Overwatch 2’s community manager Andy Belford has taken to the official forums to defend the game’s “support a streamer” promotion after backlash from the community.To promote the launch of the second Overwatch 2 beta, Blizzard has partnered with 150 streamers to give away an exclusive Brigitte skin.

Players will need to donate three subscriptions to any of the Twitch channels on the list, while they’re actively streaming Overwatch.

According to the announcement, Twitch will then provide a code, which can be redeemed for the skin on Battle.net.The event kicks off today (June 29) and lasts until July 20.

However, a lot of streamers aren’t happy, with many feeling excluded by the promotion which includes some of the biggest channels on Twitch and features some streamers who rarely play Overwatch.Rally to me!
