Overwatch Team Renaming McCree

The sexual harassment allegations within the company with Jesse McCree's name being derived from a developer at Blizzard who was allegedly involved in such activity.

Official Statement:

The vast majority of players were likely unaware that McCree was named after a potentially problematic developer, so this statement seems to be aimed at the media as a form of virtue signaling.

Lore-wise, the name change should be an easy sell to players. McCree is an outlaw after all and using a fake name is part of that lifestyle.

A narrative arc for September was planned with McCree playing a key part, but that has since been delayed to later this year. In the meantime a new FFA map will be released in September instead.
