The Hong Kong situation is a little different. Blizzard got Slammed because how they censored someone that was trying to raise awareness. Had they simply not got involved one way or the other. I think nobody would of really cared.
They still didn’t learn their lesson fully. They are getting involved again. Although they are getting involved on the right side (imho) It’s still damaging to the game atmosphere. Their actions have consquences and that consquence is the real world is now seeping into peoples fantasy world.
