Lol, you telling me that you made arguments and didnât attack my character? But I did take a look at posts and it seems that you go around trolling everyone trying to get a rise being extremely abrasive and nasty to everybody you talk to so goodbye internet troll.

Except, such a ridiculous contract is subject to the laws of sovereign nations. As far as I know, no modern sovereign nation (excluding China and countries similar to China) is ever going to make it legal for someone to make a document which says that you canât drink water again. Also, you can get sued for stuff like deliberate ambiguity when signing a contract.
Firstly, I was referring to you saying it was a âdiscussionâ. I thought the context was obvious but clearly not. Secondly, he didnât call for a revolution. He said liberate HK, which anyone who even knows whatâs going on there, would know thatâs it about the ban on covering your face and how China is violating the joint declaration. He never says anything along the lines of, âa forcible overthrow of a government or social order, in favour of a new system.â.
They took part in it by banning him, using deliberately vague ToS rules. If they had just ignored it or cut it immediately and give a slap on the wrist, the backlash they received for their political stance wouldnât have happened.
Stop exaggerating. Iâm just not keen on any company supporting a country which controls a genocide within parts of their country.
?? Iâm not telling them they should believe x. Iâm telling them that they shouldnât believe in y unless they want to piss off a lot of people.
Except, they got involved themselves when they banned the player in question. Stop moving as if they just got forced into the situation.

Iâm not exaggerating. Youâre trying to dictate how other people behave. Thatâs a fact. You might be doing it for a cause that seems noble, but the road to hell is paved with good intentions.
Same. I mean I know a lot of companies do this, but when itâs Blizzard, itâs disappointing

Go back to watching the blizzard stocks while listening to jim sterling in the background instead of adding more pollution to the forums, thanks!

I mean you can say all that but if you havenât been paying attention to media itâs been blowing up all over.
They Fâd up which is an understatement. And I think you arenât reading the room of how non-blizzard and non-gaming fans are judging you. (Supposed to be them, not you)
When politicians are commenting on what you did well it was at this moment that someone at Blizzard realized they messed up.

Yeah, Blizzard is in bed with China and wanted to punish someone whoâs critical of China. The part of the TOS they cited is very vague, and can basically be used to deny a person their earnings for saying pretty much anything.
They should be sued for 10x what they took. The contact is horribly one-sided, and Blizzardâs employees asked the question which lead to this. If a cop did this, then it would be called entrapment. This is also the technique tyrannies use to suss out malcontents. Complain about the leaders or ask a question like youâre sympathetic, then throw the person in the gulag when they agree.

Blizzard has been drifting leftward for years now, this isnât surprising.
The left is against this you fool
Itâs more akin to what Trump and the right
What a joke you are.

You people are making a chicken out of a feather. They didnât âf upâ sure I think the punishment was to harsh but dont go and break the tos and risk hurting a whole section of market for a company.
Who cares if blizzard doesnât want to risk alienating one of their largest markets. Makes sense to me tbh. All you people are emotionally overreacting and are making it seem like blizzard condones everything china has ever done.

âIâve been researching and I believe I know whatâs happening in Hong Kong.â This is what we want. The man took his punishment but this is why he did it. For more people to know whatâs going on.
Blizzard just needs to be aware that slipping into bed with China will ultimately cause death by greed. Please⌠I love Blizzard but fear for their future
Educate yourselves! Politics should not be in games but Blizzard has forced us to be aware
I have zero stake in the company. I donât work for Kotaku, GameStop nor is my bank account effected by the many bad decisions this company makes.
The only thing they harm for me is my enjoyment of Diablo and Overwatch.
Hereâs why what they did was wrong time, wrong place.
You are coming off a bad Blizzcon. Your official forum has little to talk about. Because no event news, content, lore, etc, this is whatâs front page.
Make a fun game to que in fast to and itâs a harder subject to talk about or keep interest.
When got out of work early morning this was one notification story on my phone.
By the time I woke up from a nap this story spread like wildfire.
Iâm not even reacting. Iâm more laughing at another tone deaf bone head decision they have made.
Blizzard did nothing but enforce the rules that were clearly spelled out.
I think the dude was awesome to be willing to default his prize to get a message out.
However, I do not think it is cool to demonize a party that does not wish to make a statement along with him.
He accepted the consequences before he did it. Blizzard is not unethical for being consistent.

The fact that regular people and politics of Blizzard made the news means DANGER. Act now!
Blizzard is a subsection of activision, and being a former cod fan, I can 100% vouch, they have been getting more greedy.
