Seems to have lost the plot and the perspective.īut the name still sucks. I think its more important to focus on protecting the future, then worrying about the past. The real question with the high turn over a lot of studios have, how long are these people really going to stick around before you have to address the next lot of developers. That is the only reason I'm even remotely ok with this change. I get the staff might have asked for this. So yes Blizzard, great job of not addressing the actual problem. If anything you've just built a monument that will make people wealthy off of someone else's misery. Ultimately this was a pointless and useless gesture and it just created a ton of Jessie McCree merchandise that is now going to be worth a whole hell of a lot of money in 20 years for having a different name for the character than what will be featured in future merchandise. Let's keep in mind here that not everyone who plays OW knows the lore well enough to quote it back to someone, let alone tell you the history behind that lore that got characters their names. However he lost any claim to that name the day overwatch unveiled this cowboy rogue outlaw with a shady blackwatch past to the world. Sure the many behind the name did bad things.

Literally played with a free company that hadn't a clue about this the other day. It'll be more forgotten than the fact that FF14 was a failed MMO that was relaunched. Sad part is no one is going to remember who Jesse McCree was beyond the character in OW one days suddenly having a name change. Let's take the easiest name we can find "cole" and slap some cowboy outlaw sounding name from history on it like "cassidy". I think this is a really poorly conceived name and stinks of laziness among the staff. My thoughts go out to you and I hope you have got the support you need and I hope the cause of the abuse has been addressed. Try calling out bad behaviour in real life and not just online behind a keyboard.įor anyone that answered yes to victim of abuse. With so many heroes online society should be sorted by now.
It’s a shame that abuses are so common place. I can’t comment if they need to do more because I don’t know on the ground what they are doing. If you say - I don’t see wrongdoings happening to call it out - you are massively part of the problem. If we all lead by example instead of simply calling out others real change will come. If you answer no to either of those please work on yourself before being so vocal and demanding more. All the high and mighty posters here I have two questions…ġ - have you ever been abused in ways like this?Ģ - do you call out wrong doing in your own life whenever you see it? What I will say - obviously the abuse we are talking about is abhorrent and changes are needed. We can’t then have a go for them doing it. The “I knoW everything and never done anything wrong and hold everyone to account crew” and the “oh no “cancel culture” is horrible and there are no issues in society apart from the horrible treatment white men get”įirstly those that were involved in the said abuse asked for this name change. We really do have the two horrible ends of the spectrum posting here don’t we…. Just want to show a bit of perspective here. When you've spent so long being toxic alpha male wannabes, even the little changes aren't enough. Other men who worked at Blizzard that didn't like the immaturity were probably afraid out of fear of being harassed as well, and the LGBTQ+ harassment was off the charts. Many women worked at blizzard in fear for who knows how long. Will they stop getting accused of not doing enough? Of course not. It is just so much quicker, will help with their court case, and it will generate good headlines for the press. OF COURSE they are name changing, replacing offensive assets, and doing everything they possibly can IN THE MOMENT to save face. Which takes longer a legal battle with the state, a name change, or a massive restructuring of the entire game company? I may not like Blizzard, nor support the toxic environment they were committed to, but lets be honest here. Sat 23rd Oct Unfortunately, "useless changes" like this one are the FASTEST ones they can implement.
