Why aren’t we players/fans not allowed to have a bigger say on if Mccree needs a name change or not.
This is where fan forums need to be held with the developers & the biggest names in the community to have this sort of discussion.
Changing the name will make him a complete stranger to many people alike & changing the name will not remove the stain of the developer of blizzard who was named after him because scandals like sexual harrassment will never disappear from real life + the guy no longer works at Blizzard so this course of action against a fictional character is stupid to be honest.
Change your course Blizzard before you take the car off the cliff.

They explained exactly why in their post about it, which you have clearly read.
Sexual predators do not deserve to be honoured and Blizzard have 100% made the right choice here. Tough pill to swallow but it’s the best course of action.

Then delete the hero. He has been tainted from top to bottom. Changing the name does nothing. The community isn’t stupid mate.

I don’t know how it’s difficult to understand.
Cowboy was named after blizzard employee to honour said employee.
Employee turns out to be sexual predator.
Blizzard decides to rename Cowboy as to not honour/glorify the employee + remove association with known sexual predator.

It’s not difficult to understand, and it’s the right course of action because regardless of if 90% of the player base didn’t know he was named after a real life employee we now know. We all do.
They’ve made the right choice, suck it up.
like i just told you. The scandal will be in everyones mind for a very long time & as long the character remains then the history of his connection to the person will always be there so why is it still hard for you to accept that changing the name is irrelevant when the character itself has a dark history with the person? Mccree has been around since the game launched & that 90% will now remember this scandal for a very long time to come so the future of the hero is very bleak. just remove him altogether. he is nothing but a memory of that sexual predator despite his removal from blizzard.
i dont like it either but its their game and their artistic design. they can do whatever they want to with their licensed product. i can see why they are doing it and yea i kind of think it sucks but i am curious on how this is all gonna transpire. what he will sound like and IF they maybe rework him to a whole different hero. i am really curious on how this will all turn out
Why the hell does it matter.
Because they want your money, not your opinion, Karen.
The devs clearly think the community is that stupid, otherwise they wouldn’t do something so blatantly presented as virtue signaling. There are WAY bigger problems in the game than who McCree is named after lol.
I wonder when Blizzard is going to change the company name… Since Blizzard will forever be remembered as the gaming company where this was an accepted practice.
Next you are gonna tell me they won’t be releasing the Bill Cosby and Jeffrey Esptein characters. The woke left strikes again. /s
