Blizz, Hong Kong, Freedom of speech, lets have an Adult discussion

I didn’t say it wasn’t chump.
But he was excited by the product he’d been working on and thus I feel sympathetic towards him when he received the inevitable backlash.

People expect trash…
Probably Nickelback

You know that dead guy from Germany that people don’t want me to name, said that if you tell a lie enough times it becomes truth, that’s what I see happening these days, constant lies and demonization of other countries, look I don’t think China has a perfect human rights record, but I see where all this demonization could lead, the last thing we need is a war with China, you think Russia is just going to sit there and do nothing, the reality is that USA could lose a war with China.

I think the mobile announcements are not great whatsoever however I think if they are just mentioned for like 5 minutes and they give us ACTUAL major PC games to look forward to everyone will be fine with em. The reason everyone was so pissed over Diablo Immortal is the fact that not only were there no major announcements at all for any of their series but on top of that it closed out the ceremony

Don’t get me wrong, war with China would a global catastrophe, but if Russian also joins in, all of NATO will jump in. It would be WW3 and possible nuclear holocaust.

Serious question, has anyone made a claim about China that was actually false? Everything I’ve seen them being called out for has been pretty accurate, and that is the point. People don’t even have to lie about China to make them look like a monster.

Think Joseph Goebbels instead and you’ll be on the right track:

“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.”

WW3 will definitely be a nuclear holocaust. But thanks to Nash equilibrium, even Trump can learn pretty fast that full war with another nuclear power is a big no no.

We all know WW3 is around the corner. There is enough nuclear weapons to end all life on earth 50 to 100 times over. Earth will look like Mars barren and lifeless.

Disagree. I’d wager it never happens.

Watch the Mad Max films, at that point they are educational.

And we are the only species that has the balls to launch all those nuclear weapons to turn earth into a toxic radioactive wasteland.

Well I don’t think it’s his lack of ‘balls’ that’s keeping my dog from nuking the world.

No. We are the only species on the planet with the brains to figure out how to make them.

Maybe China’s PC gaming market will grow, but their mobile will grow more.

Just one of many factors, the smartphones there, bar iPhones, are 20-30% cheaper than they are in the US, but PC is about the same price.

For PC gaming as a whole, especially Blizzard with its all but one major IP’s from the 90’s, the end is nigh.

You missed the point there. Its not a question of which platform will out perform in the Chinese market, it was a comparison of population stats to put the scale into proper perspective.

Can you say “blatant IP theft”?

Why? I’m talking about models that are internationally sold, OnePlus, or even Samsung.

And how many posts does this thread need? 50K 100K? Again what is blizzard going to do to get out of this jam?

Now were just beating a dead horse. Everything that was said was said 10K posts. How much more can bee added here?
