Om det är något vi gillar Overwatch för (förutom att det är ett fenomenalt kul spel) så är det världen det utspelar sig i. Denna färgglada värld fylld med intressanta karaktärer och rolig lore är något vi kan tacka bland andra Michael Chu för. Därför är det extra sorgligt att nu kunna rapportera att Michael Chu efter 20 år nu lämnar Blizzard. Michael skriver:
"Overwatch has been a life-changing experience. I have always felt that games and the stories they tell have the unique ability to bring people closer together, and that the empathy you feel from stepping into someone else's shoes, even virtually, can bridge the gap between miles, cultures, and nations. Overwatch and its consistently generous and inspiring community have only reinforced that belief. I've heard stories of people learning a new language after hearing a line of dialogue, people feeling inspired to take a trip to a new place after "visiting" it in-game, and people meeting teammates across languages and borders to take up the cause of making our world a better place. But most of all: again and again, of people empathizing with a story about someone who is not the same as them.
Now, as I head out through the Blizzard doors for a last time, I have new dreams: to continue to tell these stories and build worlds that unite people through games. To help create an inclusive world where more people will want to share stories that reflect their own experiences. I hope it's something we can build together."
Tråkigt, givetvis. Vi på Gamereactor önskar honom all lycka till i framtiden och hoppas på ännu fler världar att kunna gotta ner oss i.
Sörjer du Michael Chus avgång?
"Hej då, pappa Michael!"
