    @bakloverr I can help you fix your hacked overwatch account without disappointing you message me

  • JJimbob8 JediJimbob8 (@JJimbob8) reported

    I’m genuinely incredibly sad about the Activision/Bluzzard situation. While I’m not a huge fan of COD or Overwatch, I bloody loved the Crash and Spyro games that were published by them. Hoping that Toy For Bob can find a new home after all this has blown over.

  • Sirennade_ Zane the big dinosaur nerd (@Sirennade_) reported

    @SeoulessOW Gotta make Genji overwatch real so we can say he owns Activision and is gonna fix it

  • Evan4567222 Evan 🎋 (@Evan4567222) reported

    Love can leave you broken and alone. Monkey Overwatch will not leave you broken and alone

  • darth_noxius DarthNoxius (@darth_noxius) reported

    @appabend451 Good thing i left first wow in the dust with cataclysm, then overwatch after 2 months, i hope they crash and burn hard after this..... The gaming Company that brought much joy to my choldhood, everyone, reduced to this.....

  • GottMuseBurner Black Omnisexual Goth *** (@GottMuseBurner) reported

    @Blizzard_Ent I lagged out of a game of overwatch and was penalized for leaving when in reality I had no say over whether I left or not. Fix your servers, this is ridiculous.

  • CaptAwesomeIRL Gaming’s Most Positive Pillar (@CaptAwesomeIRL) reported

    And here we go with the unfollowing. You’re part of the problem. We need to do something about it. People don’t realize how often this stuff happens to me. I have a disability, I’m not good at Overwatch I know.

  • LordGorgeous2 MrBeautiful (@LordGorgeous2) reported

    @RingtailBear @VoidBurger Ngl crash bandicoot has to be the lamest diversion anyone's ever done. Like couldn't even get some overwatch 2 footage?

  • azuremarill kelly @ ひぐらし卒🪓💉📿 (@azuremarill) reported

    Re: what’s going on in the games industry right now, please don’t say **** like “well good thing I play X game instead of overwatch!!” Or whatever it’s very unhelpful AND disrespectful to the actual victims while glossing over the actual problem because this is a systemic,

  • YaBoy_Badger Badger😼 (@YaBoy_Badger) reported

    @iiiireflexiiii @ITSBLASPHVMY @Locallls Activision Blizzard makes Overwatch, Crash Bandicoot, etc. Activision is just activision and makes CoD

  • CaptAwesomeIRL Gaming’s Most Positive Pillar (@CaptAwesomeIRL) reported

    @EliotAThomas I’ve been playing it consistently since March and I have had 0 issues, while Overwatch I’ve lost count of the number of bullying incidents

  • TheBois26 A.L.T.E.R (@TheBois26) reported

    @amagicmantv Dude I was confused cause when I left I just saw your thing crash and also (it’s me overwatch player)

  • BeeeanyOW Beany (@BeeeanyOW) reported

    @JaylynnBree Overwatch is not the issue as far as we know and there are no accusations against them - only positive feedback from women who work there. The problem is the Blizzard lead, employee management, and the terrible people who committed these crimes.

  • Iyxon Iyxon/Ellos (@Iyxon) reported

    The biggest OW streamer gets max, 6k viewers. The category as a whole floats around 20k. Compared to followers on Twitter, those reflect people actively engaged. Overwatch has 10 million monthly active users, and this issue is game industry wide.

  • imazombii TGR | zombii 🌹🐯 (@imazombii) reported

    I just wanted fun games for my birthday, man. Instead I got griefers in Overwatch, hackers in Valorant, and super sweats (I mean, fair) and lag switchers in Smite. Whatever happened to having ******* fun?

  • RossReelachart Ross Reelachart (@RossReelachart) reported

    So is Activision-Blizzard still in trouble or did they release a new Overwatch waifu, thus causing all their fawning fanboys to defend them again?

  • realjessejo realjessejomartinez (@realjessejo) reported

    Bronze players are supposed to be VERY NEW or VERY BAD at the game. I am NEITHER. There's NO WAY. Hence, everything I've said in this thread holds up and is true. Overwatch NEEDS to fix titles for SR - there are GM's who are NOT GM's AT ALL believing so. 21/21

  • Alexamber_ Alex/Amber (@Alexamber_) reported

    The number of people speaking against activision is great, but the ones who've stayed quiet are even louder. More men in gaming need to speak up about this. I don't care how much you've loved WoW or Warzone or Overwatch, if you cont to support this you're part of the problem.

  • LastQuincyDce Quincy/ドルトン (@LastQuincyDce) reported

    @xShannonBruce That's the same with me. I have fallen out of love with gaming because of a bunch of issues (including moral battles). But Overwatch and Hearthstone are two of my fave games and two of only...I wanna say 5 games I actively enjoy rn. I won't be buying any booster or chests now

  • Charlen_92 A living, breathing, statistical impossibility! (@Charlen_92) reported

    @RomeGoLARGE Last Acti game I bought was Sekiro (but they only published that joint) and it was Overwatch before that, I really wanted Crash Team Racing and Tony Hawk but I just couldn't justify them so no I won't.

  • Reignited_Spyro Reignited Spyro (@Reignited_Spyro) reported

    @K_Kid9902 Exactly. Plus Spyro and Crash, A: Aren't even developed by Blizzard where the issue seems to be stemming from. And B: Aren't even Activision's big money makers. If people really want to go that route then it's CoD, WoW, and Overwatch they need to hit.

  • notveryromantic ˗ˏˋ k a i ˎˊ ˗ (@notveryromantic) reported

    @EvilToaster 3v3s sounds like a nice game mode. I feel like with battle royales, my issue is that there's way too much going lol. which I guess is ironic to say considering the state of overwatch rn.

  • BlizztheWiz Dante Mii (@BlizztheWiz) reported

    @ShadowRush2112 Good thing I don't like COD or Overwatch so I can **** on this company all I want! What sucks is how ips I like, such as Crash and Spyro are related. But what's more important is the scummy **** Asstitvision did

  • CrunchNAsty420 《°•☆•°》 (@CrunchNAsty420) reported

    IDGAF, but ppl be preaching about that Activison/Blizzard issue going on be the same ppl that stay playing COD, Overwatch, W.O.W, etc. If people really cared they would all log out and have 0 people on the servers, making a big statement. The reality of that happening is 0%

  • Orange_TTV ORANGE 🍊 (@Orange_TTV) reported

    @ScaryDayDream Goes all the way up to the top. J Allen Brack dodged the entire Hong Kong/Overwatch issue two years ago and now was essentially a knowing bystander in some absolutely despicable behavior. I've never cared much for any of their IPs but this is so so so far beyond that

  • GoodBiRanger Sabe “Sussy Baka” Biranger (@GoodBiRanger) reported

    And that eventually you, and other people, will forget about the issue and move on. Do y’all remember the Hong Kong issue? Same thing happened. So yes, maybe Blizzard’s sins shouldn’t be yours to bear specifically. MAYBE the overwatch team had nothing to do with all this- 4/?

  • Itsameantonia Antonia Hates Fossil Fuel Companies 🌿 (@Itsameantonia) reported

    @pastelnoivern @Mad_Madame_Em @CaseyExplosion They do run data on player numbers. Also if they see lower numbers in say Overwatch it could potentially also effect things like queue times (if that's still an issue? I haven't played in a long time). The shareholders look at numbers and player interaction so they'd notice.

  • subIimeskies emily - is self (@subIimeskies) reported

    **** giving money to blizzard through warcraft or overwatch, **** supporting COD or crash or spyro financially, **** all of that.

  • fleeingsvnlight Leona's wife. (@fleeingsvnlight) reported

    sucks when someone in friend group is a blizzard fanboy and obsessed with overwatch and just,, ignores the issues rn lo lo
