Blizzard is banning people in its Hearthstone Twitch chat for pro-Hong Kong statements

They desperately want this whole thing to go away, and are doing it in the least effective way possible.

There is no way for Blizzcon to be cancelled but it's like the company itself is trying its hardest to make it possible.
I don't think that's a possibility at this point. Too much put into a thing like that. Money spent, plans made, tickets bought, etc. They put their most liked personality on the stage and hope he/she isn't obliterated.
I hope Blizzard gets banned on China(and everywhere else lol) sooo badly, keep digging deeper you fucking idiots.
I wouldn't be surprised at this point if the poor fucker Blizzard put on stage at Blitzcon gets pelted with eggs.
I just wonder what is best case scenario at Blizzcon?
*we're sorry, we love our fans, everyone is included*
*Lich King WoW trailer*
*Diablo 4*
*again we're sorry and also, we are splitting from acti and becoming blizz again*
*sorry*
*tears*
*Overwatch 2 announced for next-gen*
User warned: personal attack
lol, and of course people like you would go and support a company who has connections with a communist country like China. Shame on you.
They really screwed themselves on this one. They tried to take a "well, we don't want any political statements and to stay focused on the game" which... makes sense in some respect because you wouldn't want maga chuds on there talking about trump or something. However, this incident is so specifically made to backfire because of the event in particular.
Now they technically "have" to go after any statement because they set themselves up for that. Oopsie.

You mean poor fucker(s). Every game/announcement is going to have a panel with members of every development team on stage.
Reimburse me the $1500 I'm spending on the trip and I won't go.
They better be wearing easily washable clothes.
That's all I can say.
I hope you packed your Winnie the Pooh T-shirt.

We are here to discuss the news, not attack other posters for their choices on what they do outside of this forum. Lets not.
I think they have too much hubris to do this ahead of time. The higher ups will think they can moderate things at their panels somehow. I think what's more likely is that the streams of Blizzcon get turned off/shut down as things escalate on-site & they realize they're in over their heads, but not beforehand.

I REALLY doubt they will do those audience Q&A sessions after what happened last year and what is happening with them and China now. If they did do them... god speed to those developers.
I mean at this point there's a lot of things you couldnt buy or do because of China. Such as watching that new Terminator movie, play Fortnite , Lol, use videogame consoles / pcs, since most materials are rare earth minerals anyway.
But ye fuck China though, surprised the Western world became its bitch
People bought tickets and planned trips months ago dude. Chill.
Unless this was /s.
As soon as the first guy comes out on stage the crowd is going to go balistic.
Its gonna be a spectacle for the ages.

Blizzard has absolutely imploded. Good lord. Growing up in the 90s, Blizzard was always famous as the last word in integrity and the highest quality standards. They've really torpedoed everything they once stood for, it's incredible.
