Like if this guy does that with no repercussions what's to stop another and another and Blizzard perpetually becoming a soapbox for whatever charged topic comes up and becoming associated with all sorts of things they'd rather just stay out of cause there's no profit there. I feel like that kinda mindset was at work too, and is a lot more forgivable.


they could have not punished this guy and let everyone use their tournament interview time to talk about whatever they want forever and no one would ever know about it because who the hell is watching Hearthstone player interviews?
Choosing to censor him ended up giving him way more attention than he otherwise would have had and is the only reason any of us here even know what he said, so legitimately I think the best way for them to have avoided becoming associated with any sort of political topic would have been to just totally leave this alone... but that pesky Chinese government presumably forced their hand.

they really Streisand effected this up badly in a way that reflects poorly on them and attracts more negative attention to China than just not doing nothing would have, its super dumb
