@BrendanStock @Waveyugc Huge! Congrats man!

So we did a thing…

First W of the Season

There's more to say on this from a copyright perspective, but that's a conversation for another time. To anyone who buys these skins/companions, that will be 20% more v-bucks please 🤑

If Epic starts using AI to create concepts when designing new IP I think that's problematic and will lead to a blander game. But pulling characters that have already been validated by the culture feels less concerning.

I'm seeing a lot of people frustrated with Epic's decision to add Tung Tung and Ballerina to Fortnite. On one hand I understand the sentiment as to why people are upset with this, but here's the nuance most people are missing.

Missed this last week because of GDC/SXSW, but thanks for the shout out!

@ohmygrace Amazing and very well deserved!

Oh look! I did a thing! 💚✨

While the rebrand was packaged as a marketing gimmick it was actually a savvy way for Blizzard to mitigate potential exposure that could have come up. Now I think there still could have been a case to be made that Blizzard was still liable for some kind of claim, it would just be more of an uphill battle given all the steps they took to distance OW2 from OW1. Now that characters are no longer gated behind paywalls there's no reason to keep the 2 and they can go back to calling it just Overwatch which everyone was already doing anyways 😉

I'm sure Blizzard spotted the potential legal exposure and tried to insulate themselves by launching the new monetization model under Overwatch 2. Technically a new game. This gives them a defense. "We only said all characters in Overwatch 1 would be free forever, we never said anything about Overwatch 2" 🛡️

The real reason Overwatch was renamed Overwatch 2 wasn't because of a marketing gimmick, it was actually to insulate Blizzard from legal liability 🧠⬇️

At Blizzcon they should announce Overwatch 3 with PvE
