AI tool with the same name as a game where a robot uprising is one of the main backstories seems like it could be a bit problematic...

Haha! It's also an SEO nightmare. The term Overwatch is a force protection tactic, where you have one team providing extra assistance and cover to the main operation. If only we had played the game first before naming ourselves!
Use case: Overwatch to track Overwatch (Blizzard) boosting, account, and cheats black market.
should have at least named it Overwatch 3 to get some SEO benefits
Ha! Damn, missed a trick there.
Isn't Dota 2's anti-cheat system called Overwatch? If Blizzard didn't go after that, they aren't going to care about this.
Valve used the name Overwatch since 2013 (before Blizzard) for their player-run jury system for cheaters.
