Blizzard to change beloved 'Overwatch' hero's name in wake of harassment lawsuit

McCree, a popular hero in Blizzard's team-based shooter "Overwatch," is getting renamed. The playable character was originally a nod to Jesse McCree, a game designer who no longer works at Blizzard in the wake of a California Department of Fair Employment and Housing lawsuit against its parent company, Activision Blizzard, alleging widespread sexual harassment and discrimination. Further, employees at Blizzard have told The Post that similar changes will soon be coming to "World of Warcraft," which contains several characters and one city named after multiple former Blizzard developers.
