That’s all good and well except for the fact that 99.9% of countries in the world are unable to get the new skin.
We can all quite clearly see that Blizzard’s focus does not extend very far outside of their borders (bar a few countries in Europe … which just so happen to be the major Allies).
I am royally pissed off about this.
