    @Noah73069835 @artemiis19 It's about having paid for it. It's about supporting the employees by not playing, therefore showing Blizzard where we stand. The problem isn't with the Overwatch team, it's with Blizzard.

  • bubberboys Rufus CrumpleDunkulus (@bubberboys) reported

    @DaftLimmy Knowing the overwatch community, this is a service. Our tax dollars should go toward pissing off nerds

  • TheNomadEric NomadEric (@TheNomadEric) reported

    @KingMarlexia Heroes of the storm years ago. Star craft is played by try hards and toxic Scum mostly already so or course they won't leave, they don't see a problem in what's going on. The only community that is harmed is overwatch and quite frankly the Scum of starcraft was-

  • BannedLULW BackFromTheGrave (@BannedLULW) reported

    @Wowhead They should focus more on trying to fix Overwatch

  • M0NKEMAX Max (@M0NKEMAX) reported

    @Sporky___ Played Overwatch for a year now and the worst I have heard in a Platinum comp game was “your mom is a fat ***” so at least from my end nothing like that is happening. It sounds like it may be an issue with other people but I don’t think it’s as big as people present it to be.

  • BannedLULW BackFromTheGrave (@BannedLULW) reported

    @ATVI_AB @Activision Don’t give a **** fix Overwatch and delete bap from the game

  • sukunalvrs mari 💭 (@sukunalvrs) reported

    @rocketsquire also, this is a great example as to why saying “well overwatch isn’t rlly part of the blizzard problem” is a huge yikes

  • CosmicBurn CosmicBurn (@CosmicBurn) reported

    @Jouvert__ I’m playing overwatch I’m sorry I can’t stop it’s a problem

  • TheCalamariCrew TheCalamariCrew (@TheCalamariCrew) reported

    Internet problem on first game of Overwatch of the day. Now I can't log back in. Go **** yourself @Blizzard_Ent seriously. It's getting annoying

  • lurkydurkie collin (@lurkydurkie) reported

    @dahliabunni i love crash and spyro and i did briefly enjoy my time with overwatch, but i really cant overlook people actually dying because of this. if i wanna play them, i'll just pirate

  • loppyjamas Loppy (@loppyjamas) reported

    @itsyaboyabz I think trouble with Overwatch 2 development is more likely

  • FlodotelitoKifo Flodo (@FlodotelitoKifo) reported

    @nyaarium oh that ain't a problem, I haven't played Overwatch since 2018 and I don't intend on revisiting it anytime soon

  • YunFuriku Yun Furiku (@YunFuriku) reported

    @JUSTINtime4aLAF Spyro and Crash bandicoot have nothing to do with this, I'm sorry to say. Only actual images relevant are the wow-one and overwatch tracer one.

  • CrowDeerDire ✨🌱Plant Witch Crow🌱✨ (@CrowDeerDire) reported

    I'm so ******* disappointed that a streamer I (once) looked up to is playing Overwatch today. Out of all the OW streamers I use to watch, I would have thought he would be one to support this issue.

  • PastaNevada Pasta Nevada (@PastaNevada) reported

    Still finishing my overlays after fixing my OBS issue. Might be streaming some Overwatch later to test it all out and see if the stream drops. Definitely will be streaming with @magganna tomorrow night for some golf and drinks!

  • lowpolylofi thomas (@lowpolylofi) reported

    @wrecksineffects Why r ppl acting like it's hard to give these up I have literally only ever played overwatch and crash once each and my life has been the better for it

  • RiotRaienHime icy_ann (Commissions CLOSED!)⚤🏳️‍🌈 (@RiotRaienHime) reported

    @kalycd I heard that the Overwatch team was not a part of the problem, but yeah either way unless there is real change I wouldn't apply. I've played Blizz games for so long, this just hurts so much.

  • JaredTheBC Jared (17) (@JaredTheBC) reported

    I support the #ActiBlizzWalkout As much as I love series like Crash, Spyro, Skylanders and Overwatch. The harassment that happend is not worth it

  • DonaldsaurusRex donaldsaurusrex (@DonaldsaurusRex) reported

    @JakeEddyCarp i’ve been conflicted on this. Probably will never go back to Overwatch, but I eventually need to beat Crash 4; I want to atleast support the fantastic, hard work Toys 4 Bob were able to do before being absorbed in the CoD dumpster.

  • raccoonqueen__ 🌗𝖊𝖑𝖆𝖎𝖓𝖊🌓 (@raccoonqueen__) reported

    ive been playing blizzard games for 15 years, so this **** hurrrtttts. i love overwatch so much, but i’m off it for the time being, and it sucks. it all sucks. the hk issue sucks, and i stuck around and now this all coming to light. i can’t even articulate how sad and angry

  • Breaker_Goat Breaker (@Breaker_Goat) reported

    @Polygon They’re gonna need to add a black, trans, AND disabled hero to Overwatch to fix this mess.

  • rilaOW rila (@rilaOW) reported

    @VIO13T_ANG31 @vice_rees a lot of us still love and want to play overwatch, but as a big streamer the least he could do is raise awareness on the issue and literally not play for 1 day

  • BannedLULW BackFromTheGrave (@BannedLULW) reported

    @ATVI_AB @Activision Don’t give a **** fix Overwatch and delete gap from the game

  • Dvann562 Davann (@Dvann562) reported

    I hardly login to my Battlenet. Don't remember the last time I played Diablo. I don't even take advantage of their sales that compete with Steam because it's the same game for the past 10+ years. Join me on Twitch tomorrow for some Overwatch.

  • VexChaotix Colby Brooks? (@VexChaotix) reported

    @JakeEddyCarp @nocontextcrash I understand not paying for any of these games but it certainly can't stop me from playing crash, spyro, or overwatch.

  • Gravity0666 🔞GravitationalWorks🔞 (@Gravity0666) reported

    @JoshGamnChannel Except Crash and Spyro are not originally an Activision property, you should instead avoid their officials titles like Overwatch, WoW, etc, but ok

  • AveragePikario Pikario (@AveragePikario) reported

    As of recently I've been REALLY wanting to stream, but, the only problem is that I usually would have streamed overwatch if I didn't know what to play... but the thing is that my opinions about the game have changed and I don't really want to play it anymore...

  • ILoveSterlin Sterling K (@ILoveSterlin) reported

    their groups. overwatch aim botters literally aim bot. not lag so people's abilities don't go off.

  • SkylerFoxy Skyler ❄️🦊 (@SkylerFoxy) reported

    Today is the #ActiBlizzWalkout - to stand with employees, please don't play any Activision or Blizzard games today, including games in these series: Overwatch World of Warcraft Starcraft Hearthstone Diablo Warcraft Heroes of the Storm Call of Duty Tony Hawk Spyro Crash Bandicoot

  • dieaanah diana (ง ื▿ ื)ว (@dieaanah) reported
