Meet Cole Cassidy.

...Which honestly sounds like a really generic, offbrand cowboy name, but whatever, it is what it is, I guess.

Did they also change his model? Looks like they changed his skin color too.

In 5 years the story hasn't progressed much outside of the introduction and pre-quels. They could legit just say 'opps we said his name wrong.' and be fine.

So when official broadcasters make a slipup and call him McCree during a livestream, how much are they going to be docked in pay?

That's not the goal. The intention is more, "Let's not pay tribute to this person who's clearly an asshole."

In case it wasn't obvious, they named the character after him well before the accusations came out.

No the goal is "Please keep giving us money and ignore all that other dirty shit we're doing here, we changed his name even through the character is not the person, here we censored WOW some more to be down with the cause, please please oh please ignore that we haven't actually changed at all and we're just hoping your stupid enough to accept these meaningless insultingly pandering trinkets you didn't ask for instead of actual accountability!"

They can go to hell I'm amazed these fuckers haven't been bankrupted yet.

Though in fairness, Overwatch isn't my thing

Cool characters but I'm just not into arena games

It's been established for a while already through certain in-game exchanges with Sombra that his name wasn't actually McCree.

Sounds like they knew the real life McCree was a piece of shit for a while and they were waiting for the other shoe to drop.
