(@lukellios) reported
@Jrtybee I'm not sure who asked for it, devs or higher ups. To me, it seems like a decision to bring focus to Overwatch and "sort of" address the problems after it was revealed they shredded evidence. Definitely a "oh no look over here!" thing

@Dragienna @YorobiSan Its not about changing the problem. They are doing it to remove a persons actual name from something because they don't deserve to have their name representing a hero in their game. I have played overwatch since its release and think its fine since its a ******* game lmao

Blizzard can't fix their ****. Overwatch can't fix their ****. Low key.. most people can't even fix their ****. So when someone makes an effort to do right.. why are we shitting on them? McCree hurt people & Overwatch's dev team is removing the glorified name. Stop bitching.

@banriion @PlayOverwatch 1) No one on the Overwatch team has been accused. 2) The real-life guy has been completely fired. 3) Taking away the in-game honor they gave him is further punishment for him. 4) This is far from the only thing they are enacting to address the issue.

The people who agreed to this, are you serious? Are you ******* serious??? You better understand that changing name won't absolutely fix the situation in any way, it will only make everyone memorise this lame #mccree #Overwatch

Okay I don't think I'm ever going to be really serious on here but with what's going on with #Overwatch and #McCree, changing the characters name is not the issue. People are focusing on the wrong things, leave the character alone, if you don't like it, don't play. Simple.

@DarthRaverino @Hyper10sion_ problem is, I dont think Overwatch as a Title has that much of a Long run left in it, considering Overwatch 2 was announced (and never spoken of again) and Currently OWL has been suspended for a year

This is bad comedy, like painting BLM on a road and calling it "mission complete" on social issues. 😑 Here is a quick solution, Blizz: · continue to add, fix, & support the current game · Release #Overwatch 2 · Fire/suspend those involved with the allegations, per HR guidelines

(@Peregrine_ST) reported
Daily reminder to you absolute dumbfucks that the Overwatch team had nothing to do with Blizzard's WoW+CoD teams. Them changing the name of McCree is not them pretending to change, it's them acknowledging the issue. The OW team CANNOT change what happens in the WoW team.

@banriion @PlayOverwatch The Overwatch team hasn't been accused in the lawsuit. This reads very much like the development team doing this because they chose to, not because Activision Blizzard made them. It's ActiBlizz that needs to do better, not the OW team specifically on this issue.

LRT People are saying Overwatch choosing to rename McCree is "missing the point" and not fixing anything. But the community is missing the point if they think Overwatch is presenting this as a fix for ABK's issues or this is completely insignificant. The name change is important.

@PlayOverwatch 1.) “The Overwatch team isn’t responsible” Almost like… hear me out… they’re employed by the company who did it? Making them a part of the problem? Changing the name of a character does not help female victims and is extremely performative.

@TaliaMirai Honestly it feels to me like the Overwatch team is doing one of the few things they concretely *can* do right now given how many of the problems are at a management/executive level beyond their specific department

(@CriticalBard) reported
And a big thing to note — the accused are NOT Overwatch employees. But OW is under the ActiBlizz umbrella. It’s hard to say I support OW without that also meaning I support ActiBlizz, which is why I’m still not playing. But this shows OW is /trying/ to fix some things.

@banriion @PlayOverwatch But that's what people asked of the Overwatch team, which never involved IRL Jesse McCree. This is what they ripped their shirts for, as idiotic as it is. This is twitter, the real problem doesn't matter, only the one person who said something in private 20 years ago

Employees: We have a list of clearly outlined demands including transparency in pay and more diverse hiring. Blizzard: Blizzard: We can rename a character in Overwatch, did we fix it?

@CrokarTheMighty @stargateheaven @PlayOverwatch Yeah but if they did that, then people would still complain. There is no option that won’t piss someone off. And there are bigger issues in Overwatch and Blizzard than them changing the name

@PlayOverwatch Whoever decided to make this change clearly cannot separate fiction from reality. Overwatch's Mcree is not the same Mcree that worked at Blizzard. An "All Persons Fictious" disclaimer would have been enough. Either way, Blizzard has MUCH bigger problems to deal with right now.

(@OWGrandma) reported
I think it's fair enough to hold the Overwatch team to account re: making good changes in their dept to combat harassment and abuse over just changing McCree's name but complaining about the change because it's "not real content or balance changes" is not really the issue here...

@drjohnofarc @Coppertouret @Wowhead Keeping the cowboy from overwatch 2 named after Jesse McCree is not going to keep people caring about the rampant misogyny of corporate America, dude. We have deeper the problems than people forgetting. Fundamentally, most people don't really oppose the culture that creates this.

People saying that renaming McCree in Overwatch doesn't achieve anything. It means you don't have a character named after Jesse McCree in your game. That is good. It doesn't solve Blizzard's problem but it is a net good.

I hate it with half of the balance issues in overwatch, they apply bandaid fixes. This is only one of the many reasons why it's a mess.

@TechVolt717 @SamitoFPS It doesn’t matter. McCree is such an important and iconic part of Overwatch and overlooking the fact that he’s named after an abuser because “oh, not a lot of people know” is stupid as ****. This is a step in a good direction and shows they recognize their internal issues. (1/2)

@eterna_forest You mean… the multi billion dollar company that employs the Overwatch team? Where this problem has been known for months and all they can do is say they’re going to change a name later? Yet you call me uneducated lmao
