Overwatch – Posting on Forums Can be ‘Scary’ & ‘Intimidating’ for Developers According to Kaplan

According to Jeff Kaplan, posting on the Overwatch community forum can be scary and intimidating for developers. He alludes to members of his team who have been “personally attacked and intimidated” by players fans. While the OW team appreciates the enthusiasm, it can be a frightening experience for devs when they are constantly concerned about ‘saying the wrong thing’. Game forums are not a “safe environment” for open communication due to harassment and out of context interpretation.
