10 Lies About Famous Video Games You Probably Believe

10. Mercy Created Reaper - Overwatch

The so-called "Mandela Effect" sure is wild, huh?

It's a phenomenon whereby large groups of people all collectively mis-remember a fact, and even upon learning the truth, typically express skepticism that they've really been wrong all this time.

The Mandela Effect isn't terribly common in video games, though a major case of it occurred following the release of hit FPS Overwatch.

Many fans still insist to this day that, while in the game's waiting area, the character Mercy will speak a line of dialogue which implies she was the creator of Reaper ("This isn't what I intended for you, Reyes.")

For years, fans have taken to social media to proclaim that they remember hearing the line in-game, which would suggest that Mercy isn't quite the hero everyone believes her to be.

Blizzard's official response is that the line never existed in the game, though that hasn't stopped fans committing to conspiracy theories about the developer quietly removing the line and attempting to cover up their mistake with a blanket refusal.
