Overwatch’s McCree will be renamed Cole Cassidy next week

Overwatch’s fan-favourite cowboy character Jesse McCree finally has a new name after Activision Blizzard committed to changing it in the wake of California’s ongoing lawsuit alleging sexual harassment and a «frat boy» culture at the company. Henceforth, Jesse McCree will be known as Cole Cassidy.
McCree is just one of many characters across Blizzard’s portfolio to have taken his name from a developer at the company. However, back in August, Blizzard announced it would be renaming the cowboy after the real-life Jesse McCree, who had been named in several accounts of the studio’s toxic work culture, was confirmed to have departed the company amid the fallout from the lawsuit — although no reason for his exit was given.
Two months on, the official Overwatch Twitter feed has now revealed Cole Cassidy to be the new name for the sharp shooter formerly known as Jesse McCree, with the change set to occur in an update next Tuesday, 26th October.
Cole Cassidy rides into town on 26th October.
«The first thing a renegade loses is their name, and this one gave up his long ago,» Blizzard writes in the blurb accompanying the news. «Running from his past meant running from himself, and each passing year only widened the divide between who he had been and what he had become. But in every cowboy’s life, there comes a time when he has to stop and make a stand.»
«To make this new Overwatch better — to make things right — he had to be honest with his team and himself,» Blizzard continues. «The cowboy he was rode into the sunset, and Cole Cassidy face the world at dawn».
Cassidy isn’t the only Blizzard character to be renamed in light of the ongoing California lawsuit, of course. Blizzard previously confirmed it would be removing references to other former Blizzard employees from its titles, including nods to former Diablo 4 game director Luis Barriga and former World of Warcraft designer Jonathan LeCraft.
World of Warcraft fans recently also launched a protest demanding the removal of a quest-giver in Stormwind City named Field Marshal Afrasiabi — named after former senior creative director of World of Warcraft Alex Afrasiabi, who was fired from Blizzard in 2020 «for his misconduct in his treatment of other employees» following an internal investigation.
In a statement provided to The Washington Post this August, Blizzard pledged that, «Going forward, in-game characters will no longer be named after real employees and we will be more thoughtful and discerning about adding real world references in future Overwatch content.»
«This will help reinforce that we’re building a fictional universe that is unmistakably different from the real world and better illustrates that the creation of Overwatch is truly a team effort,» it continued. «Work on these updates is underway, and they are just a part of our ongoing commitment to honest reflection and making whatever changes are necessary to build a future worth fighting for. We know that actions speak louder than words, and we hope to show you our commitment to making Overwatch a better experience in-game and continue to make our team the best it can be.»
90,000 McCree is not guilty of anything. Why the Overwatch hero was renamed

The scandal over the inappropriate attitude towards women at Blizzard does not subside, and it has new victims.
This time the cowboy McCree was hurt — he was changed his name. We understand why this happened and what it means for the game community.
What happened?
The public’s favorite cowboy McCree has lost his name. Now his name is Cole Cassidy. nine0003
Why?
These are the consequences of a scandal involving systematic discrimination against women. The character Jesse McCree was named after one of Jesse McCree’s employees. Blizzard, already fired. No charges were brought against him specifically, but here he is in a photo from the so-called Cosby room. According to the investigation, World of Warcraft creative director Alex Afrasiabi molested Blizzard employees so often that it became an internal meme. He himself was not at all shy about this and on one of his business trips he hung a portrait of Bill Cosby, an actor convicted of rape, on the wall of his hotel room. Blizzard is trying to eliminate any references to the scandal in their games.
The official statement said that from now on, the authors will be more serious about the choice of character names and will try not to associate them with certain real people. nine0003
So McCree is now Cassidy? To be honest, I don’t care
There is no difference in the gameplay, the hero has remained the same. If we were talking about a nameless Counter-Strike fighter or even a Rainbow 6: Siege operative, hardly anyone would pay attention to this. But Overwatch is amazing precisely in the way the authors built the narrative in the most unsuitable online action movie for the development of dramaturgy. Each character is carefully crafted (a series of great cutscenes came in handy here), has a backstory, motives, and is in an uneasy relationship with other Overwatch agents. The main thing is that during the matches the fighters exchange barbs. For example, Ana overprotects her daughter Farah, and the dwarf Torbjorn, on the contrary, loves his automatic turret more than his own daughter Brigitte, which he constantly reminds everyone of right during the battle.

The McCree lines are now simply gone. They don’t call him McCree or Cassidy, they seem to have forgotten about him. The only verbal evidence that the hero is now called by a different name can be heard when the robot Echo transforms into him.
Is the game confused now? Is the hero named differently?
Yes. Some call it the old one, some call it the new one. Blizzard was even asked not to write complaints about those who continue to call the cowboy McCree — «it takes time to get used to.» But it’s not fatal. Moreover, there has already been exactly the same case, only it is not connected with a sexual scandal. Hamster in an armored ball was at one time called Hammond, and now his official name is Wrecking Ball. To this day, in chats he is called this way and that, and everyone perfectly understands who he is talking about. Slang in online games is born instantly, so the hamster has long been called simply Ball, regardless of the official name. nine0003
How is the community reacting?
Opinions are divided, but there is no big scandal.
Some say that Blizzard, like a teenager caught watching porn, shamefacedly clears the browser history. Others — that the developers did everything right and it is necessary once and for all to make it clear that discrimination against women is a serious crime and must be resisted in every possible way.
Blizzard’s position in this regard seems to us as cynical as possible. If the company’s management had a truly negative attitude towards harassment, they would have finished with it even before the trial. Overwatch 2, which is in development, already has a lot of problems, from extended deadlines to the dismissal of the head of the studio and the ideological mastermind of Overwatch, Jeffrey Kaplan. There will definitely be a cowboy in the sequel — and Blizzard is just playing it safe, protecting itself from any possible problems in advance. By the time the game is ready, the public will get used to the new name and it will be possible to calmly say “it’s high noon” without fear that someone will sue you.

3DNews Software News PlayStation McCree in Overwatch will be renamed to … The most interesting in the reviews
23.10.2021 [20:38], Evgeny Mirkin Blizzard Entertainment has announced McCree’s new name — starting October 26, this Overwatch character will be renamed Cole Cassidy. The change is due to the fact that due to internal proceedings, the lead designer of Diablo IV, Jesse McCree, left the company, after whom the hero was named. nine0003 «The first thing a renegade loses is his name, and this one gave up his a long time ago,» reads a post on Overwatch’s official Twitter page. — Running from his past meant running from himself, and every year the gap between who he was and who he became only widened.
Recently, Blizzard Entertainment decided to remove all references and secrets related to real-life studio developers. So, in Overwatch 2, the name of the pizzeria was changed, which previously referred to the former director of the project, Jeff Kaplan. This is due to the internal struggle of the company against discrimination and harassment.
Jesse McCree — along with Diablo IV director Luis Barriga and World of Warcraft senior designer Jonathan LeCraft — left Blizzard Entertainment this summer following a lawsuit filed by the Department of Employment and Housing Rights (DFEH) California. In it, Activision Blizzard was accused of failing to properly address reports of harassment and discrimination. nine0003 As a result of this, McCree’s character name will now be changed, as announced in August.
