It has been known that the beloved cowboy we all know and love is getting a name change due to circumstances at Blizzard.
Rumor has it that there is a post going around that his new name is:
Harold Clementine.

There have been other instances where a Dev has for one reason or another change something about a character. Whether that be their name or how they work game-play wise and end up re-doing the entire character.
A semi-recent example, is Tachanka from Rainbow Six Siege. When he got his a long awaited revamp to his kit, and they re-did his entire character in the process. Only his name stayed the same, everything else from his VA (I think) to his backstory and looks changed.
Iâm curious, if Blizzard is planning on just a name change. Or will it be to difficult to figure out a new name for Jesse without re-designing the character entirely. 
Also Jesse, does not look like a Harold. The sir name of Clementine, I can accept.
Not Harold.

Thatâs hilarious. Tony would be good too.
Smh my head, they better use the most cowboy-ist name possible for him:
Flint Blackwood Shotgun Black Coffee Rattlesnake Tobacco Brisket-BBQ Jalapeno Blackjack Leather Cassidy

Iâd argue it does. We donât even know if the name change has done anything to help the real McCreeâs possible victims. I honestly think blizzard did this as a smoke screen, and that the real McCreeâs possible victims would have rather seen their day in court.

I have a definite opinion on this matter
I donât care
The Overwatch team likely did this for the sake of their fellow employees who get reminded of the irl McCree every time they boot up the game. You could definitely interpret it as an effortless PR stunt but the change isnât meant for you, itâs for the people who work at Blizzard who knew the guy either personally or not.

He need some better to say name to replace good old cree short way to call him
Har does not sound that well.
âLook out its HAR!â
âHAR ultingâ
âHAR behindâ
Dont sould to well to me at least. And no time to say Harold tbh.
Maybe his American cowboy ethos has in fact been all ruse and heâs revealed to be a certain Frenchman all along. Think about it, Gerard gets âkilledâ and shortly after this âMcCreeâ walking cowboy outlaw stereotype appears on the sceneâŚ
