  1. It's honestly frustrating how soft the gaming community is towards Blizzard effectively saying "we don't care about your right to freedom of speech at our events if it conflicts with the money." I don't like either side of the protest (in fact, the Chinese/HK government and the protesters are both despicable in my honest opinion), but I do care about personal liberties. To be fully honest, they more than deserve to go down the toilet for this. Stop giving Blizzard money, period. Don't give some cash to the awfully green looking blue devil for a bit of entertainment.

     

    Frankly I think there should be some sort of reprimands put on BLIZZARD for this. They need to pay. I'm not saying to go burn down any buildings or murder people. I'm saying that they need to see a serious reduction in cash flow. I think anybody with a soul would recognize that they should not pay them any more money and not let them off the hook. Keep hammering them and make it stop. Give them a reason not to cater to the Chinese.

     

    Money may make the world go round (which is a sickening statement in and of itself but I digress), but that doesn't mean karma shouldn't be a serious b!+c# to the greedy and the corrupt and the powerful, in this case Blizzard. They need to feel what it's like to f*** over their audience to keep the cash flowing.

      As I said in the relevant thread, a lot of people just do not care. Blizzard produces games that you cannot get anywhere else (unlike, say, a lightbulb or TV where it is possible to buy almost the same item from a different company), those games are good enough for people to like them. And that is higher priority than the political opinion that does not involve the person in question (I do not live in HK or China, so Blizzard's stance does not really affect me).

      It sems that people nowadays are all talk but no real action - it is very easy to complain on the internet, but if it affects personally (boycotting Blizzard means not being able to play their games) it becomes not that important.

      Just like, for example, the Brexit referendum - young people were very loud on the internet saying that they want to remain, but actually voting was too hard for them.

      I think Blizzard made the correct choice - any backlash will be short lived, while the money from China will be long-term.
