Actually It appears everyone was jumping to conclusions as if Blizzard's punishment was to side with the opposition. They actually just came out and said their decision was not based around appeasing China at all and that they punish all players that use the platform for their social/political commentary. Blizzard literally posted in China this. https://www.dailywire.com/news/gaming-companys-statement-regarding-player-who-voiced-support-for-hong-kong-was-different-in-chinese We would like to express our strong anger and condemnation at what happened at the Hearthstone Asia Tournament last weekend. We also strongly object to the spreading of personal political beliefs during any contests. The contestant involved (Blitzchung) will be banned from participating in any contests, and the broadcasters involved will also be immediately stopped from working (under Blizzard). Meanwhile, we will, as always, be determined to defend the pride of the country (China). Them claiming China was uninvolved with their decision making is bull crap. --- Mwahahahaha. ...

So you're saying they don't have the rule but then post the actual rule? The rule doesn't say "you can't make political statements", it says "we get to decided if you get punished or fired for any reason if we feel like it". Which is dancing around the point anyway, because their actions show they care more about money than human rights. The fact that they used their rights as a company to fire or punish "employees" at their personal discretion doesn't change that. --- Mwahahahaha. ... Copied to Clipboard!

That is not Blizzard. That is the Chinese company that provides Blizzard servers in China. Why else would they say: "We are very angered and disappointed at what happened at the event and do not condone it in any way. We also highly object the spreading of personal political beliefs in this manner...We will always respect and defend the pride of our country." Blizzard's home country isn't China :/ --- ...

darkknight109 posted...Blizzard is completely within their rights to suspend a player for voicing political views during one of their broadcasts, inasmuch as it impacts their bottom line. I have no idea, nor do I care. How Blizzard chooses to mete out discipline is entirely up to them. I simply pass judgement on the end results. Which, in this case, was tremendously shitty. --- Kill 1 man: You are a murderer. Kill 10 men: You are a monster. Kill 100 men: You are a hero. Kill 10,000 men, you are a conqueror! ...

Lokarin posted...I hear China doesn't even allow skeletons in their media That's not the reason. It's because organized religion is not allowed, and by extension any creatures of superstition that might be sourced from stories linked to religion are not allowed. Because the CCP is aware that organized religion is a method of gathering people against them, and they believe this is a way to prevent that. --- YOU COULDN'T AFFORD IT! ... Copied to Clipboard!

ForteEXE3850 posted...it says "we get to decided if you get punished or fired for any reason if we feel like it". Technically, it could. If Blizzard agrees with the statement, the you probably wont get punished for it, political or not.

Blizzard is right to protect its brand and this is little different from any other violation of a public appearance policy that Blizzard might put on players. The first responsibility of a company is to its shareholders. As for the punishment, a suspension is makes the thing more fair.
