Why did McCree's name get changed to Cassidy?

This isn’t a joke thread.

Jesse Mccree was the name of a dev at Blizzard, which is where the OW team got the inspiration for Cassidy’s old name.

That dev apparently did some bad stuff, so they changed the name to remove the association.

Apparently, blizzard is a zoo.

The real Jesse McCree was involved in some way with the Blizzard scandal.

Also you should Google for a more detailed version.

blizzard wanted to avoid politics, due to a staff member at blizzard screwed up

Alot of controvery around the name because the inspiration came from a blizzard employee which was accociated with the scandal.
