As far as I've heard he signed a contract explicitly stating not to use the stream for political influence and then he turns around and does just that and people are surprised he's being punished. Especially considering if he went unpunished, Blizz could lose a large portion of their non-American consumer-base. There are plenty of outlets this player could have used for his message other than official Blizzard streams and it makes sense to me that they wouldn't want to get involved in taking a side on the HK protests. I predict in a month no one's going to care anymore and move onto the next giant EA disaster or Ubisoft screw-up. Then Blizzard will be flooded with people trying to re-activate their accounts. A lot of people didnt like the original response, but its also the constant doubling down on everything that theyve also been doing that has been keeping people pissed at them. The firing of the interviewers, the official response being that they would defend the honor of China, blacklisting pro-Hong Kong phrases in their games, preventing anyone to come to Blizzcon in Winnie the Pooh cosplay... its become clear that their priority is to defend China by censoring any negative speech about it, as opposed to screening political speech related to their events. All of this is also on the heels of China cracking down progressively harder on HK, banning South Park for making fun of them and turning the screws on the NBA because an owner dared to issue a statement supporting the Hong Kongers. Blizzard absolutely deserves the hate being levied at them. --- I'm Commander Shepard, and this is my favorite user on the Citadel.
