FuturLab laid off seven developers after canceling a power-washer-free project for cost reasons; reports allege managers were kept out of the loop to avoid guilt, and staff were told not to use the word redundancy and to refer to those let go as 'the leavers,' prompting criticism of handling layoffs in the games industry.
Overwatch 2 casual players are frustrated with leavers ruining their non-competitive games. A Redditor suggested a quality-of-life fix where the replacement player spawns in with the ultimate percentage of the person who left. This would address the significant disadvantage faced by non-competitive teams and could also benefit unintentional disconnects in ranked play. Many fans supported this change and hope that Blizzard will consider implementing it in a future patch.
