Too bad The Academy Awards don't take away the Oscar when someone wins for a movie, and then starts talking about politics, instead of the movie. I'm not saying anything about what is moral in the political landscape. I have no opinion there. I'm saying that brands standing up for their own brand is fine. A video game company wasn't built toward any political affiliation, and essentially sponsoring one side of it will create animosity and negativity toward the brand from those who disagree with what is being shown. Blizzard isn't saying what is right or wrong; they are saying just don't hijack their image with your own believes. Blizzard allowing someone to do this isn't much different than a baseball stadium letting a streaker stay on the field during a game, and making no effort to remove them. Again, I'm not defending Blizzard because I particularly care about their games, but I'll defend a company for wanting to keep their brand focused on the product. --- Bells, bells, bells! ...
