Jeff Kaplan from Overwatch has taken the time to respond in detail to some bizarre comments. You can see the result here.
What wouldn’t one give to have the developers read the comments on gaming magazines’ news, right? You could really tell the heads of Blizzard what’s on your mind, who “have anyway lost touch with their community”, right?
Well, exactly that happened now. Jeff Kaplan took the time at IGN to simply comment on a few remarks that have played out over weeks and months in the comment section of the site. Especially Kaplan’s reactions are grand, as he takes even the harshest insults with humor – but what choice does he have in front of the camera?
Here are a few translated examples:
“Nerf South Korea in the eSports area!” – “I don’t think it’s a matter of nerfing South Korea. We’d rather buff the rest of the world.”
“25 million sold games? I seriously doubt that Overwatch has sold more than 25 copies!” – “You may not believe in 25 million sold games, but I can put my hand in the fire for at least 3 sold copies of the game. We are very proud of that.”
“I want to see Junkrat in lingerie!” – “… alright, next comment!”
Anyone with a decent grasp of English should check out the full video; it’s quite entertaining:
What would you say to the developers of Overwatch if you could send them exactly one comment directly? Would you praise them or leave something disparaging?
Meanwhile, a first college offers scholarships to Overwatch female players.
