>>3270492I'm honestly at the 'I'll just stay pessimistic until they do something nice' stage, which isn't admittedly isn't that much of a downgrade from before, just now I won't try to hope. It's just not worth it, better to focus on the little bits of good for other characters that I also care about(Or just headcanon furiously since it's not like Blizzard will advance the lore at any acceptable pace, too busy sucking off E-Sports players).
As far as XCOM goes though, I'm not sure who's worse to be honest. XCOM has the advantage of being objectively less of a political mess(What with their activities being explicitly sanctioned, whereas Overwatch ran Blackwatch and let them do whatever/hire whoever), but unlike Overwatch their 'improvements' were the more questionable(Having the option to rip limbs off healthy people to make MECs as well as inject AyyLmao straight into the veins), instead of a single Cyborg, Genji, upgraded to that degree, then Gabe's....existence. Plus the Slipstream disaster.
Of course then there's also EXALT/Talon who are both equally extreme, although Talon hides it better while EXALT just hid, period.
But when everything gets shut down, I don't know, Vahlen was responsible for creating SUPERAliens, but she on her own, while the various OW members are too 'noble' for that, although Jack and Ana do some questionable things, which is about the extent of that so far as we know.
To be honest, I'd absolutely play OverCOM if Blizz made if(Or I could just mod XCOM 2, that works too).
