  • PsychicGaymer ThePsychicGaymer (@PsychicGaymer) reported

    @Tired_hack It used to be Overwatch but lately it's more so been speedrunning games with friends. Whether casual or trying its therapeutic to do a similar thing over and over. But insanely frustrating when you get so far on a good time and then ******* LOSE IT CRASH BANDICOOT YOU ****

  • MarbsTweets Marbles (@MarbsTweets) reported

    @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

  • Cootversing Cat vs (@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.

  • Sherbet_exe Sherbet (@Sherbet_exe) reported

    @OverwatchNaeri Unrelated but I love seeing early overwatch characters and imagining how broken they would be in the meta

  • bwmccree ‣ jesse (@bwmccree) reported

    overwatch can only fix this by making the cowboy mexican or indigenous or BOTH

  • kmchattie Kyle McHattie (@kmchattie) reported

    @Wowhead The overwatch team is stupid. His name is McCree and changing it because you no longer like the employee you name him after is petty. Why not focus on real issues, like the horrible matchmaking that has plagued the game since day 1.

  • OnceUponAEric EЯIC (@OnceUponAEric) reported

    @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

  • MarbsTweets Marbles (@MarbsTweets) reported

    @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.

  • Leo__Maximoff Leo Maximoff‎ ᱬ (@Leo__Maximoff) reported

    @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

  • Denziruu Denziru | im so sick AND TIRED (@Denziruu) reported

    Yk custom games in overwatch Yea Imagine scrolling a ton and seeing “Battle of the ****” I made that when i was 13/14 basically people were one shots, bar zarya so YOU GET ZARYA YOU WIN JUST SPAM THAT BARRIER BUBBLE and i couldn’t be arsed to fix her :D

  • Bendyth40459235 Bendy the dancing demon (@Bendyth40459235) reported

    @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!!!

  • rod6921 BlackKing621 (@rod6921) reported

    Doing Apex Legends solo is not working. So I'm back to Call of Duty and OverWatch for a while

  • Naito_Shade Naito-kun (@Naito_Shade) reported

    @OverwatchNaeri So stupid. The games aren't the issue. Don't change them. Change your company. @Blizzard_Ent @ATVI_AB #Overwatch

  • Kaiser4161 Kaiser416 (@Kaiser4161) reported

    @PlayOverwatch I'm pretty sure most people can understand that the Jessie McCree in Overwatch is not the same ******* at Blizzard - but hey, rewrite his name. That'll certainly fix the problem, right? Real talk, how many people even KNEW McCree was named after the guy?

  • flauschxger flauschxger (@flauschxger) reported

    @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)

  • SpectralSmitty SpectralSmitty (@SpectralSmitty) reported

    I'm not angry about the Overwatch cowboy's name change. That's okay. I understand the reasoning. The problem is that it's a band-aid over a much more serious problem at Acti-Blizzard (toxic work culture, harassment, shredding HR docs, the rat **** Bobby Kotick) and there doesn't-

  • Bendyth40459235 Bendy the dancing demon (@Bendyth40459235) reported

    @PlayOverwatch look im just trying to help you fix a dying game so for the sake of keeping the game alive. dont change mccree's name and just put in all the effort in overwatch 2

  • Kcdanielval Casey Valentine (@Kcdanielval) reported

    My Zephyrus can run overwatch on ultra settings with no issues but the second I ask her to run zoom/canvas she crashes

  • lorxedd Lorex (@lorxedd) reported

    @OverwatchEU console overwatch wants their t500 to be displayed in game 👍👍 fix this.

  • honter_bunposts hunter (🐇) (@honter_bunposts) reported

    @mewlett Yeah they make vague statements about company culture but the press release makes out like 80% of the problem is "it's weird for Overwatch to have real people's names in it at all"

  • bunnytanktreads ニンフォノムイコン (@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.

  • Cookiscuit Cookiscuit (@Cookiscuit) reported

    @SinisterPixeLP @Kyrpjooseppi6 @OverwatchEU >Overwatch team makes a change that really doesn't do anything and people are annoyed that the character's name is getting changed >"Don't criticize them for the decision, criticize the higher-ups since they are the ones that can solve the original problem" >????

  • thewilldabeast_ Your Mom (@thewilldabeast_) reported

    @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

  • mysterystar13 Arden Takeda (@mysterystar13) reported

    @IceTheDemon @PlagueOfGripes The Overwatch dev team can't change the issues, they're not Blizzard's higher ups

  • R3dInfinity__ R3D 💙 (@R3dInfinity__) reported

    @MoralNitro OW is distancing themselves from Blizzard's mess because what Blizzard is responsible for isn't what Overwatch means to a lot of people. It is also an issue the OW team cares about. Women that have worked on that team at come forward and said they were lucky to work on that team.

  • TylerTyler_____ Tyler (@TylerTyler_____) reported

    @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

  • Shacozzi Jin-Zhiao 恋童癖杀手 (@Shacozzi) reported

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

  • ShrapnelShark Soft Sand Shark (@ShrapnelShark) reported

    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.

  • SeanMcL35926883 Sean McLoughlin (@SeanMcL35926883) reported

    @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.

  • xFoolishness Devils Never Cry (@xFoolishness) reported

    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
