Blizzard is patrolling YouTube for toxic Overwatch players

by John_A

Toxic players are a big problem for the Overwatch team. As game director Jeff Kaplan explained in a developer update last September, they’re actually delaying maps and feature updates by forcing the developers to create measures to stem the tide of crappy player behavior. Those tactics seem to be working. In a new video, Kaplan reported that competitive play has less abuse and players are reporting more often. But the Overwatch team has gone further with at least one new proactive strategy: Find toxic behavior uploaded to ‘social media sites like YouTube’ and punish the accounts responsible.
