alright calm down.
You gotta wind up in a very special cross-section of capitalist greed and communist authoritarianism to get this kind of bi-partisan action.
Hold up now... what the FUCK did Bobby say about burgers?!
Some people keep saying it's impossible for them to cancel Blizzcon, but I really don't think it is. It's going to suck for Blizzard regardless of if they do or don't (which is their fault, of course), but trying to continue on as if this never happened is clearly not going to go the way they want it to. They need to cancel the convention so their devs don't face the brunt of the criticism in-person, delay the announcements they had planned, and actually take meaningful steps to course-correct this whole thing. It's the only good thing I can see for them.
Adam played the best hand he could, sure they lose china money in the short term. But everyone in the NBA is still making crazy money and China already looks like they are coming back.
Nothing is impossible, it's what they are willing to pay. They going to get bad press either way.
lmao
Yup, exactly. I just think the route of canceling Blizzcon is the one with slightly less bad press in the long run. But, we'll see if corporate Blizzard agrees.
I don't think they'll riot, and I hope they don't. The worst thing that could happen is someone getting hurt. But unrest? Protest? Disrupting presentations and using Q&A sessions to voice dissent?
I think it's more likely there are protests outside the event, and probably some of the people who have tickets will wear some Pro Hong Kong attire and maybe try to hijack the Q&A if possible.
no one should be applauded for reversing bullshit bans and punishments that shouldn't have been there in the first place.
I can absolutely imagine a suit thinking that's a good idea, but if it were to happen, I would hope that every single person in attendance would boo them. They shouldn't be applauded for fixing something they shouldn't have done to begin with.
