@PlayOverwatch Overwatch has enough problems right now. Don’t you think you should be trying to make your game more fun instead of changing pointless stuff like this that nobody wanted you to do

@b_mcnett No, the Overwatch team is fixing the problem that is within their ability to fix. That is no small thing, nor is it a small expense in time, effort, and money. There is a ton of rubble at Blizzard right now. Let people lift the bricks that they can handle.

@IGN @Blizzard_Ent Will changing the name change the character or gameplay at all? No! That's the problem, all those who played and work on Overwatch will know know this character is McCree, but now has a new name. Changing the name does NOTHING to protect the workers of give piece of mind.

@PlayOverwatch I will no longer play overwatch if you were to change the name of McCree and will be asking for a full refund. Address the actual issues in Activision blizzard. This has changed nothing.

I daydreamed **** company Blizz renamed Mcree. But renamed him Mcdonalds. But act like theres no problem with that. and his lines constantly reference Burger King for no reason. Blizz and Overwatch then shut down. We eat chicken nuggets to celebrate.

@PlayOverwatch So don't change the name of a popular character for a dying game and fix the bloody game itself you numbskulls. Oh and you probably get this alot but... JUST WORK ON OVERWATCH 2 FOR GOD SAKE!!!

(@bunnytanktreads) reported
@SCMNSR @PlayOverwatch Blizzard get in trouble, Blizzard makes a meaningless change to Overwatch. The last time it happened, they made Jack gay in a comic. This time, a bunch of slacktivists whinged about McCree being named after an Blizzard employee and demanded the character be renamed.

@beakfriends My partner (who isn’t into video games) told me that $60 for Overwatch was extreme and a waste after I had sunk at least 200 hours into it Where is the disconnect? Why is there such a difference when it comes to video games vs other mediums?

@PlayOverwatch A lot of people are using the argument that the characters separated by the person and for you that might be true but for the employees exploited by the man it’s a different story. And yes blizzard could be working on more to fix but this is an overwatch team decision not a

@zazuch1 @Bidya_James Changing his name changes NOTHING. It does not touch upon the underlying issues present at Blizzard, and for all those who played or seen Overwatch he'll still be McCree. There isn't even a "Peice of Mind" issue. Hell they'll have to probably go through the coding and change

@UltimaShadowX As someone who doesn’t know **** about overwatch, why is his name a problem? Not saying it shouldn’t be I’m really just curious lol

I just had this conversation with a friend, who I'm sure has had enough of my ****, but I want to reiterate. the name change in overwatch and warcraft is not a cynical ploy by corporations to "distract" from the issues in the company.

Keep having video/broadcast issues with Beat Saber so we will revisit it once I figure out why. In the meantime, I'll be playing Overwatch for the next 2 hours. Going live in a few minutes

@tralyndavies This isn’t an executives decision to rename Mcree and ignore all the problems, its the small one thing the Overwatch dev team can do to make a safer work environment

Overwatch's Avoid Teammate option is too broken for late-night queues. The best feature ever implemented in a game.

(@Cootversing) reported
@PlayOverwatch This whole situation just tells me that Overwatch is no longer fun, it's also causing IRL suffering for some people. And they think changing a fictional characters name will solve the problem. This does nothing, for anyone. Overwatch 2 is already dead.

@jayla_comics @PlayOverwatch also the Overwatch Team has bigger issues then saving their Chefs from getting broke, they need new sponsors for OWL and Investors for OW2 they cant give their remaining employees a better environment without money for either developing a 5 year old game or developing a game (1)

@ManyATrueNerd Overwatch is just Activision Blizzards defense system when they get in serious trouble, like when they announced Overwatch 2 at Blizzcon to distract from having banned player for speaking out for Hong Kong.
