@sassynicole36 I can understand. When I first started playing Halo (dual analog stick FPS) I used to get bad headaches because I could see what I wanted to do but my fingers… And my son whizzes around in Minecraft and even Overwatch; no problems

@Zmure_ Welcome to live service games, the gaming community needs to realise that live service games are the ******* WORST. Just look at games that got horrible with more time passing: Rainbow Six Siege, Overwatch, Apex, Fortnight, GTA, For Honor and so on.

@SerratedViper People run off to steam apps to test reflexes against bots. Having it in game is massive. Overwatch had not practice too, yet that wasn’t an issue. Plus if a player DC’s it will be a bot that takes their place till a meeting player connects.

@UrbanNightmare_ I think the problem with overwatch is that it was taken too seriously. The goofy and more casual parts of the game got removed cuz blizzard wanted their next big esports scene or whatever

That said, I think the whole discourse around trans issues means I see fewer female characters in online games played by men, except in cases where they’re premade and not just aesthetic (Overwatch, etc) it used to be a lot more common

@LeafStorm10 @CrashBandicoot It’s perfectly okay to stop playing Blizzard Games like Overwatch, but what did Crash Bandicoot do aside from not being developed by Blizzard?

OVERWATCH: "Competitive Play has been temporarily disabled while we address a technical issue." "The issue? Well, technically, we work in a place run by ****** white guys who abuse their power and won't allow unions or workers' rights."

@rickthedamned The issue that I’m having is the bullying and harassment i get, as well as the negativity surrounding blizzard and it’s lawsuits. Even when I’m not playing Overwatch i still get people sending me hate messages and comments. So being away from it is probably the best thing for me

@ricky05701275 @Blizzard_Ent I concur, customer support is useless, I've discovered a problem in Overwatch which they are COMPLETELY oblivious about. It is the most ridiculous thing in the whole wide world!!!

@nxcharlie_ @chrrismale Not a problem haha. Lots of people use it in overwatch. Don't think you can get caught due to it looking like a controller is just plugged in, no cheats or anything.
