“And she learned that people were just as easily manipulated. Now she understood how the world worked – information is power. So she kept hacking: politicians, corporations, governments…It was an addiction.

Mainly doing this for myself but here’s a list of the major companies and corporations – along with a description, a list of people affiliated with them, those who oppose them, and reasons why you should be suspicious of them – for resource purposes. I have tried to limit speculation to only the major ideas or theories, so the majority of this is just straight facts or descriptions.
[Why]: If you’re a fan of Overwatch’s storytelling, characters, or world-building, understanding the companies and corporations that make up the fictional world is, quite frankly, the most important aspect aside from understanding the organization of Overwatch itself. Almost every major company has a connection to a playable character in some way, and many have ties to the much larger story being told about a massive conspiracy and secret “group” trying to control the world.
This is not a comprehensive list, but hopefully should be a major starting point. All companies and corporations are listed in alphabetical order…
