I do not think they are wrong to reserve the right to make that decision either as obviously not wanting to be associated with controversy seems fine to me. However, I'd bet $$$$$$ was the underlying reason here. And, I definitely do not think it was to signal their support of the Chinese government regarding Hong Kong either. Of course their motivation was money. Nobody in this topic is alleging that Blizzard management is personally deeply devoted to Chinese nationalism. The fact that they're putting profit over principles that they presumably would say they believe in when it didn't cost them anything is exactly what people are objecting to. --- Congrats to Advokaiser for winning the CBX Guru Challenge! <cite>LordoftheMorons posted [p:928529050] in Blizzard b...
