Do you use a mouse and keyboard when you play Overwatch? If so then Blizzard do not approve of you doing this.
Whilst Blizzard hasn’t actually banned anyone who uses a mouse and keyboard Blizzard director Jeff Kaplan has issued quite a lengthy post about the subject.
“The Overwatch team objects to the use of mouse and keyboard on console,”
“We have contacted both first-party console manufacturers and expressed our concern about the use of mouse and keyboard and input conversion devices.”
“We have lobbied and will continue to lobby for first-party console manufacturers to either: Disallow mouse and keyboard and input conversion devices OR Openly and easily support mouse and keyboard for ALL players.
“I encourage you to reach out to the hardware manufacturers and express your concerns (but please do so in a productive and respectful way).”
Whilst it’s always been a long argument between console and PC gamers as to which peripheral is the better it is safe to say that Blizzard would rather you stick to your Xbox One pad
What do you think of this news? Do you play with a mouse and keyboard? Are Blizzard being unfair?
Let me know what you think.
