That seems like a really petty reason for a dethroning moment of suck looks like a very bad case of complaining.

I guess, but i had already low hope for the lore to be properly developed, so this just destroyed what was left. Anyway, is it still viable to go on the page?

Your entry does look like complaining. Why does he need to apologize for a very small mistake on a person's age?
Put it under Writers Cannot Do Math, which is exactly where it belongs.
This signature says something else when you aren't looking at it.
Whirl RX Because he's the lead writer. His job is to prevent this kind of blunder. Daefaroth According to him, the age was something he had forgotten to change when writing her bio. But can I put in the Videogames Dethroning Moment Of Suck page or not? Because for me, it's definite proof that the lore team doesn't care.

I say no. Mistakes happen. That doesn't mean they don't care.
"Oh no. a wrong number was entered on a website"
Seriously, that is astoundingly petty.
I know next to nothing about Overwatch and this still reads as embarrassingly petty.
If, as you say, that he wrote the lore, then the story was updated and he forgot to change a number in the lore before it was posted by presumably other people who likely already had the text ready to go, it doesn't seem like anything but a minor case of forgetfulness. But I guess if it ruins the game for you then it does, but you could rephrase the entry a bit to make it seem less complainy so that it doesn't attract flame from other fans of the game. I wouldn't know where to put it; I guess if you think it dethrones the game rather than the creator then it's your prerogative for it to go on the game page.
OH MY GOD; MY PARENTS ARE GARDENIIIIINNNNGGGGG!!!!!
It goes in Overwatch anyway.

What would be the problem with Mercy being nine when the hero was born?

I want to add to the Dethroning Moment Of Suck page an entry about Overwatch, but considering it's not in the game proper, where should it go?
- So, when Overwatch revealed its newest hero (28 feb 2018), her official bio was put on the site, except the age she's given doesn't make any sense (she's supposed to be 28, but according to a letter released, Mercy is supposed to have been there a few days after she was born, meaning that Mercy would have been 9 when that happened). Compounded by the lead writer's reaction on Twitter when releasing her, which was a simple "some things are wrong with her backstory". He didn't proofread himself, he didn't check if the information he gave to the team uploading the site was coherent with what he wrote, and he didn't apologize for it, his reaction could be summarized as "meh, i made a mistake, no big deal". It's at this point that I gave up any hope I had left for some form of coherence/continuity with this universe or for Michael Chu to have any credibility as a writer.
