Makes me wish Blizzard had done a better job with this game… it has some really good queer representation.

Honestly as far as queer representation, I think Overwatch hasn't... really done all that well... until very recently at least.
Tracer and Soldier 76's reveals were more shoved into a comic that was banned in a couple countries and a short story.
They didn't start actually being open about the sexuality of the characters beyond that until recently because back in January they left the Chinese market entirely, and last year after the Russia sanctions they also stopped marketing the game entirely in Russia.
This is in comparison to other games at least... Apex Legends has multiple LGBT characters.
Genuinely wish Blizzard had left the chinese and russian markets much sooner.
Yeah that’s fair. I saw their Pride YouTube thing and I thought it was pretty good but I guess it wasn’t exactly representative.
