, we reported on the action of Blizzard to give Overwatch players the opportunity to use the "Pink Mercy" charity skin to support breast cancer research. So, if you have picked up about 15 euros for the item at stake, you could donate to a good cause, as well as encourage other players to do the same with Pink Mercy.

Overlooking developer Blizzard now in a blog. According to $ 12.7 million in sales (about 10.8 million euros) were generated with matching Pink Mercy skin and t-shirts. According to Blizzard, 14 major streamers have contributed to the success of the campaign, bringing in more than $ 130,000 through charities.

As promised, the profits are intended to take full advantage of the nonprofit Breast Cancer Research Foundation coming. The organization is engaged in education, treatment and research on breast cancer.

The pink color of the charity skin to cure Overwatch Mercy is not a coincidence, but has a symbolic relationship to breast cancer. A symbol of breast cancer awareness, the Pink Ribbon admires a keen sense of suffering, similar to the Red Ribbon as a symbol of solidarity with HIV and AIDS patients
