AlisLandale 05/31/20 11:12:46 PM #9:	If it was a planned skin or coming soon, I could see merit in delaying it until this passes over. But I wouldnt remove content from the game thats already there. Im not a fan of the American police force/culture, but fictional characters are...well...fictional. if they want to disable it for a few months I could sorta see that, but they should compensate anyone with the skin with a few loot boxes or something idk. --- https://imgur.com/mptS9Qj <cite>AlisLandale posted [p:940007119] in Overwatch:...
