  • RevanRen_ Ren (@RevanRen_) reported

    @rosecloverrr @SFShock @SF_Shockwaves Well why tho? Blizzard overwatch is not the group in trouble and has those accusations, that’s all involving the other team in charge of cod’s and wow not overwatch, Breaking the contract because of another group under a different name has done wouldn’t help or change anything

  • BannedLULW BackFromTheGrave (@BannedLULW) reported

    @Wowhead They should focus more on trying to fix 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

  • 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

  • GhostieWitch 🤍🖤💀Gothy Senpai💀🖤🤍 (@GhostieWitch) reported

    @ATVI_AB @Blizzard_Ent its not the game content that was the issue. Its the quality of your games and how you treat people. You arent sorry about anything besides the money loss you are about to have. Im sorry, but as much as i loved overwatch, i cannot support your next game till i see the change.

  • GiCatlin Gia Catlin (@GiCatlin) reported

    @strtdvdsn I have the same problem 😟 I used to play mostly single-player games, but then I got into Overwatch. It's so difficult to get back into them now because I find that I get bored quickly.

  • AzureStrikerRai Lovable Scrunko (@AzureStrikerRai) reported

    What Blizzard game should I play? Overwatch? Call of Duty? Crash? #ActiBlizzWalkout

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Liquios1 Liquios (@Liquios1) reported

    @ZaroOCE @HoshizoraOW Apparently the Dev team of Overwatch didn't had any issues.

  • MorgluxiaXII Morgluxia🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 (@MorgluxiaXII) reported

    Even if there weren't a strike happening, it's still a good idea to stop playing Actiblizz games. Overwatch is a gambling app, Call of Duty's playerbase is beyond toxic, and they're not afraid to load a game like Crash Racing with microtransactions only after it gets good reviews

  • 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

  • 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.

  • haloofthoughts Arran “Halo” Spake (@haloofthoughts) reported

    @LotharHS I think it’s an issue for some us of because there is a large number of players that have come from the Overwatch pro scenes and seen that nearly completely collapse because the support wasn’t there. I agree with what your saying but smaller ignition type series would help

  • CaptainMangDiaz MicDiazMangRing #BeothricisComing (@CaptainMangDiaz) reported

    You know? Due to the Activision and Blizzard problems, do you think that Lego may drop out of the Lego Overwatch deal?

  • 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.

  • _Solavian Jacob Hall (@_Solavian) reported

    @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.

  • AriaCallaghan Aria Callaghan (@AriaCallaghan) reported

    hey i have a cute bag but the problem is it has the overwatch logo on it, is there a safe way to remove printed stuff from faux leather?

  • 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...

  • 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

  • BannedLULW BackFromTheGrave (@BannedLULW) reported

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

  • Ewesson_ow Ewesson (@Ewesson_ow) reported

    Small thread about OW ranked : I think 2-2-2 needs to be removed from soloQ Overwatch even tho it's not the competitive format. The problem with 2-2-2 beyond Q times is that there just are not enough dedicated tank players that play that game at such a high enough level 1/x

  • 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.

  • loppyjamas Loppy (@loppyjamas) reported

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

  • Tw1stedMK Twisted (@Tw1stedMK) reported

    @rosecloverrr @SFShock @SF_Shockwaves Blizzard overwatch isn’t the issue, and u don’t understand the complications it would cause to do that

  • 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.

  • BannedLULW BackFromTheGrave (@BannedLULW) reported

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

  • RiverPlatypus River 🇨🇦 ♠ (@RiverPlatypus) reported

    Side note, now I don't feel the need to fix my driver issues. Overwatch was the only thing that worked better on Linux than Windows, but drivers aren't working on either right now (Nvidia on Linux, left and middle clicks on Windows).

  • bubberboys Rufus CrumpleDunkulus (@bubberboys) reported

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