Comprometer is a verb, comprometida is an adjective, adjectives tell you the gender of the noun depending on its spelling, comprometida (female) comprometido (male), however, in spanish we dont have an "it" pronoun neither the word "the" which can be used on male/female/things, it is always male or female (el / la), things have a gender always, but... it is implied that things are genderless, such as bastion, or a protocol.

So basically the month long countdown just basically confirms that she'll be out in the VERY next patch. Cool Blizzard, I already knew a month ago that she would release by this year, thanks for finally confirming it! /s

I hope the next hero is just "announced" with some in game things, like a poster or newspaper article or files and stuff. Just things in the game world, no ARG, no countdowns no "something will happen when this get's to 100%! Never mind I lied!". Just something like Ana, a file in the game, some confusion, then bang! Out she comes. No expectations, no waiting around, no solving "clues" which lead to "wait for the next thing". Oh, and teas like weapons or something when you're close to release. Like Ana's gun.
Letting them know is fine but some people (here and elsewhere) are going postal (exaggerated obviously) when its not that big of a deal. Blizzards isn't going to say shit about something that people honestly aren't supposed to know about. That isn't how these things generally work. The ARG has bombed...no doubt. BUT they obviously had a plan that they are trying to follow because that's how business works; for better or for worse.

I don't even think the reaction people are having to being led around pointlessly by this fake-ass ARG advertising stunt is that bad. Surprise, people don't like being jerked around, and that's all this Sombra garbage has been for two months now, Blizzard's marketing team jerking people around. The response has been far from disproportionate.

Comprometida is also a verb being conjuged. Compremeter is just infinitive form. How can be "comprometido" and "comprometida" be two different words? Makes no sense.
I mean, I'll admit I speak brazilian portuguese and not spanish, but I think this is just plain wrong? As in, there's nothing even to disagree here. Word duality is a non-issue in spanish and is interpreted by context
lol, well, at least people can read it to interpret the spanish parts of the arg.
made an edit to the post to further explain. but comprometida is an adjective e.g. (la unidad bastion esta comprometida) in this case the verb is "esta", comprometida is an adjective (the bastion unit is/has been compromised)

Spanish grammar is the real endgame of the ARG
Sombra will reveal herself as soon as we're all fluent speakers.

I hope they'll learn to never do this again with a character. Or at least, make sure your countdowns dont lead to nothing and don't make these last for three months+
This has been a total shitshow.

Somba's ultimate is Spanish spelling lessons for heroes within 20m radius.
You heard it here first.

Then you would fail your spanish test, the "reflexive form" "se ha comprometido" is used for wedding-engagements-relationships.
If you use like you suggest "Ella ha sido comprometida" for wedding-engagements-relationships context, you would be implying that she is engaged against her will since "ha sido" means that action was done by other person. You have mixed-up your examples.
For wedding-engagements-relationships a native Spanish speaker will use:
- "Ella se ha comprometido" o "Ella se comprometió"
If a native Spanish speaker wants to say "compromised" then the correct way will be
- Ella ha sido comprometida" since like I said before the "ha sido" means that the action was executed/done by a third party and not the subject in question.

The next step in the ARG is to log into Duolingo and become 50% fluent in Spanish

I hope one of Sombra's voice lines is something like "Yo soy un autobus en la biblioteca"

I give up.
Dont care anymore until they announce her and then its most like just a "This is it? *sigh*".

Oops you're absolutely right. Still, adjectives take their gender from the subject they're attached too, so it's still "comprometida" and not "comprometido" like the other poster said

People just trying to piggy back on the hits for people looking for the slightest bit of info.
saw the blue check and i though they were someone important, sorry about that!
That tweet is nothing. That picture is one leaked week or two ago and put through photoshop for some hits.

I did mix up my examples then I guess. I am in the wrong on this. I don't know if we all use things differently but I asked people from Michoacan, Guerrero, and Tijuana and they agreed on "ella se ha comprometido"
(this conversation is more interesting than this ARG)

Wow now that you mention it I think you can even see how badly shopped it is. And the art is really low quality too
I hope they don't do this again either.
I really hope Jeff or somebody at the Overwatch team addresses the ARG after Sombra's release. Because this is an utter shit show.

I mean, we learned things like... she is a hacker... ¯\_(ツ_/¯
With really slow upload speeds.

Maybe she was uploading a zettabyte of information? lol
Faceit was the tournament organizer for the Overwatch Open I'm pretty sure.

We know she's definitely a hacker, she get's bored easily and may have been a stripper at some point. The amount of leading people on and teasing this girl does, she definitely may have been a pro at it.

That would be crazy stupid. So a game got an announcement of a release 1 year out.
Why should that have any impact or a new character for an existing franchise.
At this point, I'm more willing to bet that the ARG team gets an Xmas bonus based on the number of website hits they get.
RDR2 announcement hardly impacts OW community and their thirst for new permanent content. RDR2 announcement didn't make them cancel anything.
Red Dead 2 is stealing all the attention right now. Could be Blizzard wants as much eyes on Sombra as possible when she's announced. It is stupid but I'm just trying to make sense as to why they would fucking give us the biggest blue balls.

We're all trying to find the logic behind it. But I don't think there is anything to really find.
It's a bad ARG at this point. All there really is to it.
Considering how this thread imploded, Reddit is imploding and official Blizz forums are imploding because this long countdown result in absolutely nothing I would say there were plenty of eyes on this. Blizz are just running ARG without having single clue about what they are doing with it.
