It’s not often that real-world events can affect a game’s world, but that is exactly what is happening over at Blizzard. Given the recent turmoil at the company because of the lawsuits, alleged abuse, and firings, Blizzard is renaming the Overwatch hero McCree because of his namesake. Blizzard is even going to avoid naming any of its future characters after real-world people.
Jesse McCree, the cowboy hero that’s been in the online multiplayer game since its launch, was named after the Blizzard lead designer of the same name. As stated in a Wired video, the team chose that name after failing to come up with something else that stuck. But that real-life McCree was recently part of the multiple allegations leveled at Blizzard. McCree appeared in the infamous “Cosby Suite” image along with other people from company accused of different forms of misconduct. He was let go in early August.

Given the negative connotations of the name, players were asking Blizzard to change the hero’s name. Overwatch League casters even started using aliases to describe the cowboy when commentating.
