Topic	Blizzard bans and withholds prize money from hearthstone player for HK support
Corrik7 10/08/19 3:58:18 PM #136:	KingButz posted... I don't care about the player and his money, really. It's the fact that Blizzard is an American country who would rather cater to totalitarian censorship than support Western free speech values. They will take Chinese money and then not only look the other way as that same country commits human rights violations, but support the regime's propaganda efforts to stifle the voice of the opposition. It's completely pathetic and unamerican, and an embarrassment to our society. Well, think of it this way. Because this person made that one comment, they are either gonna take a hit from Chinese consumers (their likely second biggest market) or take a hit from their likely biggest market (America) for taking action against it. This in no way happens if someone didn't make a political statement on their platform and put them in a controversial spot. Thus, why the rule exists. --- Xbox Live User Name - Corrik Currently playing: Division 2 <cite>Corrik7 posted [p:928510194] in Blizzard b...
