Blizzard would really do anything to drive attention to their shitty games.

Not gonna lie, that sounds slightly illegal (likely isn’t?) and also slightly disgusting. Like, I’d probably dig the esthetic, but I don’t want random peoples blood in my PC.

Why not? How often are you taking your PC apart?

Kiss did something similar with a comic book back in the '70s.

I seem to remember something similar a little while ago except it was like a pair of shoes or something.

Edit: It was Lil Nas X and his Satan Nikes.

Never mind that ‘infusing’ can mean basically anything - I still think it reflects an off-putting attitude towards our bodies. The concept itself seems immature and gross. If it makes people donate blood, it’s hard to actually oppose it though.

Dollars to donuts, they’re going to put a drop of pasteurized pig blood in the paint and then dye the coolant red.

It def seems like a bit of a biohazard, but what’s off-putting about it otherwise? If the blood is sterilized well and there is not much of it its more of a cool talking point then anything

Don’t get me wrong, I love when people do good, but giving few thousand bucks (and spending much more on marketing) so you can convincen others to do good and hide your fuck ups is not really “doing good”.

I didn’t say anything about good, I said metal

The donated blood is just a bonus
