"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
Blizzard Entertainment has released new China-exclusive skins for Overwatch characters, including Shion and D.Mon, sparking widespread fan backlash. Players are unhappy that these highly-praised cosmetics are not available globally, a recurring issue attributed to the relationship with Chinese publisher NetEase. While some exclusive content has historically benefited Chinese players, the current situation has intensified feelings of prioritization and disappointment among the international player base.
