| Topic | Blizzard bans and withholds prize money from hearthstone player for HK support |
| MawiIe 10/08/19 9:22:02 PM #287: | I've been thinking about it, and if Blizzard actually had a rule that disallowed political talk I would 100% be on board with this guy losing his prize money. It would still be a bad thing for blizzard to do, and I would be outraged, but like the normal corporate outrage level of outrage. The truth is he took that risk to do something he believed in and dealt with the consequences. But the "rule" that blizzard is citing is that people can't say anything that would "hurt their brand" which makes this situation ten times more disgusting to me, because in this instance blizzard is actively saying the support of basic civil rights is "hurting their brand" People claiming that it's Blizzard's right to be apolitical are absolutely right, but that's not what they're doing in this particular situation. --- SantaRPG: Turning "i"s into "l"s since 2008! https://imgur.com/c9koh ...
