Does the game is woke?

[Jesse]

Simple question, but very serious

[master goose (insanity)]

Once upon a time, you'd get your account banned for saying things like "Free Hong Kong", which is a political opinion. June was Pride Month, so they had propaganda flags. They're allowed to preach their politics and you are not if you go against their narrative. Yeah, it's woke.

Professionals got banned for standing up for Hong Kong.

Players get banned for being upset about a teen game heavily pushing sexualities where it's a game and sexuality being discussed is highly questionable. People just want to play the game and maybe not have sex pushed in their face.

All they want is to win a game have a little fun and play with their friends. But blizzard is NOT okay with that. Conform or be banned.


You be the judge

Yes.

He's not. You can't even say gg ez. Overwatch 2 is the most highly sensitive game with the most hostile toxic players ever. You cannot joke on Overwatch 2 without facing a ban. Nor can you have gripes without facing a ban. Overwatch 2 is the most highly regulated, most highly watched, and most highly combative against its player base.

They hate banter and they hate anyone having fun.

The player base is extremely combative if you aren't 100% with them.

You'll get banned for doing helpful team winning call outs if the preformed friend team doesn't like you. All they have to do is be in a bad mood. Thats the reason they are moving to Steam among many others.

They pissed off their whole player base and their only option left is to hope they can get new players on Steam that will deal with their abusive company practices

Look at how hostile their supporters are. If you download this game on August 10 they'll ban you for asking for team play from a group of friends who are toxic and want to report you for no reason.

Without team play you can't win a single game.

This game moved to Steam because Blizzard has no idea how to run a team game. And they also ruined the core gameplay by moving to 5v5.

I've never seen a more toxic community or company in my life.

Woke's a buzzword used by fascists to describe everything they don't like. Just remember: women being in video games is woke. The word means nothing, it's just nonsense these idiots spew forth to tell you they're there, and always watching.

It's blacklisted but not bannable, it'll just change your text message to something like "I could really use a hug right now." or "For glory and honor! Huzzah comrades!" and a few other things
it was honestly funny when they first added it tho.

[Slash]

A western game developer?
I mean is water wet?

[Wilgryf]

They started going woke back in OW1 now it's 100% corrupted by woke

[R-Gone]

It's not woke, it's just a mere coincidence there's more pride flags in the game than a San Fran cemetery

Fascist is a buzzword used by wokes to describe everything they don't like. Just remember: not having enough diversity boxes ticked in a video game is fascist. The word means nothing, it's just nonsense these idiots spew forth to tell you they're there, and always watching.

I mean, they made some changes to appeal to certain groups, but you can pretty much ignore them, except for the renaming of McCree, that was just dumb

Yeah, except if you were an employee who was sexually harassed by the employee named "McCree" that the name was derived from, and then had to work on Overwatch and see that name constantly and come up with content based on him... yeah.
