That never happened, live ammo was only used when a protester was attacking a police man with a metal bat.
I get the anger about this situation, but lying to solidify a position is a step too far.
OK we can agree that he was attacking the police man with a metal 'object' you can see from the footage that it definitely was not just an umbrella. I'm very sorry that the facts of this specific situation are getting in the way of your protest
I'm not sure that's how it works when it comes to Chinese branches of American companies. Not that it makes it right or anything, but I don't ever expect a Chinese subsidiary to openly go against the will of the Chinese Government. At least I haven't seen it. Not sure what would happen if they did.
You have to be more subtle man, not starting to lick the boot immediately.OK we can agree that he was attacking the police man with a metal 'object' you can see from the footage that it definitely was not just an umbrella.

People know this came from a Chinese employee in China, right?
Phew, thought so. Thanks for the clarificationLike the chinese branch? Hell yes, for any company that operates in China really. they dont give a fuck. Ultimately, like Hobbes said, its still the same company, so it falls in the same umbrella tho, even if I just wanted more clarity earlier.

"Sorry, what? I wasn't paying attention. I'm busy counting my money from China."
It's a shaking head phew. It IS bad for surewhy are you "phewing" tho, its still bad lol.
Right now you have a creepy ass "PRIDE OF OUR COUNTRY" statement from China, and NOTHING from NA so...yeah...

So rather than use rubber bullets, which have been used in the past, they use live ammo to shoot and potentially kill a protestor because a policeman got hit by a metal bat when he has full body gear on?
This is the hill you die on?
They are sharing it everywhere in hopes the Chinese government notices and bans Overwatch in China. Mods on r/overwatch deleted the image when it was shared even though it didn't break any rules.
I expect to see lots of Mei cosplayers at Blizz-con.
Nintendo of America is sill Nintendo. If they say something we usually say Nintendo said it. Samr with Sony UK. Microsoft Europe.
Different regions do not main they are a lessr part of company
Yes, but redditors hate the Chinese government. Lots of anti-chinese posts reached r/all when Tencent invested money on Reddit but they weren't deleted. I think r/overwatch mods must be paid Blizzard employees. I saw one mod quit r/hearthstone over this debacle.Tencent invested a lot of money on reddit recently. No wonder they're censoring stuff
It was to be expected the Blizzard China would say this, I think that openly criticizing the Chinese government would be pretty dangerous for them. It's the US branch that should really do more against this.
There was a tweet someone posted in one of the other threads that showed at least some Blizzard employees aren't happy about this.I wonder how it must feel to work for a company that doesn't care about basic human rights. Not good I assume.
Ooof, the rest of the company must not be very happy about this PR disaster.

I'd argue after last year the idea of giving the crowd a microphone would be up in the air, now... boy, that show is going to be a thing to watch.Blizzcon this year is gonna be a trip. Holy shit this is wild.

The in-game chat for BFV censors out Tiananmen.
Just out of curiosity, is "Fuck Blizzard" something all political divisions in the US can get behind? Or are some of them pro-Chinese atrocities for some terrible reason?
A bit, sure, but there's a movement to make Mei pro-democracy and that's got a LOT more momentum right now.I've also seen people post Mei as Pro-China as well though tbh.
