Will Overwatch come to the Switch? — "Anything is within the realm of possibility," he said. "Our team was given the task to work on this. If [Overwatch developer] Team 4 picks up that endeavour, that's on them. As of right now Diablo is our only focus on Switch." Asked if he thinks Overwatch could run on Switch, Stilwell said, "Yes, it is feasible." I never doubted that OW could run on Switch, I just don't think it will happen. Jeff Kaplan - 4 platforms .

Email from Chris — Hey RJS, first time long time, I wanted to write in about a conversation you brought up in Episode 217 regarding competitive gaming, the new Splatoon league, and Nintendo's historic lack of support. That Nintendo UK VS sounded like a bad production, and they need to improve that. I think their E3 Splatoon team is the level they should aim for. Also, I think you're 100% right that Nintendo is missing out by not making pro careers viable for Nintendo games. Having said that, I think we're all better off by Nintendo's lack of support in this area. By catering to a pro consumer, game developers necessarily must focus on appealing to the most toxic and obnoxious group of gamers. It's not a coincidence that Overwatch has a pro league and is also notorious for abuse experienced in the voice chat. It's also not a coincidence that the gender balance is way worse for Overwatch than for Splatoon. In conclusion, I hope that Nintendo continues to focus on gamers who play their games for fun rather than their livelihoods. Streamers like Ninja bring a lot of attention to games, but they already have a million other options to choose from. They also come with a huge amount of baggage that I'm more than happy to avoid. Sportsball sportsball I'ma hang up and lis'en, Chris (@aggrocrog in the Discord where I mostly lurk)
Question from @Random_GamerGuy on Twitter — Hey there buddy! (Awesome show by the way). I do have a question for you, but not sure it’s a show worthy discussion. Do game developers
