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!

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.
