Stickers are more than something to sell to consumers - They can be advertisements used to target a gaming audience. Skype and Facebook have done this, offering free sticker packs for upcoming movies (e.g. Inside Out). A pack of stickers or a theme featuring characters from a game like Overwatch could potentially bring in revenue from both Blizzard and players.
