But none of those was against a totalitarian regime that controls a $1B+ market.Damn they throwing dude under the bus hard, folks have done worse in esports and not gotten 6 months suspension
Yeah you're right. Its not good enough.They didn't make things right at all. They're still punishing everyone involved and putting them all out of a job for 6 months. This is honestly a pretty terrible statement that ignores the fact that they didn't treat that college team the same way and that Blizzard China directly spoke out about how they're protecting the integrity of China.
Pretty much.
The specific views expressed by blitzchung were NOT a factor in the decision we made. I want to be clear: our relationships in China had no influence on our decision.

And there in lies two of the major problems with this statement. Blizzard China specifically defended "the integrity of China", & it doesn't address the hypocrisy of how they handled the other streamers who protested.They didn't make things right at all. They're still punishing everyone involved and putting them all out of a job for 6 months.

hehHowever, the official broadcast needs to be about the tournament and to be a place where all are welcome.
It's less than nothing, insulting this was the best they could do in a week
Yeah I'm glad he's getting his money at least... besides that this is just a laughably weak "compromise", why even release this statement when it essentially changes nothingBlitz got his money. That's one good step. 6 months? That's like 3 steps back. They should of done like a month ban or just none at all. Ooooof. Blizzard. You fuckers are on the brink of death here. Break away from Activision already and get back to your roots.
