Guys I hate postcount shaming but this poster had 5 posts since 2017. The chance this is an alt is approaching critical levels.
This is a bullshit response. Fuck Blizzard. Remember you can always make blizzard hurt by cancelling your WoW subscriptions. You might not think it's much but when it comes to investors wondering why their numbers are low blizzard will have to do some explaining and continued lowered profits will make them think twice next time.

China's influence is obviously a factor in all of this but I want to know who over there is making the decisions anyway.
This is like that game I played, where the idealistic young hero got corrupted and turned evil! I wonder who made that game?
Is this intentional and thread-worthy, or do we think it's just a massive coincidence since the other Mei merch is still there? I can't tell.

Good times back then huh. I miss WC3/D2/early WoW Blizz....
Probably Tencent executives with heavy ties to the government.
that's not very bringing the world together through epic entertainment of them
Wonder if blitzchung will take the money anymore. Almost seems like bribe money to keep quiet and eat his sentence obediently.
Wait a minute they still suspended?
"I love the People's Republic."
Like others have said, this is obvious "Sorry we got caught" and this is clearly trying to appease everyone while not actually doing the right thing.
And seriously WHAT WERE THE CASTERS SUPPOSED TO DO!!!??? I still don't get why they are punished in this, they did nothing wrong in this. F*** Blizzard, Free Hong Kong.

I'd take the money and keep bringing up the situation in Hong Kong even if behind closed doors they thought it would be money to keep me quiet I'd just take that shit and flip em off as I left with it
Wow, what an incredibly godawful terrible statement. I don't think there's one thing it does well.
100 percent true. This is the time you try to bury news. Shameful act by Blizzard.

Yes, lets characterize Blitzchung, the guy who went on a post game interview to say "Liberate Hong Kong" as someone who would take this money (nothing wrong with that) and keep quiet (which is the part of the take that is fucking awful) about what is happening in Hong Kong.
C'mon man.
expect a Bethesda-like montage at Blizzcon "hey look at all these poor passionate employees you don't want to be pissed at, we're sorry!"
those fuckers
wtf? I'm not characterizing him as someone who would take the money and keep quiet. Why would you think that? I'm speculating as to the reasoning of Blizzard, and if Blitzchung would choose to reject the money to stick to his principles.
