I think we're in agreement.

There's a different between being surprised and angry.

Am I surprised that China harvests organs from minorities they throw into camps? At this point, no.

Am I unhappy about it? Yes. When I say I'm unhappy about it, are you going to remind me not to be surprised?

True, though your example is a bit different. My usage of surprise was more along the lines of someone knowingly saying/doing something controversial in a setting that is likely to enrage or stir things up, that they then direct their anger at the person/people/company who naturally would shut down the behavior. To me, it seems like misguided anger, because one would expect that the person who planned to do this would have anticipated the outcome of eventually not having free reign to do what they like, and they went in knowing that they'd be angry at the person who would ultimately stop them. This leads me to see it as them experiencing surprise, perhaps through lack of awareness at how the world works, in addition to anger of course.

With all that in mind, I think you're responding to people you imagine trusted blizzard to do something else

All I really wanted to say was that company's need to uphold their image and have a decent amount of control if they wish to remain stable. That's pretty much it.
