Blizzard also revealed that over $10 million of the funds were raised through the skin alone, with the rest coming via the Pink Mercy limited edition t-shirts that were being flogged on Blizzard's website. Twitch streamers also played their part, donating over $130,000.
The Pink Mercy campaign ran between May 8 – 21.
