They don’t need to cancel them. At most, I expect the questions to be asked by a moderator rather than the players themselves.
And theres your sign.
Did you really think they would still allow players to ask the questions after last year? One bad apple and all that.
I believe Blizzard dont want to touch too much on that subject, but they feel obligated to talk about that. I, personally, don’t want them to touch about that thing because it will feel outplaced talking about politics in a place that’s about games and news. I know it’s important but Blizzcon isn’t place for that.

Blizzcon wasn’t the place to announce a mobile game either… Their core audience has always been PC based. The outcry from last year proved that.
I mean…it’s still a game, they just tried another plataform y’know? But politics are too far away from what Blizzcon it’s about: news about Blizzard games!
Sure, but they opened the doors to this fiasco. We don’t live in a world where politics and entertainment are separate anymore. That’s just reality.
I don’t think that game was an MMO. I think they announced and ARPG similar to Diablo that looks like it involves LoL characters exploring Runeterra. It is not an MMORPG from my understanding and google search capabilities.
That’s the reality that people are building. Yes, it’s important to talk about politics and it’s unfortunate what blizzard had to do with that guy, but things are already settled, so stop forcing that sad reality into games before it actually becomes our reality
So Riot gets off the hook for out right banning Hong Kong talks and using prerecorded interviews to avoid any mess ups?
We’ll probably be moving back toward those sorts of broadcasts now. Extensive time delays and prerecordings so anything unsavory can be edited out.
No. Blizzard chose long ago to get deeply entangled with an authoritarian communist dictatorship. They brought this heat on themselves, and I hope they pay dearly for showing their true colors on the matter. They are greedy Chinese puppets.
I don’t play any riot games. They are 100% owned by Tencent…
This would have been super helpful info in the first post, lmao. That’s beautiful.
It was from some livestream they did yesterday while talking about their new mobile games.
Not only that but one of their top execs was suspended for a time for farting on employees and grabbing guys’ privates.
I mean, hold on. No one has ever denied the profitability of the mobile market.
The problem is is that we expect more out of games than what mobile has to offer. We don’t play Blizzard games in hopes they are like Candy Crush. We play Blizzard games because of the history of quality.
No, they are receiving a huge amount of flack too.
So is the NBA, so is Apple, so is every company that has done similarly.
Who are “we”? Also diablo is not some super deep series that a mobile version will need to be stripped.
Until they nerf your favorite champion into the ground one week, or get rid of a certain item you like, or get rid of your cigar that you’ve been smoking for years. Yes I’m still salty about Heart of Gold and Graves’ cigar.
