Yeah, the meme's people have built around them are certainly something, D'Va being something of a cross between Himouto! Umaru-chan with no-scope doritos gamer tropes.



Then there's the overwatch porn...

its 90$ in Australia, I think its possible to get a less complete version for 80 or something

[Slowminder]

Anyway, at this point even 60$ for this amount of content is too much (still better then EA with their Battlefront). I want to praise Rockstar and CD Project Red once again for that shitload of content they've put in GTA5 and Witcher 3 for its coin.

Companies should optimize their marketing expenses. Too much ads, too many promises, a little of content for the same 60 bucks.

dont praise rockstar

[Mittens]

I was expecting overwatch to be free to play, since TF2 is free and people seem really keen on pitting the two games against each other

If anyone is interested I wrote about Overwatch's design and about how the classes from TF2 relate to it's heroes: http://www.gamasutra.com/blogs/ArthurCanziZeferino/20160623/275298/The_Influences_and_Differences_of_Team_Fortress_2_Classes_and_Overwatch_Heroes.php

In PS store there is only 60$ version. In my local game shops it's also 60$. I guess you're talking about PC release.

overwatch 게구리

people accused her of hacking (cheating)and harassed for being a girl and she's playing live to show the truth.. Seems to have been a big issue in korean overwatch community .
So she played live.

she is using a mask because she  doesn't want her irl life to be affected.

 

[gimymblert]

oh! that was some mad skill live I had just seen imho

overwatch 게구리

people accused her of hacking (cheating)and harassed for being a girl

The sources I've read said she was accused because she's just damn good, not because of her vagina. The harassement allegations are also news to me. (Unless you use the Sarkeesian' definition of harassement).

[gimymblert]

That only make her the second pro player to receive death threats, so much that 2 pro player have definitively left the competition when proven wrong (they made a death threats but leaving where their choice). Too bad those two cases where women by pure luck, if a third case happen we will know it's a pattern. And I'm only restricting the sample to those who became big news. Wait and see!

[ｂ∀ ｋｋｕｓａ]

checked some source:

so 개구리  is a 17year old girl gamer  with a 80% win rate.
player Strobe and his team accused her of cheating and request a proof within a month otherwise they'd come find her home with a knife.

He apologized for the incident after the video lol but well it was still  a death threat.




Competitive gaming is big in korea so death threats should have been happening way more oftenly, so the fact that she is a girl is probably something to consider. 
edit:  여성혐오 misogyny was a  used word for this incident.

[zilluss]

Death threats are not harassement. They are death threats. But I'm being petty, point taken (no sarcasm).

[ｂ∀ ｋｋｕｓａ]

yep shouldn't have used that word, had to check the definition lol.
