So, there is a bit more gray area than I think a lot of goons are giving credit for. Like it or not Blizzard isn't selling you a piece of privately-owned software to do with whatever you want, they're selling you a license to use a piece of software within the terms they set out. Whether or not that ought to be the way things are is a long and probably ultimately unresolvable debate that would be better served in another thread, but if we're going to discuss things in terms of fairness and rights then people busted for cheating in Overwatch don't have a leg to stand on because the terms and conditions of use have been made abundantly clear and they've chosen to ignore them anyway.

I figure there's gotta be a Rio map eventually, given Lucio and Symmetra's story connection there. The Olympic tie-in would be a cute way to debut it. If those cards will be character skins, that's cool, although I kinda hope it's just for those three and that not everyone's upcoming legendaries are sports-themed.

Veks posted:What do you think of these? Fake or not? I hope they're real. Those look great. Wonder if everyone gets an event? Genji gets men's acrobatics, Hanzo gets archery, Pharah gets pole-vaulting, and Winston gets the long jump. 76 is a coach, Mercy is the field EMS, Ana is the supportive Mom in the crowd, and Reaper gets the gold in figure skating(his pirouette is amazing).

If they're real I just hope that some of them are goofy like putting McCree in a silly equestrian outfit.

Actually they're probably real because they don't use the word "Olympics" or any of the actual logos (they'll sue the poo poo out of you if you do so without paying them a zillion dollars to sponsor it). The fact that they look like knock-offs make it more believable to me thag an actual company made it.

What is wrong with competitive? I've constantly gone up to 47 twice and then every match I play after that I constantly lose down to 37.

That's a pretty limited window of opportunity too assuming these things go on sale later today, just 20 days to grind out as much as you can or succumb to the temptation to pay real-world money for virtual outfits for video game characters.

So does that mean that the "normal lootboxes" in-game will be automatically switched to olympic lootboxes for that time period?

There's a reason you have to be an adult to play pokies or enter a casino I'm a bit put off by the idea that you can grind for this stuff in-game. I'd just want to get back to the Overwatch gambling, and it's currently pointless with normal loot boxes since I have more in-game currency than stuff that I'd actually want to buy. But maybe I'll end up buying these olympic loot boxes too, as long as the skins aren't too common
