@Fredrick863407 @ScottJAw @PlayOverwatch The problem is they already don’t like overwatch and they look for every minuscule reason to complain simply because they have nothing better to do.

@MarzGurl I used to play WoW damn near religiously back in the day, even Overwatch. If only I knew then what I know now. Do you think Microsoft can straighten out the work culture, even amidst their own issues?
