Prevents them from going back in and using it to push propaganda, arguably. Though the more likely answer is that they just want to be able to go back to China and say "Yeah man, we totally punished those assholes!" It's like how they openly told the Chinese when they punished the initial player, but then didn't tell them that they eventually alleviated that punishment to try and placate the Western audience. They want to be seen as being hard on people who criticize the Chinese government so they can keep doing business there. --- "Wall of Text'D!" --- oldskoolplayr76 "POwned again." --- blight family <cite>ParanoidObsessive posted [p:928932042] in Blizzard w...
