what?! seriously its blocked in poland?? why??? all the pride events on league of legends were never blocked and they were a lot more revealing (revealing in terms of what characters like what characters etc). i think this is a slip up, I hope it gets fixed because I wanna experience it too!!

Yeah⌠I hope so tooâŚ
Really hope itâs just a slip up, but itâs already been so long and still no update. Hungary, Croatia, Lithuania, and Romania are in the same boat.
pretty sure thats on each countryâs regulations not blizzard
but im no international politics expert
Youâd like that⌠ButâŚ
There are no regulations in Poland that would prohibit them from releasing event here. You know what? Because those regulations would be in conflict in EU law, that every country that is part of have to abide toâŚ
So no, it is not âdown to local regulationsââŚ

I am read up on my countryâs politics. There are no anti-LGBT laws currently in order. We have gender reaffirming healthcare in place. Our constitution recently was changed to support same sex marriage with the help of EU regulation regarding humanâs rights.
Blizzard is 100% doing this purposely and making it look like itâs âfor our own protectionâ.

there might be some caveat somewhere but
it can indeed look like its on purpose on their end
but it is not illegal (yet). So that is EXACTLY WHY places like Poland and other bigoted places NEED stuff like this, so there is visibility and they canât just erase people.
But no, letâs just self-censor (like they did with so many things for China). Because they donât care about the players, or any community, they only care about money.

well if it is not on purpose, then it is a big donnkey fricking blunder isnât it? And after all the stuff they have blundered lately, it really isnât a good look.
(also they are now censoring the word Ay aRe eSs Ee??? how prudish can you be???)
Well my country is excluded and its far away from Europe
Yes there is because Blizzard would lose a lot of money if it were released there.
I am not sure if distance to Russia is actually the metric they used. The event is available in Belarus and Kazakhstan. Maybe they were afraid of potential pushback from players in Poland/Lithuania/etc?
Ok. Think about the venn diagram between people who balance the game and people who create the flag profile icons. What do you HONESTLY think the overlap is between these two? Cause itâs likely two separate circles.
why fix something that isnât broken
Polish players wouldnât push back crap, every game in here celebrates pride and no one is Having problems with it. Tbh the most homophobia Iâve seen from the US on Twitter comments under the overwatch pride anoucment then polish people complaining about any pride event like ever

You think the person who designed a few icons and title cards is the same one who balances the game?
p.s: its COULD"NT care less. Not could.
