| Topic | Blizzard bans and withholds prize money from hearthstone player for HK support |
| ShatteredElysium 10/08/19 11:30:10 AM #92: | I think it can be summed up as the punishment is disproportional to the crime and isn't consistent with how Blizzard has reacted in the past or how anyone expects them to react if this was not China related. I can understand some sort of punishment for the player but what they did was way over the top. They could have banned him for like 1-2 tournaments and sent out a reminder that you cannot use the stream for political reasons. A year ban and complete forfeiture of prize money is too severe and honestly it may as well be a lifetime ban because does anyone honestly thinks he comes back after this? I somehow doubt it. There's also absolutely no way the casters should have received any sort of punishment for this. They clearly didn't know about it and did everything possible to distance themselves from it as it happened. That's by far the most ridiculous result of this. I fully expect there to be backlash by viewer comments in streams for this. ... Copied to Clipboard! |
