Is it tho? It doesn't even have that appearance to me. There isn't any sort of contrition or acknowledgement of serious fault. In fact it begins by justifying their position and why they feel they were actually right all along, but were simply too hasty in the actual punishments. It's nonsense and doesn't answer any of the actual concerns people have about the incident.This is the definition of giving the appearance of backing down without actually backing down.
technically he wasnt punished by blizzard but thats because his team straight up fired himWasn't that Overwatch player messing with an underage girl and didn't get any punishment?
Moving forward, we will continue to apply tournament rules to ensure our official broadcasts remain focused on the game and are not a platform for divisive social or political views.
Pretty much.They didn't make things right at all. They're still punishing everyone involved and putting them all out of a job for 6 months. This is honestly a pretty terrible statement that ignores the fact that they didn't treat that college team the same way and that Blizzard China directly spoke out about how they're protecting the integrity of China.
Blizzard said:We reserve the rights to defend the honour of our nation. (/tdlr)
The specific views expressed by blitzchung were NOT a factor in the decision we made. I want to be clear: our relationships in China had no influence on our decision.
That statement is so, SO bullshit. Fuck Blizzard, fuck Activision, fuck the Chinese government.
And honestly, fuck capitalism.

BULLSHIT, and saying that conviniently makes the issue only about the severity of the sanction, which is barely relevant and reductive.The specific views expressed by blitzchung were NOT a factor in the decision we made. I want to be clear: our relationships in China had no influence on our decision.
They should have just announced a new OW character and half off OW lootboxes and HS packs.They would have been better off saying nothing. This compromise felt like it was mediated in a camp. Their ccp masters barely gived. How embarrasing to keep saying slogans over and over again. Absolute dumbasses the lot of them.
