Blizzards behavior is damaging, of that there can be no doubt… however it is also entirely expected and fully predictable. With expanding efforts to capitalize on Chinese markets, and a historic sensitivity to criticism from the government in power… it could be seen well in advance that criticism of current policy would force Blizzard to condemn and deny.

MY GAMERTAG: UE Sanctionite

Over the weekend, a Hearthstone player made headlines for protesting the Chinese government during a livestream.

At the time, Blizzard pulled the footage. But now? The player has been banned, his prize money has been taken away and Blizzard has also cut ties with the casters, who just happened to be on stream.
