Some wanted to redesign the eagle but all the paperworks and law behind it makes it all problematic. So they just left it as it is.
Makes sense most people have a sense of pride from there home countrys flag and that brings all sorts of taboos and other silly stuff that can make it into the law
Not gonna lie the flag without symbol should be added as the eagle was kinda scuffed in that icon. But at least we had a player icon even tho it didnt last very long.
It might not be too late tho they may still just be working out technicalities to get into the game especially since it was advertised as an addition to the game. I wouldn’t be surprised if we got it into the game on an upcoming patch
True, that or in silent patch.
Every flag in Overwatch is related to at least one map or hero.
We don’t have a polish map or hero YET.

Nah, they added multiple flags unrelated to anything in OW this event, I’d love what you’re saying to be true, but it most likely isn’t xd

Don’t remember any hero or map from Argentina or Romania

No clue. Probably some legal thing

And this is what i am talking about… short, clear answer from devs or CM team… long we have waited, but there it is finally… communication
So its legal issue
OK, now we know it… they have problems with copyrighting it because it was seen by copyright lawyer as too simmilar to orginal flag…
Because it is public asset and it cant be ‘copywrited’ they simply have to change it so they can use it and protect it as part of overwatch
Looking at Austria or Argentina flags they are not going to do ‘least effort’ and art team will include very important detail (eagle) … this is something worthy of mentioning … it should be included (!!) and what happened now gives me hope that they are really trying to do best they can
What we can deduce is that they will modify official colour and eage to such degree that they will be able to copywright it… as a ovrrwatch asset…
I know a little bit about it, because i had private entrprise that used graphics so i had designs resembeling it, but obviously i couldnt copywright a national symbol
… blizz needs to protect their content, so they had to do it, but they want in this case to make it as simmilar to our symbol as possible, so we could relate to it
…
This increased my respect to their team… but theres too litte COMMUNICATION with us… short answer from Jeff or anyone just made it clear and we could avoid all of this
