You know when people say “ I would rather have no updates and character and you can spend that time fixing the game”? Well I think that’s what Overwatch 2 is, cause that hasn’t gotten anything in forever. Is it still live service this point

Lol, "Look at this thing Blizzard is doing with Overwatch!" I literally couldn't care less, y'all are a horrible company and I hope you crash and burn. Quit trying to do random **** to cover that up.

@PlayOverwatch Fictional universe is right. I don't recall terrible working conditions being an issue in Overwatch lore. Then again, I didn't take the time to read through Chu's twitter, which was and still is the best source to learn about this five year old game.

@Goosaphone To be somewhat fair, this is the Overwatch Team talking, and they're not in charge of Activision/Blizzard as a whole. It is not fair to attribute aspects to them that they're not responsible for. That said, they could, and should, be doing more to address the primary issue here.

@ashz_the_name eh, overwatch plays fast and loose with its lore anyway and iirc, there are voice lines implying that his name is a fake one already but this performative **** isn't gonna do much when the problems in activision-blizzard still haven't been adressed

No, changing the name of a character in Overwatch isn't gonna fix any of the structural problems in Activision Blizzard. But exactly how many of the problems do you expect can be fixed the ground-level workers living paycheck to paycheck? This is, like, all most of them can do.

@PlayOverwatch Are you kidding me!!! They want to change the name of McCree because of a few snowflakes. why don’t they work on the real Problems of Overwatch, the dumb $&@ Smurfs and get rid of cross play it is horrible. Why don’t you get rid of Winnie the Pooh he doesn’t wear any pants?

@OverkillTTV @sanxemi @PlayOverwatch 1- his name doesn't show up that much outside of overwatch circles. 2- you think that the changed name is gonna fix anything? you don't think they'll just associate the new character name with the old one? they couldn't have done something actually useful instead of this?

I don't see how the Overwatch name change is controversial, I've been calling him 'Shooty McCowboy' long before this was an issue 🤷

@OxygenDota @Aui_2000 im not really sure where youre going with this but comparing dota to overwatch seems like a crime. also, whats the problem on not being toxic on stream lmao. we live in a modern age where accountability should be upheld.

Yes it's a "whataboutism", but I don't care. If you have a problem with #Overwatch changing the name of #McCree then I implore you to stop consuming most media put out by Hollywood or other game companies. Separate art and artist, not that hard.

@PlayOverwatch So i've been playing overwatch since it started even but no more. Blizzard you failed to adress the issues with the game, you don't listen to the comunity. But the only time you care is when your wokeness level is called into question. Do you make video games or woke ideology?

@IGN TLDR: McCree was directly named after one of the problem employees, and that’s why they’re changing it so now that the employee is gone, there’ll be no reference of the person’s name in overwatch anymore.

@PlayOverwatch I don't know what's more mind blowing that they think changing a character name will fix everything Or people keep hitting the like button, what you guys should be doing is working on overwatch 2 story & online multiplayer

@TheDark75804573 Nope - like "holee FRUIT of the GawdZ" as in a classic Hustler Pictoral... Rather they fix what isn't broken - Overwatch was modern, progressive, something for everyone. Then Tracer has butt edits, becomes a token *******...etc. BTW - Tracer: I think she was meant to be>>>

why the hell is overwatch changing McRees name, I get the whole situation but is that really gonna fix anything ????

@VoicesByZane I said it in their response, but I feel itd be easier to just say his name is based on a combo of Mad Dog Mcree and Jesse James. And then just fire the employee and fix their internal problems. Just like dropping overwatch 2, making changes does not fix mistakes

@Kephrii People pretending to care about causes to come across as good people is not a problem specific to the overwatch community. Its a massive societal issue that I have no clue how we'll ever overcome

@MarbsTweets @Wowhead yes it doesn't fix the company for what happened- but it'll help the people who work on Overwatch to not be remined about a jack-*** anyways. Plus it wouldn't hurt anything in lore- it's just changing a name to disassociate from a abuser, It 100% justified!

Yeah this Overwatch thing ain't fooling nobody. You wait until the State of California alleges that you are destroying evidence before you comment on a 2-3 week old issue?

CSGO needs a 3rd party service and a team, Valorant is made by Riot and has a rootkit, can't in good faith support the Blizz by playing Overwatch, Siege is slower, and I have no intention on getting into BR because of how the genre is designed.

@Asmongold I don't think immersion is a factor in a game like Overwatch, and I have no issue if someone like Jeff Kaplan were to get a tribute in the game. Renaming the character does nothing for the victims and is another tone deaf response. Then again I don't play Overwatch so idgaf.

Blizzard has seen the error of their ways, and they’re gonna make up for destroying evidence/shredding HR documents by changing the name of a cowboy in Overwatch.

@Aui_2000 While you are right. Valve would not enforce changes that are problems on another platform like twitch. Overwatch did this and limited what pros could say and how they have to behave. Not sure dota can go that route.

He is ridiculously overpowered and has 225 hp and a hard cc, while Tracer has 150, Ash has 200, Brigitte (support/tank hybrid) has 200 . Sorry but Overwatch's issues go beyond one developer. I love the game but...
