Overwatch\u2019s Jesse McCree now goes by a new alias. After the former Activision-Blizzard employee the character was named after was involved in a discussion about the now-notorious \u201cCosby Suite,\u201d players demanded for the hero\u2019s name to also be changed. The developers promised to do it in August 2021, and finally on October 22 they confirmed the new name for the cowboy hero: Cole Cassidy. However, players have had mixed reactions to the name they chose, including xQc, who poked fun at it on stream. Meet Cole Cassidy.

He also predicted the new name would be \u201cterrible\u201d and it would be \u201cimpossible\u201d for people to love it \u2014 regardless of what Blizzard chose.
