Friday news, part two:
Overwatch's McCree is being renamed
https://www.pcgamer.com/uk/overwatchs-mccree-is-being-renamed/
Earlier this month, Diablo 4 lead level designer Jesse McCree was dismissed from Blizzard when his involvement in the now infamous "Cosby Suite" group chats came to light after the company was sued over allegations of widespread sexual harassment and discrimination. For that reason, some Overwatch casters stopped using the name of the Overwatch character McCree, who was named after the former Blizzard employee, while a large segment of the player base demanded that the name be changed.
Today, Blizzard announced that it will rename McCree.
>> They've also announced that they'll no longer name characters after real people.

For the Overwatch article:
People at Blizzard are idiots
For the Halo article:
I'll give it a go on Gamepass but I get the feeling it will be a train wreck. 343 had a chance to redeem themselves instead they chose to skip and give a nonsense excuse. We will see though. No one should be pre-ordering Halo Infinite though until reviews come out.
