Overwatch is LIVE!
/Today Blizzard took the Overwatch servers live. OK, they took Overwatch live at 12:00 AM GMT on 05/24/2016, but that was like an hour ago here in Denver. And while I have not had a chance to actually step in the game, I did want to point out something interesting that I found on Eurogamer. Apparently in different parts of the world giant Overwatch action figures have appeared.
In Hollywood, CA twitter user RuzGofDi snapped photos of the Tracer box, Mamytwink found Genji in Paris,and @osevno snapped one of Pharah in Bexco, Busan.
And while these are awesome on their own, the thing I find the most entertaining is the "fine print" that can be found on the back of the boxes:
"While there is no physical or legal possibility to 'play' with the giant figures, you can play as 21 different heroes in Overwatch, releasing on the 24th of May, 12:00 GMT, on major consoles and PC. CHOKING HAZARD: It is impossible to choke on the figures due to their large size. However, choking during an actual Overwatch match is possible and may result in last-minute defeats, shame, embarrassment and public ridicule, courtesy of your peers. Prices and participation will not vary. The figures are priceless, and participation is not possible."
