Did Blizzard succeed?

bahahahahaha.
Has anyone ever succeeded in removing porn from the internet?
>>379840887
that was a nice marketing scheme
everybody knows ow porn is a huge part of the shilling
>>379840887
Well, it was pretty obvious that they really only cared about it potentially fucking them out of sales to begin with, so it's not like they kept it up. They did a decent job right out of the gate by DMCA'ing like crazy and having SFM animators' Patreon profiles suspended, but they took the foot off the gas pretty soon afterwards.
No, it was a double edged sword of PR. One it pleased the good goys who hate porn, like Australia, South Korea (a major seller for Blizz) and UK. While it also brought the fact there was porn being made regularly, which got them sales.

Who /smart/ here

Put it this way, they failed harder than Ken Levine trying to stop the Elizabeth porn for Bioshock Infinite
They did partially succeed, actually. All they went after were SFM artists and such who were using models and other resources taken from the game itself.
They managed to get most of them either off of Patreon or at least forced them into hiding what they're making, had one notable artist quit the scene, and caused a few others to start using fanmade models.
They did about as well as you could hope for.

You fap.
You're not smart

>but Blizzard had a good reason for trying
Which is? What reason do they have that others don't?
everything about the game is viral marketing bait

>actually coming and asking the internet to stop making porn of your waifu
seriously, the fuck did he think would happen
>>379840887
The only reason they even mentioned that was to draw attention to the abundance of Overwatch porn, you gullible idiot.

They were using Blizzard's assets to make it while profiting off of it, which is legitimately illegal, and search results were getting skewed towards throwing SFM porn up in image search and such when you looked up the game.

Just pretend that they are all porn stars

SFM were ripping their models directly and using them in porn. That's not abnormal. The problem was the porn arrived BEFORE the game and so typing "Overwatch" into Google and going to Images resulted in porn. Videos also resulted in porn.
It was done as a PR stunt and to make sure South Korea didn't flip it's shit. You do realise South Korea has a TOTAL porn ban, right? So had they seen Overwatch had loads of porn, they'd have classed it as illegal and they'd have lost sales. South Korea buys Blizz games cause of SC; theoretically anyway.
