There has been a lot of talk since the end of the last competitive season of Overwatch about “toxic players.” As a matter of fact, director Jeff Kaplan posted a long message about the rules and changes that Blizzard is implementing to stop the toxic players from poisoning the entire gaming experience for everyone else.
Toxic Players Limiting Features
Now, it turns out that Overwatch might have more new features if it wasn’t for the toxic players that are making the game sour for everyone. Cinema Blend reports that Kaplan said that Blizzard is forced to do so much to stop and punish toxic players that they don’t have the time to create new features.
Kaplan said that Blizzard is in a weird position where they are spending “tremendous” amounts of time punishing people and trying to make everyone behave themselves in Overwatch that they don’t have time for anything else.
