We are never getting a Melbourne map in Overwatch

how Australians see Australia; how the rest of the world sees australia
Overview
This two-panel comparison meme humorously contrasts local vs global perceptions of Australian geography. The left panel is labeled 'how Australians see Australia' and features a full, detailed, geographically accurate map of the entire Australian continent, with all regions, cities, and surrounding bodies of water clearly marked. The right panel is labeled 'how the rest of the world sees Australia' and depicts almost the entire Australian continent as empty ocean, with only a tiny strip of the east coast visible, only labeled with the city of Sydney. The meme's title jokes that the video game Overwatch will never receive a map set in the major Australian city of Melbourne, playing on the punchline that global game developers (like most people outside Australia) are only aware of a tiny portion of Australian geography, so they would never consider creating content set in lesser-known (to global audiences) Australian cities like Melbourne.
Origin notes
This meme originates from the Reddit r/Meme subreddit, distributed via an RSS feed. It leverages a widely used two-panel perception comparison meme format to comment on a common grievance among Overwatch video game fans who have requested a map set in the Australian city of Melbourne, which has never been added to the game.
