Didn’t think I’d have reiterate on this another time…
- Do Sony/Microsoft have a certification process for patches? Yes, and we never have denied this.
- Does it require a certification process for the Development Team to take the time to respond to their other player base, their Console Players? No, it doesn’t.
- Have BOTH Sony and Microsoft been VERY FLEXIBLE with Blizzard, contrary to that post of yours? Also yes, and Jeff has even admitted this fact himself.

We’ve been asking for a lot of this stuff since launch; that amounts to 2 YEARS. It should go also without saying that we’ve been asking for a lot of this stuff way before the Overwatch League was even announced. And a lot of this stuff as well is not that hard to implement either; justified further by the fact that other games, both current and from previous Console Generations, have been able to implement such items just fine. Tell me: how long must we wait for something as simple as a DEVELOPER RESPONSE to our concerns? Even something as simple as a response from a developer in this thread would not take more than 15 minutes.
Edit: I refer to this thread by the way: Simple things that aren't on console, but should be. (List) (Add your suggestions)
Also, don’t even bother trying to say that the Development Team doesn’t have time to respond to this thread or our concerns in general. You and I both know that that’s an absolute lie, and just merely looking in the Dev Tracker shows that they clearly have the time to respond to forum threads. Well, the new (now current) forums have been around for 2.5 MONTHS; and not a single Console thread on these forums has gotten a direct response from the Development Team. Heck, the last time that a Console thread DID get a direct response from the Development Team was 1 MONTH before the new (now current) Forums were launched.
As far as Console Players are concerned, that post of yours is just a self-serving excuse that people such as yourself like to use to try justifying why something can’t be added. Remember though, previous games, both from current and previous Console generations alike, were able to implement such items without issues. That excuse can’t be justified because of the OVERWHELMING amount of time that’s passed. It’s one thing if this post was initially made at launch; but we’re 2 YEARS beyond that now.
I will admit though that Blizzard themselves do not use that excuse; only their defenders do.
Take the time to read these following posts from the original thread. Each of them go even further in-depth on this and explain why that excuse can’t be justified:
I challenge you to do this: If, after reading everything that’s in this post (everything that’s linked too), you still think you can justify that excuse, then by all means, I’d love to see you try justifying it.
