Couple shares heartwarming story of how they met through Overwatch It\u2019s no secret that team-based games like Overwatch can get toxic from time to time \u2013 but for one couple, the game brought about a meeting that would change their lives for the better. Reddit user \u201cYou-Done\u201d posted a heartwarming story to the Overwatch subreddit on October 31, explaining how she met her husband through the team-based first-person shooter. Her tale began after a breakup with a previous partner, during which she drowned her sorrows in Competitive (we feel you, girl). Also being rather smitten by McCree (again, understandable \u2013 look at that stache), You-Done joined the Twitch community of a popular fan artist, where she met \u201ca man\u201d that she described as \u201ckind and funny, and he, too, liked Overwatch.\u201d The two quickly hit it off and began to play Overwatch together \u2013 and, while their story might seem like a gamer\u2019s fairy tale, not everything was perfect, thanks to the major distance between them. 600With You-Done hailing from Germany and the object of her affections living in Australia, getting together for games proved to be a bit of a challenge \u2013 but she didn\u2019t let time zones get in their way. \u201c\u2026the nine hours time difference made our gaming sessions difficult,\u201d You-Done admitted. \u201cBut we had our priorities set. We would from then on play Overwatch together every weekend, for months. Due to timezones we\u2019d often only stop when it was crack of dawn for one of us.\u201d 600Then, a golden opportunity came for the couple: You-Done discovered she had annual leave for work, and took the paid time off to visit her amour for three weeks, which she claimed were nothing short of \u201cmagical.\u201d \u201cAfter those three weeks we had to make a decision \u2013 it was all or nothing for us,\u201d she explained. \u201cAnd we went ALL IN. My husband handed in his notice, packed a single suitcase, and came to live with me in Germany.\u201d 600The two got married in August 2018 and, a year later, welcomed their first child \u2013 a joyous development that, in retrospect, was all thanks to Overwatch and the gutsy decision of two star-crossed gamers. 600As You-Done says, \u201cSometimes fate hits you hard, and suddenly,\u201d marking a happy ending to a heartwarming love story.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
