| Emeraldegg 10/08/19 10:04:57 AM #75: | Even if blizzard didn't initially want to take a side, china asked them to take a side and they complied. Compare the situation in the NBA, where even though the commissioner basically told the guy who did the thing to watch what he says for the good of the league, he also stood up for the GM's right to free speech and china is still throwing a fit, even though silver made it clear it was just the guy's opinion and not the league's. China isn't out to keep everything neutral at the dinner table, they wanted the NBA on their side (they did not comply), and they wanted Blizzard on their side (they complied). Blizzard did not remain neutral because no neutral ground exists here. Either you comply with china or you don't, and that in their minds makes you either with them or against them, regardless of what you as a company want. --- I'm a greener egg than the eggs from dr. seuss ...
