“Please give me Ana; I need her for the gum test”, I type into the abyss that is Overwatch 2’s game chat. It’s 2am, and I still haven’t finished my very scientific and complicated experiment to find if gaming gum improves my performance.
“Just pick another character”, the hero stealer types. How could I pick another character? That would obliterate the integrity of my scientific experiment. No, I need the same hero; the same game mode, at the same time of day, and playing with the same people to ensure that the best possible information is found. That’s why I dragged my mate, who decided to join me on this endeavour, into staying up this late. Despite protests, I conclude that we’ll just lose this match and play another.
