"Horrible day to be a Shion main" - Overwatch fans aren't happy about five new China-exclusive skins not coming to the rest of the world

Earlier this week, Blizzard released a new trailer for an upcoming event in Overwatch . Called 'Defiled Anthem', the event features skins and cosmetics for Shion, D.Mon, Kiriko, Reaper, and Emre, with the highlight of the whole activation culminating in a transforming 'Evolution' skin that changes sound effects and visual effects as the match goes on.

Basically, it's a $500 surcharge over a brand-new PS5 Pro and capitalizing on the fact that those are stock-constrained currently. A generous take on GameStop's new strategy for used PS5 Pros is that the company's conditioning us ahead of the possibility that the PS6 could cost $1,000 or more . Obviously, Sony isn't the only one increasing hardware pricing and consoles probably aren't getting cheaper anytime soon --mainly because of the ongoing chip shortage from AI development.
