Sssssure. That works.
I honestly kind of thought they had just expressed the idea hoping everyone would forget they had said they'd change anything.

I get he's named after a fucko, but I think they can still use the name because who actually gives a shit since barely anyone associates that name with that asshole. But if you're going to change the name then why are we going with something that isn't as cool or inspired as the rest of the names? At least stick with a last name that's two syllables and flows easily.

They literally named the character that has one of the most annoying stuns in the game CC.

lmao

I think there was some voice quip from another character that already established his original name, or at least one of them

So their hands were a little tied for choice

I'm not close to it and would've been fine either way, but blizzard is absolutely cleaning house in all of their games, to the point that the wow forums/reddit/etc are crying to no end

You did indeed stab me in the back. However, you are only level one, whilst I am level 50. That means I should remain uninjured.

You mean him telling Sombra his name's not Joel?

It's tempting to linger in this moment, while every possibility still exists. But unless collapsed by an observer, they will never be more than possibilities.

I don't think his real name was ever said, but I think there were hints that "McCree" was an alias.

Like that. "Pleasure working with you McCree. If that is your real name..."

and yet naming him after a literal outlaw is a-ok

I was actually thinking the same thing. Like perhaps I don't understand the full extent of McCree's crimes, but isn't Cassidy the clear cut worse person?

My bracket looked like random picks compared to his.

If you were a Blizzard employee who suffered under his abuse would you want to continue working on what is essentially a monument to him

There are a lot of pirate characters to demonstrate that glorifying historical outlaws isn't very taboo at all. Even most emperors are okay if it's been long enough.

No one should want the old name to stick around. Blizzard is a long way from any sort of redemption but purging the garbage is still something that needs to be done.

Yeah, in my head it feels different. But, I'm not entirely sure the feeling is logical. Like Butch Cassidy is only around 130 years ago. That's not exactly that long ago in the grand scheme of things.

Based on what is known about Butch Cassidy I could actually see an argument that he was a more moral person than Jesse McCree is

In the grand scheme of things like what, the history of the entire universe? It's a long time in the context of a human lifespan.
