if anything, china is smart. easier to sway a country when you have a large stake in every industry that country has

Them doing it in other regions doesnt make it right that they are doing it to china, I dont want my vidya fucked with period, this just happens to fall within my interest and was extreme

Lmao this should be expected of any private company. I don't know what you think the solution is. Restrict their creative freedom? This is is just mass market appeal.

Just don't play AAA titles if you don't like it, most are crap nowadays.

Just abandon your hobbies lmao

No, just don't expect multi-billion dollar companies to not act like multi-billion dollar companies

That just sounds like be quiet and take it

Maybe I'm misunderstanding

i mean....kind of

how is anyone really going to affect them?

like this boycott doesbt really do anything to them lmao

most of their customers dont give a fuck

or give a fuck and still hand them money

The people doing the boycott need to read siege to know how to really get back at blizzard

I mean, HKers want to get them banned in China by making Mei a symbol of democracy.

Which is a total overreaction.

They literally just banned the player for six months, didn't even take his price money.

They would have if they didnt react the way they did

Enough people kicked up a stink and it got big enough that they had to back pedal

which is fucking stupid when people are essentially cutting 40% of a businesses revenue cause of some guy they never heard about getting banned for being a idiot lmao

people are ass

get the nukes

I agree with the second portion

inb4 people forget this garbage before 2020 hits

they always do

Ye

But blizzcon is in 3 weeks

Gonna be worth keeping an eye on

Theyve cultivated a super pc friendly fanbase through overwatch and the way theyve handled it

And WoW had all kinds

Itll be fun to see what happens

people pretending to boycott but in reality just act like fuckfaces lmao

remember when people were "upset" with google over dealing with china

I remember a time when Google threatened to abandon the Chinese market.

I'm finally freeeeeee

hurr hurr i'm finally

>how is anyone really going to affect them

ban all chinese money

and all european money while we're at it

literally close the fucking country

if you do business here, you HQ here and all your money is here and you don't do business elsewhere
