Overwatch diversity tracker literally doesn't even have a column for trans or nonbinary on its data. The data is 100% percent broken down into man or woman, to have a nonbinary character you'd have to break their system. Which means its not a good system.

@OWAnonymous_ That's not the issue. People came back, thinking Overwatch 2 would be a brand new game, and people noticed Overwatch 2 was just an update of Overwatch 1. It doesn't matter if that's free to play or not. That's just pretty much the same game.

So Condemned's frame rates were awful, DBD failed to launch, Overwatch was being laggy and wasn't a horror game & the stream raid started before I could say thanks - wouldn't be one of my streams if there weren't 101 tech issues 😩 sorry! But thank you to everyone who hung out 💛

I have run into a problem when I stream Overwatch & use animaze/facerig. I have a good PC, but for some reason it will totally freeze my PC and I have to force shut it off. It only happens when streaming Overwatch.

@strawberrana @OWAnonymous_ If that is the point Im sure naming it what anon said instead of deluxe edition or Chapter 2 would bring more problems. The best option should’ve been Chapter 2 sorta like fortnite but blizzard being blizzard just wanted to make it overwatch 2 instead of chapter 2.

@TransSalamander Its also possible that overwatch came out as a response to the fact that so far in the history of basically all of blizzard that diversity was a major issue. The fact that this whole character maker thing exists is a good example of how they still likely default to cis white man

Overwatch 2 failed/will fail outside of the overwatch space because it was named overwatch 2, if it was called something like Overwatch: Retribution for example, people wont expect a whole overhaul of OW the game, and have a problem with the PVP beta being very similar

@Kir31na @skiesti_ At no point have I said anything to back up this narrative you're trying to create. I have said, and only said, that letting flaming get to you in Overwatch is a personal problem. The irony that you're trying to claim that I can't read. This is why you come off as high.

also this isn't specifically limited to overwatch since those characters were designed long before this tool existed and the tool developers were just using them as examples, it's more of a problem with actiblizz as a whole

@PlayOverwatch @Stylosa Man. It's been 6 years since Overwatch came out. We still see Mirror Match when playing Overwatch. You haven't completed the game properly in 6 years. On top of that, you add 2-3 things to the same game and try to sell it as Overwatch 2. What's your problem guys?

@LliamSwick @Gale_Adelade People were super hyped when it dropped because it was an opportunity to see what the future of Overwatch looks like. Issue is, not much changed from OW1 to 2. We shouldn't settle for mediocrity from Blizz at this point imo and what we've seen so far looks really mediocre.

@FunWithTreason @Wowhead Not diverse at all cost, just "naturally diverse", I mean in Overwatch universe it is not as big of a deal, not an obstacle. You have a literal Gorilla character, robots and such, so diverse Human chars, without tokenizing them, should not be a problem.

@IGN This was an issue they literally solved before 2016 before creating Casual Mode as a way to inconvenience players just because they wanted to copy Overwatch When they somehow didn't figure out that nobody ******* liked Overwatch's matchmaking system either

@bigbillyhc @StormFel @annafunk Mate... it's literally said in the article made by King idk but that ain't blizzard. It's being tested on overwatch. The OW team or any Blizzard team is not working on this. You say you read it but do you understand it?

@megabrenn @Flats_OW My issue is having people who can ONLY play mercy and can't flex onto other main supports(lucio or zen). It really hurts the overall overwatch experience when you have a character with such a low skill floor in the same game as widow or ball.

@puritikuma Never been into Overwatch, or any competitive multiplayer (I have no friends), but it still amazes me how this whole franchise seemed to crash an burn completely in like, a year.

The biggest problem with disruptive techs related laws is that, from what I have seen, d law makers make the corporations themselves audit/overwatch these tech! Sigh! Bcoz law makers themselves either are not educated enough to audit/overwatch these techs or funded by them only!

Biggest problem i run into with using Overwatch workshop to try it out is that if i want to make an ai in there that actually demonstrates real learning id spend a week coding because the farther you go the harder it gets if you use the in-game ui
