This must not stand.
They fired a championship winner, removed his prize winning after he voiced support for Hong Kong.
It’s similar to what happened with the NBA, South Park, and Winnie the Pooh. But unlike older traditional sports fans, gamers are younger, more idealistic, and louder, and this unites left and right like nothing I’ve seen in years (well, tied with letting the Kurds get massacred which is its own shitstorm)
I largely quit all gaming a while back as a massive waste of time, and this just affirms my decision. Chinese influence in traditional gaming via Tencent’s growing ownership of American game developers has been an unmitigated insidious plague, with the advent of loot boxes, pay to win, games as services, etc etc.
Not to mention Tencent also has a stake in Reddit, which has tried to squash this as well.
Please quit all Activision Blizzard games until the community once again forces them to do what’s right, similar to what happened with Classic WOW.
