I definitely get that Blizzard had to do something here, despite me being on the HK guys side in this. Obviously, this being brought up was just asking for trouble. Reprimand, small suspension, some kind of middling penalty for breaking the rules (which he did, lets be real), fine.

This response? Waaaay too far. That takes it from measured protection of our interests to flat-out capitulation in my book.

I doubt Blizzard lacking my time or money is going to affect their bottom line much, but screw them, I feel better personally putting it somewhere else.

If this isnt that big of a deal to you, well, that does put me off a bit, but I dont have a right to choose what you do with your resources. Just dont dismiss my concern as muh outrage culture when it should be clear this retribution was disproportionate.
I have a feeling a winner won't do it again vs the "Hey, take your money and a few months off and come back and win next time!"

Oh they certainly made an example of him. Just like China itself makes examples out of people.

This might not be the analogy you want for public relations, though. The message could have been sent firmly but not so egregiously.
